When these symbols appear in the body of this manual or on warning labels, refer back to these warnings again. Product-specific  hazardsymbols and warnings not covered in this section may appear throughout the body of this manual where applicable.

SKIN INJECTION HAZARD

• High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body and cause serious bodily injury. In the event that injection occurs, get immediate surgical treatment.
• Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.
• Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks with any part of the body.
• Always use the spray tip guard. Do not spray without spray tip guard in place.
• Use STORCH spray tips.
• Use caution when cleaning and changing spray tips. In the case where the  spray tip clogs while spraying,follow the Pressure Relief Procedure for turning off the unit and relieving the pressure before removing the spray tip to clean.
• The system remains pressurised after having switched it off. Do not leave energised or pressurised units unattended. Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when the equipment is unattended or not in use, and before servicing, cleaning, or removing parts.
• Check hoses and parts for signs of damage. Replace any damaged hoses or parts.
• This system is capable of producing 3,300 psi / 227 bar. Use STORCH replacement parts or accessories that are rated a minimum of 3,300 psi / 227 bar.
• Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify the trigger lock is functioning properly.
• Verify that all connections are secure before operating the unit.
• Know how to stop the unit and bleed pressure quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode. To help prevent fire and explosion:

• Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near an open flame or sources of ignition such as cigarettes, motors, and electrical equipment.
• Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to result in static electricity. Static electricity creates a risk of fire or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent fumes. All parts of the spray system, including the pump, hose assembly, spray gun, and objects in and around the spray area shall be properly earthed to protect against static discharge and sparks. Use STORCH conductive or earthed high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses.
• Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to prevent static discharge.
• Do not use a paint or a solvent containing halogenated hydrocarbons.
• Do not spray flammable or combustible liquids in a confined area.
• Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area.
• Sprayer generates sparks. Keep pump assembly in a well ventilated area at least 20 feet (6.1 m) from the spray area when spraying, flushing, cleaning, or servicing. Do not spray pump assembly.
• Do not smoke in the spray area or spray where sparks or flame is present.
• Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products in the spray area.
• Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other flammable materials.
• Know the contents of the paints and solvents being sprayed. Read all Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and container labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and solvents manufacturer’s safety instructions.
• Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.

Misuse can cause death or serious injury.

• Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection, and a respirator or mask when painting.
• Do not operate or spray near children. Keep children away from equipment at all times.
• Do not overreach or stand on an unstable support. Keep effective footing and balance at all times.
• Stay alert and watch what you are doing.
• Do not operate the unit when suffering from fatigue or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
• Do not kink or over-bend the hose.
• Do not expose the hose to temperatures or to pressures in excess of those specified by STORCH.
• Do not use the hose as a strength member to pull or lift the equipment.
• Do not spray with a hose shorter than 24.5 feet.
• Do not alter or modify equipment. Alterations or modifications may  voidagency approvals and create safety hazards.
• Make sure all equipment is rated and approved for the environment in which you are using it.

PRESSURIZED ALUMINIUM PARTS HAZARD

Use of fluids that are incompatible with aluminium in pressurized equipment can cause serious chemical reaction and equipment rupture. Failure to follow this warning can result in death, serious injury, or property damage.

• Do not use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids containing such solvents.
• Do not use chlorine bleach.
• Many other fluids may contain chemicals that can react with aluminium. Contact your material supplier for compatibility.
