Airless Spray Precautions

Airless Spray Precautions

• Do not use airless spray equipment unless personnel are fully trained.
• Never allow an untrained person to use the equipment.
• Never put hands or fingers in front of the spray gun.
• Never point the gun at a person.
• Never work on or repair pressurized equipment. The equipment must be shut off, the pressure released, and the trigger safety engaged before disassembly. SHUTTING OFF THE POWER DOES NOT RELEASE THE PRESSURE.
• Always secure connections to prevent leaks.
• Never spray a flammable solvent through the gun tip; the high velocity generates static electricity, which would cause a fire or explosion.
• Before use, check hoses for leaks, cuts, and wear. Replace any damaged hose. Never plug hose leaks with fingers.
• Wear protective gloves and goggles at all times.
• Use the trigger lock at all times when not actually spray painting (for example, before wiping the tip). Remove the tip guard only if spraying with it in place is impossible.
• Never leave pressurized airless spray unit unattended.
• Always remove the gun from the hose after flushing and when storing.
• The airless spray gun is a dangerous weapon. Keep the trigger safety engaged when not in use.
• Obtain immediate medical attention for injuries. Report the nature of injury and the type of fluid or solvent being used.
• Never smoke or use matches near spray applications.
