IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Keep the work area clean and well lighted.
Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.
2. Operate only in a well-ventilated area. Paint thinners and solvents may be harmful if inhaled.
3. Do not operate the sprayer in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust.
The sprayer is able to create sparks resulting in the ignition of the dust or fumes.
4. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating the tool.
Distractions are able to result in the loss of control of the tool.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the tool.
Do not use the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating the tool increases the risk of injury to persons.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair increases the risk of injury to persons as a result of being
caught in moving parts.
3. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the trigger is off before connecting to the power supply.
Do not carry the sprayer with your finger on the trigger or connect the sprayer to the power supply with
the trigger on.
4. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
5. Use safety equipment.
Wear protective paint spraying gloves and a MSHA/NIOSH-approved respirator during use.
Non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for the applicable conditions.
6. Always wear eye protection.Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the application.
The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
2. Do not use the sprayer if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Any sprayer that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Disconnect the tool from the power source before any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool unintentionally.
4. Store the tool when it is idle out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
A tool is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
5. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that affects the
tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. There is a risk of
bursting if the tool is damaged.
6. Use only accessories that are identified by the manufacturer for the specific tool model.
Use of an accessory not intended for use with the specific tool model, increases the risk of injury to persons.
SERVICE
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.
3. Use only lubricants supplied with the tool or specified by the manufacturer.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. INJECTION HAZARD!
Although this paint gun is airless, it still puts out paint at a very high pressure.
Through improper use, paint can be injected through a person’s skin, leading to serious injury,
possibly amputation. If paint is accidentally injected into someone’s skin, contact a doctor immediately.
Do not treat an injection injury as a simple cut. Injection can lead to amputation and requires immediate
surgical treatment.
2. Do not direct spray at people or animals.
Do not place your hand in front of Spray Gun’s nozzle or attempt to deflect paint spray with your hand during use.
Gloves and clothing don’t offer adequate protection from toxic paints, sealers, or stains.
3. Do not spray flammable materials in vicinity of open flame or near ignition sources.
Motors, electrical equipment, andcontrols can cause electrical arcs that will ignite a flammable gas or vapor.
Do not store flammable liquids or gases in vicinity of this unit.
4. Do not come into contact with a fluid stream created by a leak in the paint hose.
5. Do not leave Paint Sprayer pressurized while unattended.
6. Do not clean Spray Gun tip while it is still connected to paint hose.
7. Keep the trigger and the electrical cord plug clean and paint-free.
8. Do not run Paint Sprayer while empty. Damage to the unit may occur.
9. Do not use Paint Sprayer to spray asbestos, metallic paints, glazes, red lead, cement, ground chalk, abrasive grainy
paints containing lime, or bleach.
These will damage the spray gun and void the warranty.
10. Read all of the information concerning coating products and cleaning solvents.
Do NOT use bleach, low-flash naphthalene, acetone, alcohol or toluene when cleaning Paint Sprayer equipment.
11. Do not use bleach or halogenated hydrocarbon solvents (DCM, 1,1,1–trichloroethane, methyl bromine, carbon
tetrachloride, and ethyl iodide).
Long term exposure to many chlorinated hydrocarbons through inhalation can result in liver and kidney toxicity. Exposure of
unprotected skin to the solvents used can cause defatting of the skin resulting in dermatitis. Methylene chloride and vinyl
chloride have also been shown to be human carcinogens. Some of these solvents are flammable. Welding operations near
the these materials can create phosgene, a highly toxic gas.
12. Many spray guns contain aluminum, which reacts strongly to chlorinated solvents. Contact the solvent or coating
manufacturer as needed regarding potential chemical reactions.
13. Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.
14.
15.
Spraying hazardous materials may result in serious injury or death.
Do not spray pesticide, acid, corrosive material, fertilizer, or toxic chemicals.
Paints and solvents may be harmful or fatal if swallowed or inhaled.
Avoid prolonged skin contact with solvents or paints as they will irritate skin. After any contact, immediately wash off exposed
area with hot, soapy water.
16. Keep paint hose away from sharp objects.
Bursting hoses may cause injury. Examine hoses regularly and replace if damaged.
17. When flushing Paint Sprayer system, use lowest possible pressure setting.
18. All hoses and spray gun accessories used with Paint Sprayer must be pressure rated at or above 3000 PSI.
19. The Paint Sprayer must be plugged into an outlet that is grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
20. Use caution while spraying on windy days.
21. Do not use Paint Sprayer without the Spray Gun’s nozzle guard in place.
22. Paint Sprayer’s housing may become hot during use.
Do not touch housing until it has completely cooled.
23. Remove Spray Tip or turn to cleaning position BEFORE cleaning or flushing Paint Sprayer system.
24. Do not use pliers to tighten or loosen high pressure connections.
25. Sparks from improper grounding can ignite fumes!
Follow all local regulations regarding the use
of fluid supply containers and solvent pails used with flushing the Paint Sprayer. Use only conductive
metal pails placed on a grounded (concrete) surface. Do not place pails on nonconductive surfaces
(such as cardboard or paper). Ground all metal pails by clamping one end of a ground wire to the pail
and the other end to a grounded structure (such as a nearby pipe).
Maintain grounding, even when flushing or relieving pressure from Paint Sprayer into metal pail. The force of the spray can
knock a metal pail over, so hold down the metal pail and keep the metal part of the spray gun set against the grounded
metal pail when pressing the spray gun trigger.
26. People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use.
Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
