the user to read and understand all instructions, IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS, and safety precautions before operating the unit
and to use the unit properly. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury or loss of life and product damage.

Do not try to repair (or disassemble) the unit yourself. Repairs
should be performed by a qualified shop familiar with this unit or
returned to HOME RIGHT®(see warranty). This unit is to be used
with authorized parts only. When using parts that do not comply
with the specifications and safety devices of the manufacturer, the
user assumes all risks and liabilities.

• DO NOT aim sprayer at yourself or anyone else; in the event of

injury, seek expert medical advice immediately.

• DO NOT operate sprayer without paint or fluid in it, the sprayer
force can cause injuries to people and animals.

• ALWAYS wear mask, goggle, ear protectors and eye protection
while operating the sprayer.

• ALWAYS unplug the cord to prevent accidental spraying when
you stop spraying.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

The product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER - Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a risk
of electric shock.

If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The
grounding wire has green insulation, with or without yellow
stripes.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a
grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure A.
Make sure the product is connected to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. A temporary adapter which looks like
the adapter illustrated in Figures B & C, may be used to connect
the plug to a 2-pole receptacle as shown in Figure B if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should
only be used until a properly grounded outlet (Figure A) can be
installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear lug
or the like extending from the adapter must be connected to
a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box
cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by
a metal screw.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only a three-pronged extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on
the product. Make sure your extension cord is UL/ETL/CSA listed
and is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough for the current - for lengths less than
18 feet use a No. 18 AWG. or heavier, for more than 18 feet use
No. 16 AWG. If in doubt use a heavier gauge. An undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and
overheating.

STORAGE

Make sure unit is clean and dry before storing. Store in a dry
location. The electrical cord should not be crimped during storage
to prevent damage.

Attention: The temporary adapter shown in sketch B and C is not for use in
Canada. Use only a grounded outlet with this unit.
