Description

Airless paint sprayers are capable of
spraying a wide variety of latex, oil­based, and alkyd paints, as well as
stains, preservatives and other non­abrasive finishes. Sprayers are also
powerful and versatile enough to be
used with a variety of options (roller
attachment, extra lengths of hose, etc.)
to be an even more efficient tool.

Unpacking

After unpacking the unit, inspect
carefully for any damage that may
have occurred during transit. Make
sure to tighten fittings, bolts, etc.,

General Safety Information

1. To reduce the risk of fire

or explosion, electrical
shock, and injury to
persons, read and
understand all
instructions included with this
product. Be familiar with the controls
and the proper use of the
equipment.

2. This product should be grounded.
Follow all grounding instructions
included with your sprayer (pump).

To reduce risk of fire or

explosion:

1. Do not spray flammable or

combustible materials near an open
flame or sources of ignition such as
cigarettes, motors, and electrical
equipment.

2. 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 grounded to
protect against static discharge and
sparks. Use only conductive or
grounded high-pressure airless paint
sprayer hoses specified by the
manufacturer.

3. Verify that all containers and

collection systems are grounded to
prevent static discharge.

4. Connect your sprayer to a grounded

outlet and use grounded extension
cords. Do not use a 3 prong to 2
prong adapter.

5. Do not use paints or solvents

containing halogenated
hydrocarbons such as methyl
bromine, carbon tetrachloride, and
ethyl iodine.

6. Keep spray area well ventilated.

Keep a good supply of fresh air
moving through the spray area.

7. Do not smoke or eat in the spray

area.

8. Do not operate light switches,

engines, or similar spark producing
products in the spray area.

9. Keep area clean and free of paint

or solvent containers, rags, and
other flammable materials.

10. Know the contents of the paints

and solvents being sprayed. Read all
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
and container labels provided with
the paints and solvents. Follow the
paint and solvent manufacturer’s
safety instructions.

11. Do not use materials with a flash

point less than 20°C (70°F) in or to
clean this equipment. (Examples of

acceptable cleaning solvents are:
water, mineral spirits, lacquer
thinner, Xylene and high flash
naphtha. A PARTIAL example list of
unacceptable cleaning solvents are
low flash naphtha, mek, acetone,
alcohol, toluene and fuels of any
kind.

12. Have fire extinguisher equipment
present and working.

To reduce the risk of
skin injection:

1. Do not aim the gun
at, or spray, any
person or animal.

2. Keep hands and other body parts
away from the discharge. For
example, do not try to stop leaks
with any part of the body.

3. Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do
not spray without nozzle tip guard
in place.

4. Do not remove tip while cleaning
the pump.

5. Only use a nozzle tip specified by
the manufacturer.

6. Use caution when cleaning and
changing nozzle tips. Before
removing the nozzle tip, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for
turning off the unit and relieving
the pressure.

7. Do not leave the unit energized or
under pressure while unattended.
When not in use turn off the unit
and relieve the pressure in
accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.

8. High pressure spray is able to inject
toxins into the body and cause
serious bodily injury. In the event
that injection occurs, seek medical
attention immediately.

9. Check parts for signs of damage.
Replace any damaged parts.

10. This spray gun is rated for 3000 psi
(205 bar). Do not use on systems
designed to produce more than
3000 psi (205 bar).

11. Always engage the trigger lock
when not spraying. Verify the
trigger lock is functioning properly.

• To lock (engage): rotate tabs on
lock to horizontal position.

• To unlock (disengage) to spray:
rotate tabs on lock to vertical position.

General Safety Information
(Cont.)

NOTE: If gun sprays while in the locked

position follow instructions in
Maintenance section for trigger lock.

12. Verify that all connections are
secure before operating. Do not use
pliers to tighten or loosen high
pressure connections.

13. Know how to stop your unit and
bleed pressure quickly. Be
thoroughly familiar with the
controls.

To reduce the risk of injury:

1. Do not spray acids,
corrosive materials, toxic
chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides.
Using these materials could result
in death or serious injury.

2. Always wear appropriate gloves,
eye protection, and a respirator or
mask when painting.

environment. Do not aim the spray
gun at any dust or debris.

4. Do not operate or spray near
children. Keep children, pets, and
visitors away from equipment and
work area at all times.

unstable support. Keep effective
footing and balance at all times.

6. Stay alert and watch what you are
doing.

7. Do not operate the equipment
when fatigued or under the
influence of drugs or alcohol.

Preparation

Airless painting systems, unlike most
other power tools, require additional
care to ensure proper working order.

CONSULT YOUR AIRLESS PAINT
SPRAYER OWNER'S MANUAL FOR
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.

Spraying Instructions

Professional looking results can be
obtained by following the spray tips
below.

1. Keep the gun perpendicular to the
surface.

Always hold the gun perpendicular
to the surface with the tip
approximately 12” from the surface.
If held at an angle (up and down or
side to side), paint will build up
unevenly, leave the work splotchy,
and cause excessive overspray (See
Figure 1).

2. Move with a smooth arm stroke
Move the gun at a steady, even

pace while keeping the gun
perpendicular to the surface (See
Figures 1 & 2). Do not fan the gun.
Fanning the gun will cause excessive
overspray and uneven coverage
(See Figure 2).

3. Start moving the gun before triggering
To get a smooth overlap and

prevent initial paint buildup, start
your stroke movement before
pulling the trigger. Release the
trigger before stopping at the end
of the stroke (See Figure 3).

NOTE: To assure uniform paint coverage,
overlap each stroke by 20% - 30% and
use two coats with a cross pattern (one
coat horizontal, second coat vertical).

HOW TO CHANGE SPRAY TIPS:

It may be necessary to change spray
tips during a paint job. Follow these
steps for safe, easy tip changes.

1. Depressurize and turn off unit per
manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Engage gun trigger lock.

3. Pull red tip insert
out of spray base
and replace with
different tip, fully
inserting tip into base.

HOW TO ATTACH ROLLER
ACCESSORY:

1. Depressurize and turn off unit per
manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Engage gun trigger lock.

3. Remove spray base, tip, seal and
washer assembly.

4. Attach roller
accessory
(AL2275
shown) to
airless spray
gun. If needed
use thread adapter and washer
between roller and spray gun as
shown.

INTERMITTENT USE

If you are spraying and decide to stop
for several minutes, lock the spray gun
trigger and submerge the tip in a
container of suitable solvent (See Figure

4). This will prevent paint from

hardening in the tiny spray opening and
clogging the tip. Be sure to release

the pressure in the system and turn
the unit off according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

driver to turn nut in until trigger
starts to come off the lock.

3. Reverse the nut (counterclockwise)
1/2 turn.

TIP SEAL AND WASHER

Occasionally, you will need to replace
the silver seal and black washer located
inside the tip base.

1. To replace seal and washer, first
loosen tip base with adjustable
wrench, and then remove by hand.

2. Remove spray tip.

3. With Phillips screwdriver, push seal
and washer out from front of tip
