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.

Important Safety Instructions

Save these instructions.

This manual contains information that is
very important to know and under­stand. This information is provided for
SAFETY and to PREVENT EQUIPMENT
PROBLEMS. To help recognize this infor­mation, observe the following symbols.

Danger

indicates
an imminently hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, WILL result in
death or serious injury.

Warning

indicates
a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, COULD result in
death or serious injury.

Caution

indicates a
potentially hazardous situation which, if
not avoided, MAY result in minor or mod­erate injury.

Notice

indicates
important information, that if not fol­lowed, may cause damage to equipment.

Unpacking

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

Do not

operate
unit if damaged during shipping, han­dling or use. Damage may result in
bursting and cause injury or property
damage.

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 com-

bustible 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 collec-

tion 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 con-

taining 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.

3. Always work in a clean 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.

5. Do not over reach or stand on an
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 pre-

vent 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.

3. Rotate the tip back to the spray posi­tion and continue spraying (See Fig. 5).

4. If clogging continues, replace gun filter
and consider straining the paint prior
to use.

Equipment

damage
can occur if a needle or sharp object is
used to clean the tip. Tungsten carbide
is brittle and can be chipped.

FIXED TIP:

1. Depressurize and turn off the unit

per manufacturer’s instructions.

2. Lock gun trigger.

3. Remove tip and tip guard from the gun.

4. Soak tip in water or appropriate sol-

vent and brush away old paint or
impurities with a toothbrush until
the tip orifice has been cleared.

ADJUSTABLE TIP:

1. Turn adjustment knob fully counter-

clockwise to open tip to largest spray
pattern.

2. Pull trigger and spray into a bucket

or container. This should clear the tip
of any blockage.

3. If clogging continues, replace gun fil-

ter and consider straining the paint

prior to use.
CLEANING YOUR GUN: Follow clean­ing, use and maintenance instructions
included with your paint sprayer. After
flushing the pump and when finishing:

1. Rotate Spray Tip to the cleaning

position.

2. Release Trigger Lock.

3. Point Spray Gun into an empty waste
bucket and pull the Trigger. Spray at
least 1 gallon of fluid into waste
bucket. To reduce splashing, direct
the fluid stream along the inside of
the bucket and well above the fluid
level.

REFER TO PAINT SPRAYER SHUT­DOWN PROCEDURES.

4. Depressurize and turn off sprayer per
manufacturer’s instructions.

5. With the gun pointed in a safe direc­tion, pull the gun trigger with the
trigger lock disengaged to ensure
system is depressurized.

6. Engage Trigger Lock.

7. At this point the pump and spray
gun are clean, but still require prepa­ration for storage. Spray Tip Guard
or any accessory being used still
require cleaning.

CLEANING SPRAY TIP GUARD:

1. Remove Spray Tip with 1” or
adjustable wrench.

2. Clean Tip Guard with a cleaning
brush.

Maintenance

Pump

damage
may occur if these instructions are not
followed.

Before

perform­ing any maintenance, make sure to
relieve pressure from system and dis­connect power from sprayer.

• Do not use oil based solvents to

clean equipment after using latex
based coatings. Use only warm
soapy water.

• Always replace clogged gun filters,

do not attempt to clean them.

• Carefully follow cleaning and stor-

age instructions for your sprayer.

• Do not use metal or other hard

objects to pick dried paint material
from Spray Tip Orifice.

TRIGGER LOCK

Pulling the trigger
must not open the gun
valve when trigger
lock is activated.

You should be able to

get the actuator to wiggle slightly with
your finger while holding the trigger
against the trigger lock when it is in
the locked position. If you cannot,
adjust the trigger position by following
these instructions:

1. Place trigger in locked orientation
(tabs horizontal).

2. With one hand holding trigger
lightly against lock, use a 1/4” nut
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
base.

4. With flat side of seal facing up,
place seal in base. Make sure it lines
up properly with base.

5. Place washer in base. Make sure it
lines up properly with base.

6. Put spray tip back in tip base.

7. Reattach tip base to gun valve.

Make sure spray tip and
tip base fit snugly in
place. A loose fit can
lead to misdirected
spray discharge and a
skin injection hazard.
