Safety
This manual contains information that must be read and
understood before using the equipment. When you come to
an area that has one of the following symbols, pay particular
attention and make certain to heed the safeguard.
This symbol indicates a potential hazard that may cause
serious injury or loss of life. Important safety information will
follow.
This symbol indicates a potential hazard to you or to the
equipment. Important information that tells how to prevent
damage to the equipment or how to avoid causes of minor
injuries will follow.
NOTE: Notes give important information that should
be given special attention.
HAZARD: GENERAL — May cause property damage or
severe injury.
PREVENTION:
• Read all instructions and safety precautions before
operating any equipment.
• Comply with all appropriate local, state and national codes
governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.
• The United States Government Safety Standards have
been adopted under the Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA). These standards, particularly Part 1910 of
the General Standards and Part 1926 of the Construction
Standard should be consulted.
• This equipment is designed to be used with authorized
parts only. When using this equipment with parts that do
not comply with the minimum specifications and safety
devices of the equipment manufacturer, the user assumes
all risks and liabilities.
• Check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion or bulging of
cover, as well as damage or movement of couplings
before each use. If any of these conditions exist, replace
the hose immediately. Never repair a paint hose.
• Never aim the spray gun at any part of the body.
• Wear protective eyewear.
HAZARD: SKIN BURN INJURY— Heated parts can cause
severe skin burn injury.
PREVENTION:
• Quick-disconnect fittings on the hose and the spray gun
become hot during use. Avoid skin contact with any
quick-disconnect fittings when they are hot. Allow the
quick disconnect fittings to cool before disconnecting the
spray gun from the hose
• The compressor becomes hot during use. Allow the
compressor to cool before touching it.
HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS — Paints, solvents,
insecticides, and other materials may be
harmful if inhaled causing severe nausea,
fainting, or poisoning.
PREVENTION:
• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that
vapors may be inhaled. Read all instructions with the
mask to insure that it will provide the necessary protection
against the inhalation of harmful vapors.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION — Compressed air has great force
and may cause injury.
PREVENTION:
• The maximum operating range of the unit is 125 PSI air
pressure.
• The pressure pot assembly is protected from overpressurizing by a safety valve. Pull the ring on the safety
valve occasionally to make sure that the valve operates
freely. The valve must be replaced if it does not operate
freely or if it does not release air when the ring is pulled.
• Never modify the pressure pot or the compressor.
• All accessories must be rated at or above 125 PSI. This
includes spray tips, guns, extensions, hoses, and other
tools.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE — Solvent and paint
fumes can explode or ignite causing property
damage and or severe injury.
PREVENTION:
• Exhaust and fresh air introduction must be provided to
keep the air within the spray area free from the
accumulation of flammable vapors.
• Keep the turbine at the maximum distance possible from
the spray area.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity sparks,
open flames, pilot lights, hot objects, cigarettes, and
sparks caused by connecting and disconnecting power
cords and operating light switches.
• Keep the motor away from spray area to avoid solvent
and paint fumes. Motor contains arcing parts which emit
sparks.
• Fire extinguishing equipment must be present and in
working order.
• The power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.
• Follow the material and solvent manufacturer's safety
precautions and warnings.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric 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
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
WARNING
Improper installation 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 green grounding wire to either flat blade terminal.
The wire with insulation having a green outer surface with or
without yellow stripes is the grounding wire and must be
connected to the grounding pin.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you
are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug 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 below.

If an extension cord is used, make sure that it is of the 3conductor type with NEMA connectors so a continuous
grounding circuit is provided from the tool to the power circuit
receptacle. Also, be sure that the conductor size is large
enough to prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause
loss of power and possible motor damage to the unit. A table
of recommended extension cord sizes is shown below.
If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked
with the suffix W-A following the cord type designation. For
example, SJTW-A to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor
use.
Use only a 3-wire 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 in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy
enough to carry the current your product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in
loss of power and overheating. A 14 or 12 gauge cord is
recommended.
NOTE: Do not use more than 100 feet of extension
cord. If you need to paint further than 100 feet
from your power source, use more paint hose,
not more extension cord. Shorter extension
cords will ensure maximum electrical power
for proper operation.
Setup
Connecting the Spray System
1. Make sure the ON/OFF lever on the pressure switch is on
the OFF position.
2. Connect the compressor hose from the lower storage tank
to the pressure pot air inlet.
NOTE: The hose features quick-disconnect fittings.
To use, pull back on the spring-loaded collar
of each fitting. Slide the hose fitting over the
correct connection and release the collar.
3. Thread the end of the material hose onto the pressure pot
material outlet and tighten.
4. Thread the other end of the material hose onto the spray
gun material inlet and tighten.
Introduction
