8. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over
or across running machines or air hoses.

9. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords and air hoses
periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician. The
handles must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.

10. Disconnect air supply. Disconnect air hose when not in use, when changing
accessories, and during maintenance.

11. Remove adjusting wrenches. Check that adjusting wrenches are removed from the
tool before attaching to the air source.

12. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the trigger is in the Off position when not in
use and before attaching to the air source. Do not carry any tool with your finger on
the trigger, whether it is attached to the air compressor or not.

13. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool
when you are tired.

14. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts
or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any
part that is damaged should be proper ly repaired or replaced by a qualified
technician. Do not use the tool if any trigger does not operate properly.

15. Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.

16. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories
intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are available from Harbor
Freight Tools.

17. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning
labels if taking prescription medicine to determine if your judgement or reflexes are
impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.

18. Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required, it must
be of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the compressor without
heating up. Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or cause electrical
damage to the compressor. Check your compressor’s manual for the appropriate size
cord.

19. Maintenance. For your safety, maintenance should be performed regularly by a
qualified technician.

20. Compressed air only. Never use combustible gas as a power source.

21. Do not spray near open flames, pilot lights, stoves, heaters, or any other heat
source. Most solvents and coatings are highly flammable, particularly when sprayed.

22. Clean Sprayer with care. Use non-flammable solvents.

23. Do not smoke while spraying. Most solvents and coatings are highly flammable,
particularly when sprayed.

24. Read all of the information concerning coating products and cleaning solvents.
Chlorinated solvents (e.g. 1-1-1 Trichlorethylene and Methylene Chloride, also known
as methyl chloride) can chemically react with aluminum and may explode. Many paint
sprayers contain aluminum. If you have any doubt about potential chemical reactions,
contact the solvent or coating manufacturer.

25. Materials used when painting or cleaning may be harmful or fatal if inhaled or
swallowed. Only use in an area with adequate ventilation. Use a respirator or mask
when painting or using cleaning solvents.

26. Never release the sprayer lid while the cup is pressurized.

27. Never point a spray gun at a person or animal. Always properly mask all objects
that are not to be painted.

NOTE: Performance of the compressor (if powered by line voltage)

may vary depending on variations in local line voltage.
Extension cord usage may also affect tool performance.
