Work Area

NOTICE

Clean the Spray Gun IMMEDIATELY after EVERY use.

Delayed or inadequate cleaning will permanently clog the Spray Gun.

Latex paint hardens quickly and permanently inside Spray Gun.

1. Keep the work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.

2. Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.

Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Electrical safety

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

2. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased

risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

3. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating the tool.

Distractions are able to result in the loss of control of the tool.

4. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the

cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

5. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI

reduces the risk of electric shock.

SAFETYOPERATIONCLEANING / MAINTENANCE SETUP

Personal Safety

1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.

A moment of inattention while operating the tool increases the risk of injury to persons.

2. Dress properly. Do not wear

loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair increases the risk of injury to persons as a result of being caught in moving parts.

3. Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

4. Use safety equipment. Wear heavy-duty work gloves and a NIOSH-approved respirator during use. Non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for

the applicable conditions.

5. Always wear eye protection. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.

Tool Use and Care

NOTICE

Clean the Spray Gun IMMEDIATELY after EVERY use.

Delayed or inadequate cleaning will permanently clog the Spray Gun.

Latex paint hardens quickly and permanently inside Spray Gun.

1. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which the tool is designed.

2. Unplug the tool before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool unintentionally. Unplug the tool, safely discharge any residual pressure, and release the trigger before leaving the work area.

3. Store the tool when it is idle out of reach

of children and other untrained persons.

A tool is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

4. Check for misalignment or binding of

moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that affects the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool

serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

5. Use only accessories that are identified

by the manufacturer for the specific tool model. Use of an accessory not

intended for use with the specific tool model, increases the risk of injury to persons.

Service

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Specific Safety Instructions

1. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain. Store indoors.

2. Risk of Explosion – Do not spray flammable liquids.

3. Do not direct spray at people or animals.

4. Read all of the information concerning coating products and cleaning solvents.

Do not use chlorinated solvents (e.g. 1-1-1 trichloroethylene and dichloromethane, also known as methylene chloride) to clean spray guns. Many spray guns contain aluminum, which reacts strongly to chlorinated solvents. Contact the solvent or coating

manufacturer as needed regarding potential chemical reactions.

5. Industrial applications must follow OSHA requirements.

6. Risk of injection - Do not point spray gun at any person or any part of the body. In case of skin injection, seek medical attention immediately.

7. Spraying hazardous materials may result in serious injury or death. Do not spray pesticide, acid, corrosive material, fertilizer, or toxic chemicals.

8. Paints and solvents may be harmful or fatal if swallowed or inhaled. Avoid prolonged skin contact with solvents or paints as they will irritate skin. After any contact, immediately wash off exposed area with hot, soapy water.

9. Attach all accessories properly to the tool before plugging in the tool. A loose accessory may detach or break during operation.

Grounding

TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION: Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is

Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Double Insulated Tools: Tools with Two Prong Plugs

1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do

properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool.

2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration. (See Figure A.)

3. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse

not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code.

the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Extension Cords

1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord.

2. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. (See Table A.)

Page 6 For technical questions, please call 1-888-866-5797. Item 62267

3. The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. (See Table A.)

4. When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Table A.)

5. If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size. (See Table A.)
