GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING! Read and understand
all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric
shock, fire and / or serious personal injury.
The term “power tool” in all of the warnings
listed below refers to your mains-operated
(corded) power tool.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Work area
a) Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
ammable liquid, gases, or dust. Power tools
create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep bystanders, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs
and matching outlets will reduce the risk of
electric shock.
Grounded tools must be plugged into an
outlet properly installed and grounded in
accordance with all codes and ordinances.
Never remove the grounding prong or
modify the plug in any way. Do not use
any adaptor plugs. Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools
should electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low resistance
path to carry electricity away from the user.
b) 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 earthed or
grounded.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the
cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep the cord away from heat,
oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e) When operating a power tool outdoors,
use an outdoor extension cord suitable
for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for
outdoor use reduces the risk of electric
shock.
3
Personal Safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
b) Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Safety equipment such as dust
mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or
hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off position before plugging
in. Carrying tools with your finger on the
switch or plugging in tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d) Remove adjusting key or wrench before
turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the tool
may result in personal injury.
e) Do not overreach. Keep a proper footing
and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts.
g) If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,
ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-
related hazards.
Power tool use and care
a)Do not force the power tool. Use the
correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b)Do not use the power tool if the switch
does not turn it on and off. Any power tool
that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c)Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool
accidentally.
d)Store idle tools out of reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the
power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e)Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
4
f)Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.
g)Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions and in the manner intended for
the particular type of power tool, taking into
account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool
for operations different from intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
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 RULES
WARNING: HIGH PRESSURE. Never leave
pressurized system unattended. Always
follow the Pressure Relief Procedure.
Take precautions to avoid high pressure
component rupture.
DANGER: INJECTION INJURY. Skin injection
by high pressure paint is not a simple cut. It
must be treated surgically immediately.
WARNING: FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD.
Take all precautions to avoid sources of
sparks and ignition when spraying. Keep the
machine at least 8 meters away from the
spraying operation.
WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AT ALL TIMES.
Always use a respirator, eye protection and
protective clothing.
If the supply cord of this power tool is
damaged it must be replaced by a specially

organization.
Specic safety rules for Airless Sprayers
HANDLE THIS UNIT AS YOU WOULD A LOADED
WEAPON!
Extreme high pressure spray can cause
extremely serious injury.
OBSERVE ALL WARNINGS!
Keep clear of moving parts when starting
or operating the sprayer. Do not put
your fingers into any openings to avoid
amputation by moving parts or burns on
hot parts. When starting the motor, maintain
a safe distance from moving parts of the
equipment.
Before adjusting or servicing any mechanical
part of the sprayer, follow the PRESSURE
RELIEF PROCEDURE.
EXPLOSION RISK FROM HALOGENATED
HYDROCARBON SOLVENTS
Never use halogenated hydrocarbon
solvents in this machine.
5
Contact with aluminum parts may cause an
explosion.
Some of the most common of these solvents
are: Carbontetrachloride, Chlorobenzene,
Dichloroethane, Dichloroethyl Ether,
Ethylbromide, Ethylchloride, &
Tethrachloethane.
PREVENT STATIC SPARKING FIRE/EXPLOSIONS
Vapors created when spraying can be
ignited by sparks.
To reduce the risk of re, always locate the
sprayer at least 20 feet (6 m.) away from
spray area. Do not plug in or unplug any
electrical cords in the spray area. Doing
so can cause sparks which can ignite any
vapors still in the air. Follow the coating &
solvent manufacturers safety warnings and
precautions.
MEDICAL ALERT - Airless Spray Injection
Injuries
If any uid appears to penetrate your skin,
GET EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE AT ONCE.
DO NOT TREAT AS AN ORDINARY CUT.
High pressure fluids from spray or leaks are
powerful enough to easily penetrate the skin
and cause extremely serious injection injury,
leading to the possible need for amputation.
• NEVER point the spray gun at anyone or
any part of the body.
• NEVER put your hand or fingers over
the spray tip. Do not use a rag or any
other materials over your fingers. Paint
will penetrate through these materials &
into the hand.
• NEVER try to stop or deflect leaks with
your hand or body.
• ALWAYS have the tip guard in place
when spraying.
• ALWAYS lock the gun trigger when you
stop spraying.
• ALWAYS remove tip from the gun to
clean it.
• NEVER try to "blow back" paint, this is
not an air powered sprayer.
• ALWAYS follow the PRESSURE RELIEF
PROCEDURE before cleaning or
removing the spray tip or servicing any
system equipment.
• Be sure the equipment safety devices
are operating properly before each
use.
• Tighten all of the fluid connections
before each use.
• NEVER alter equipment in any manner.
• NEVER smoke while in spraying area.
• NEVER spray highly ammable materials.
• NEVER use around children.
• NEVER allow another person to use
sprayer unless he is thoroughly instructed
on its safe use and given this operator’s
manual to read.
• ALWAYS wear a spray mask, gloves and
protective eye wear while spraying.
• ALWAYS ensure fire extinguishing
equipment is readily available and
properly maintained.
NEVER LEAVE SPRAYER UNATTENDED WITH
PRESSURE IN THE SYSTEM. FOLLOW PRESSURE
RELIEF PROCEDURES
6
ALWAYS INSPECT SPRAYING AREA
• Keep the spraying area free from
obstructions.
• Make sure the spraying area has good
ventilation to safely remove vapors and
mists.
• NEVER keep flammable material in
spraying area.
• NEVER spray in vicinity of open ame or
other sources of ignition.
• The spraying area must be at least 20 ft.
away from spray unit.
SPRAY GUN SAFETY
• ALWAYS set gun safety lock in the
"LOCKED" position when not in use &
before servicing or cleaning.
• NEVER remove or modify any part of the
gun.
• ALWAYS REMOVE THE SPRAY TIP when
cleaning. Flush unit at the LOWEST
POSSIBLE PRESSURE.
• ALWAYS check operation of all gun
safety devices before each use.
• Be very careful when removing the
spray tip or hose from the gun. A
plugged line will contain fluid under
pressure. If the tip or line is plugged,
follow the pressure relief procedure
and helps prevent accidentally placing
your fingers or any part of your body
close to the spray tip.
SPRAY TIP SAFETY
• Use extreme caution when cleaning
or changing spray tips. If the spray tip
clogs while spraying, engage the gun
safety latch immediately. ALWAYS
follow the PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
and then remove the spray tip to clean
it.
• NEVER wipe off build up around the
spray tip.
TOXIC FLUID HAZARD
• ALWAYS remove tip guard & tip to
clean AFTER pump is turned off and
the pressure is relieved by following the
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE.
• Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can
cause serious injury or death if splashed
in eyes or on skin, inhaled or swallowed.
Know the hazards of the fluid you are
using. Store & dispose of hazardous uid
according to manufacturer, local, state
& national guidelines.
• ALWAYS wear protective eyewear,
gloves, clothing and respirator as
recommended by uid manufacturer.
TIP GUARD
• ALWAYS have the tip guard in place
on the spray gun while spraying. The tip
guard alerts you to the injection hazard
HOSES
• Tighten all of the fluid connections
securely before each use. High pressure
fluid can dislodge a loose coupling or
7
allow high pressure spray to be emitted
from the coupling and result in an
injection injury or serious bodily injury.
• Only use hoses with a spring guard. The
spring guard helps protect the hose
from kinks or other damage which
could result in hose rupture and cause
an injection injury. Do not allow kinking
or crushing of hoses or allow it to vibrate
against rough, sharp or hot surfaces.
• Use only conductive fluid hoses
for airless applications. Be sure the
gun is grounded through the hose
connections. Use only high pressure
airless hoses with static wire which are
approved for 3000 psi.
• NEVER use a damaged hose, which
can result in hose failure or rupture and
cause an injection injury or other serious
bodily injury or property damage.
Before each use, check entire hose
for cuts, leaks, abrasions, bulging of
the cover, or damage or movement
of couplings. If any of these conditions
exist, replace the hose immediately.
• NEVER use tape or any device to try to
mend the hose as it cannot contain
the high pressure fluid. NEVER ATTEMPT
TO RECOUPLE THE HOSE. A high pressure
hose is not possible to recouple.
GROUNDING
• Ground the sprayer & other
components in the system to reduce
the risk of static sparking, fire or
explosion which can result in serious
bodily injury and property damage. For
detailed instructions on how to ground,
check your local electrical code.
• ALWAYS ensure switch is in OFF position
before plugging unit in.
Always Ground All of These Components:
1. Sprayer: plug the power supply cord, or
extension cord, each equipped with an
undamaged three-prong plug, into a
properly grounded outlet. DO NOT USE
AN ADAPTER. Use only a 3 wire extension
cord that has a grounding plug, and
a receptacle that will accept the
grounding 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. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge.
2. Fluid hose: use only grounded hoses.
3. Spray gun or dispensing valve:
grounding is obtained through
connection to a properly grounded
uid hose and pump.
4. All solvent pails must be conductive
metal material and properly grounded.
Do not place on a non conductive
insulating surface unless a ground wire
is added to a true earth such as a metal
water pipe.
ALWAYS ensure re extinguishing equipment
is readily available and properly
maintained.
8
FLUSHING SAFETY
WHEN SPRAYING & CLEANING WITH
FLAMMABLE PAINTS AND THINNERS
1. When spraying with flammable liquids,
the unit must be located a minimum of
25 feet away from the spraying area in
a well ventilated area. Ventilation must
be sufficient enough to prevent the
accumulation of vapors.
2. To eliminate electrostatic discharge,
ground the spray unit, paint bucket
& spraying object. See GROUNDING.
Use only high pressure airless hoses
approved for 3000 psi which is
conductive.
3. Remove the spray tip before flushing.
Hold the metal part of the gun rmly to
the side of a metal pail & use the lowest
possible uid pressure during ushing.
4. Never use high pressure in the cleaning
process. USE MINIMUM PRESSURE.
5. Do not smoke in spraying/cleaning
area.
• NEVER use cleaning solvents with flash
points below 140 degrees F. Some of
these are: acetone, benzene, ether,
gasoline, naptha. Consult your supplier
to be sure.
