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

skin and underlying tissues, leading to serious
injury and possible amputation. See a
physician immediately.
• NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.
• NEVER allow any part of the body to touch the fluid stream.
DO NOT allow body to touch a leak in the fluid hose.
• NEVER put hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not
provide protection against an injection injury.
• ALWAYS lock gun trigger, shut pump off, and release all
pressure before servicing, cleaning tip or guard, changing
tip, or leaving unattended. Pressure will not be released
by turning off the motor. The PRIME/SPRAY valve handle
must be turned to PRIME to relieve the pressure. Refer to
the PRESSURE RELIEF PRESSURE described in the
pump manual.
• ALWAYS keep tip guard in place while spraying. The tip
guard provides some protection but is mainly a warning
device.
• ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning
the system.
• Paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and
abuse. A leak can inject material into the skin. Inspect
the hose before each use.
• NEVER use a spray gun without a working trigger lock
and trigger guard in place.
• All accessories must be rated at or above the maximum
operating pressure range of the airless sprayer. This
includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury. It is
important to treat the injury as soon as possible. DO
NOT delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a
concern with some coatings injected directly into the
blood stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or
reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.

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.
DANGER — 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.
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
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
A 12 gauge cord is recommended. If an extension cord is
to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix WA after the cord type designation. For example, a
designation of SJTW-A would indicate that the cord would
be appropriate for outdoor use.

Operation
Always use a minimum 12 gauge, three-wire extension
cord with a grounded plug. Never remove the third prong
or use an adapter.
Preparing a New Sprayer
If this sprayer is new, it is shipped with test fluid in the fluid
section to prevent corrosion during shipment and storage.
This fluid must be cleaned out of the system thoroughly with
mineral spirits before spraying paint.
Always keep the trigger lock on the spray gun in the
locked position while preparing the system.
Place the siphon tube into a container of mineral spirits.

This equipment produces a fluid stream at extremely high
pressure. Read and understand the warnings in the
Safety Precautions section at the front of this manual
before operating this equipment.
Setup
Perform the following procedure before plugging in the power
cord of an electric sprayer.

solid coating, remove the gun filter and high

Spraying Technique
The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the entire
surface. This is done by using even strokes. Keep your arm
moving at a constant speed and keep the spray gun at a
constant distance from the surface. The best spraying
distance is 10 to 12 inches between the spray tip and the
surface.
Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This means
moving your entire arm back and forth rather than just flexing
your wrist.
Overlap each stroke by about 30%. This will ensure an even
coating.
When you stop painting, lock the gun trigger lock, turn the
pressure control knob counterclockwise to its lowest setting
and set the PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME. Turn the ON/OFF
switch to the OFF position and unplug the sprayer.
Practice
1. Be sure that the paint hose is free of kinks and clear of
objects with sharp cutting edges.
2. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to its to
its lowest setting.
3. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve up to the
SPRAY position.
4. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise to
its highest setting. The paint hose should
stiffen as paint begins to flow through it.
5. Unlock the gun trigger lock.
6. Trigger the spray gun to bleed air out of the hose.
7. When paint reaches the spray tip, spray a test area to
check the spray pattern.
8. Use the lowest pressure
setting necessary to get a
good spray pattern. If the
pressure is set too high, the
spray pattern will be too light.
If the pressure is set too low,
tailing will appear or the paint
will spatter out in gobs rather
than in a fine spray.
Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise
one end of the pattern will be thicker than the other.
The spray gun should be triggered by turning it on and off with
each stroke. This will save paint and avoid paint buildup at the
end of the stroke. Do not trigger the gun during the middle of
a stroke. This will result in an uneven spray and splotchy
coverage.
Cleanup
Do not use gasoline to clean the sprayer.
Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable
solvents:
• Always flush spray gun preferably outside and at least one
hose length from spray pump.
•
If collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal
container, place it into an empty five gallon container, then
flush solvents.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Follow all cleanup instructions.
The sprayer, hose, and gun should be cleaned thoroughly
after daily use. Failure to do so permits material to build
up, seriously affecting the performance of the unit.
Always spray at minimum pressure with the gun nozzle tip

Maintenance
Before proceeding, follow the Pressure Relief Procedure
outlined previously in this manual. Additionally, follow all
other warnings to reduce the risk of an injection injury,
injury from moving parts or electric shock. Always unplug
the sprayer before servicing!
General Repair and Service Notes
1. Before repairing any part of the sprayer, read the
instructions carefully, including all warnings.
Never pull on a wire to disconnect it. Pulling on a wire
could loosen the connector from the wire.
2. Test your repair before regular operation of the sprayer to be
sure that the problem is corrected. If the sprayer does not
operate properly
everything was done correctly. Refer to the Troubleshooting
section to help identify other possible problems.
3. Make sure that the service area is well ventilated in case
solvents are used during cleaning. Always wear
protective eyewear while servicing. Additional protective
equipment may be required depending on the type of
cleaning solvent. Always contact the supplier of solvents
for recommendations.
