WARNING

read and understand these instructions before performing any of these tasks.

Read THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL Carefully and understand ALL
INFORMATION Before Operating THIS Tool. KEEP FOR FUTURE USE.

Always operate, inspect and maintain this spray gun in
accordance with American National Standards Institute Safety
Code of Portable Air Tools (ANSI B186.1) and any other applicable
safety codes and regulations.

During use and while cleaning and flushing spray gun solvents
can be expelled. Some solvents can cause eye injury. Always
wear eye protection.

Be sure all in the area are wearing impact-resistant eye and
face protection.

Even small projectiles can injure eyes and cause blindness.
High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. Protect

yourself from noise. Noise levels vary with work sur face. Wear
ear pro tec tion.

Repetitive work motions, awkward positions and exposure to
vibration can be harmful to hands and arms.

Air under pressure can cause severe injury. Al ways shut off air
supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect tool from air
supply when not in use, before changing accessories or when
making repairs. Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.
Whipping hoses can cause serious injury. Al ways check for
damaged or loose hoses and fittings. Never use quick change
couplings at tool. They add weight and could fail due to vibration.
Instead, add a whip hose and connect coupling between air
supply and whip hose, or between whip hose and leader hose.
Do not exceed maximum air inlet pressure of 43 PSI.

Always use spray gun at a safe distance from other people in
work area.

Maintain spray gun with care. Keep tools clean and oiled for
best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating
and chang ing accessories. Wiping or cleaning rags and other
flammable waste materials must be placed in a tightly closed
metal container and disposed of later in the proper fashion.

Do not wear loose or ill-fitting clothing; remove watches and rings.
Do not over reach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

Slipping, tripping and falling can be a major cause of serious
injury or death. Be aware of excess hose left on the walking or
work surface.

Do not abuse hoses or connectors. Never carry spray gun by the
hose or yank hose to disconnect from air supply. Keep hoses from
heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for weak or worn condition
before each use, making certain that all connections are secure.

When possible, secure work with clamps or vise so both hands
are free to operate tool.

Solvent and paint coatings can be highly flammable when
sprayed. Adequate ventilation exhaust must be provided to keep
air free of accumulations of flammable materials. Smoking must
never be allowed in the spray area. Fire extinguishing equipment
must be present in the paint spray area.

Certain painting solvent materials may be harmful if inhaled, or if
there is contact with the skin. Always follow the requirements of
the Material Safety Data Sheet supplied by your coating material
manufacturer. Adequate exhaust ventilation must be provided to
keep the air free of accumulations of toxic materials. Always use a
mask or respirator whenever there is a chance of inhaling sprayed
materials. The mask must be compatible with the material being
sprayed and its concentration. Respirator equipment must be
NIOSH approved.

Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents - for example: methylene
chloride and 1,1,1,-Trichlorethene are not chemically compatible
with the aluminum that might be used in spray gun components.
The chemical reaction caused by these solvents reacting with
aluminum can become violent and lead to an equipment
explosion. Guns with stainless steel internal passageways may
be used with these solvents. However, aluminum is widely used
in other spray application equipment. Check all equipment items
before use and make sure they can also be used safely with these
solvents. Read the label or data sheet for the material you intend
to spray. If in doubt as to whether or not a coating or cleaning
material is compatible, contact your material supplier.

Spray gun operators should be given adequate training in the
safe use and maintenance of the equipment. Users must comply
with all local and national codes of practice and insurance
company requirements governing ventilation, fire precautions,
operation, maintenance, and housekeeping. These are OSHA
Sections 1910.94 and 1910.107 and NFPA-33.

Use of spray guns may cause cumulative trauma disorders
(CTD's). CTD's, when using spray guns, tend to affect the upper
extremities. Factors which may increase the risk of developing a
CTD include:

1. High frequency of the activity.

2. Excessive force, such as gripping, pinching, or pressing
with the hands and fingers.

3. Extreme or awkward finger, wrist, or arm positions.

4. Excessive duration of the activity.

5. Vibration.

6. Repeated pressure on a body part.

7. Working in cold temperatures.

CTD's can also be caused by sports activities. Pain, tingling, or
numbness in the shoulder, forearm, wrist, hands, or fingers,
especially during the night, may be early symptoms of a CTD.
Do not ignore them. Should you experience any such symptoms,
see a physician immediately. Other early symptoms may include
vague discomfort in the hand, loss of manual dexterity, and
nonspecific pain in the arm. Ignoring early symptoms and
continued repetitive use of
to a serious disability.

the arm, wrist, and hand can lead

WARNING

(

CONTINUED

)

To reduce the risk of injury, anyone using, repairing, maintaining, or changing accessories on this tool must
read and understand these instructions before performing any of these tasks.

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling
and other construction activities contains chemicals known to
the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

- Lead from lead based paints

- Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other
masonry products

- Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often
you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Handling the brass parts of this product will expose you to lead, a
chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects
and other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

IMPORTANT PRECAUTION INFORMATION ­READ BEFORE USING THIS SPRAY GUN:

SPRAY GUN DESCRIPTION

The 9002B Rev. A is a light weight, anodized aluminum, general
purpose gravity feed spray gun designed for use in various types
of spraying applications. The 9002B Rev. A can handle water
based and solvent based spraying applications.
IMPORTANT: This spray gun may be used with most common
coating and finishing materials. It is designed for use with mildly
corrosive and non-abrasive materials. If used with other high
corrosive or abrasive materials, it must be expected that frequent
and thorough cleaning will be required and the necessity for
replacement of parts will be increased..
For maximum transfer efficiency, do not use more pressure than
is necessary to atomize the material being applied.
Connect the gun to a clean, moisture and oil free air supply using
a hose size of at least 5/16" I.D. hose. Do not use 1/4" I.D. hose.
(25' x 1/4" hose at 18 cfm has a pressure loss of 25 psi. 25' x
5/16" hose at 18 cfm has a pressure loss of 8 psi.)

from the compressor, farther if possible.

Never mount oil and water extractor on or near the air com pres sor.

During compression, air temperature is greatly increased. As the air cools down to room tem per a ture, moisture condenses in the air line, on
its way to the spray gun. Therefore, always mount the oil and water extractor at a point in the air supply system where the compressed air
temperature is lowest.

Drain air lines properly.

Pitch all air lines back towards the com pres sor so that con densed mois ture will flow back into the air receiver where it can be drained off.
Each low point in an air line acts as a water trap. Such points should be fitted with an easily accessible drain. See diagram above.
