Important Electrical Information
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. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line
voltage resulting in loss of power, overheating and possible damage.
This unit is equipped with a 14 gauge power cord, therefore a 14 gauge or 12
gauge extension cord is required. Do not use more than 100 feet of extension
cord.
If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the sux
W-A after the cord type designation. For example, a designation of SJTW-A
would indicate that the cord would be appropriate for outdoor use.

Notice:
to Paint
Spraying
Introduction
Function description
The paint spraying system consists of a hand-held, motor-operated
turbine, which provides the spray gun with atomization air
In the spray gun, part of the air from the turbine is used to pressurize
the container. This pressure causes the coating material to be fed
through the suction tube to the uid nozzle where it is then atomized
as it exits the uid nozzle.
All settings necessary for operation (e.g. material volume, air volume)
can be conveniently adjusted directly on the gun, including start/stop
of the turbine by activating the trigger.
Coating material
Coating Materials Suitable for Use
Water-based and solvent based coatings.
Review this page to familiarize yourself with
some general information regarding FLEXSPRAY
paint spraying, including which spray materials
are suitable for use, and how to prepare the
spray material.
Coating Materials Not Suitable for Use
Materials that contain highly abrasive components, caustic solutions
and acidic coating substances. Use extreme caution when using
materials with a ashpoint below 100° F (38°C).
Preparing the coating material
Note: Observe the manufacturer’s instructions for the use of the
coating material on the material container or on the technical data
sheet.
Coating material purity
An absolute pre-condition for the trouble-free operation of the
FLEXSPRAY system is that the coating material is uncontaminated.
If you have doubts as to the purity of the coating material, we
recommend that you rst lter your coating material with a paint
strainer.
