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 sux 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.
