NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury which can lead to
possible amputation. 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.
WARNING: HAZARDOUS VAPORS
Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other materials can
be harmful if inhaled or come in contact with the body.

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 exing your wrist.

Keep stroke
even
Approximately
10 to 12 inches
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 unit on and set the pressure to minimum by turning
the pressure control knob to the “MIN PSI” setting in the
yellow zone.
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 stien
as paint begins to ow 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 ne spray.
Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable
solvents:
• Always ush spray gun preferably outside and at least one
hose length from spray pump.
• If collecting ushed solvents in a one gallon metal container,
place it into an empty ve gallon container, then ush solvents.
• Area must be free of ammable vapors.
• Follow all cleanup instructions.
IMPORTANT: 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.
Cleaning the Spray Tip
1. Flush the gun with solvent immediately after the work is
completed.
2. Oil the sliding pins to prevent them
from seizing up.
Should the spray tip become clogged, reverse
the spray tip with the lever and pull the trigger.
Once the obstruction comes out of the spray
tip, release the trigger, reverse the spray tip
back to the spray pattern setting, and resume
spraying.
Do not attempt to clean the tip with your finger.
Do not use a needle or other sharp pointed instrument
to clean the tip. The hard tungsten carbide is brittle
and can be chipped.
Always spray at minimum pressure with the gun
nozzle tip removed when using mineral spirits or any
other solvent to clean the sprayer, hose, or gun. Static
electricity buildup may result in a fire or explosion in
the presence of flammable vapors.
1. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” found in the Operation
section of this manual.
2. Remove the gun tip and tip guard and clean with a brush
using the appropriate solvent.
3. Place the siphon tube into a container of the appropriate
solvent (refer to recommendations of the material
manufacturer). An example of the appropriate solvent is
water for latex paint.
4. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
5. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve down to the
