1. In order to avoid dangers, read the operating instructions
carefully and follow the instructions laid down in them.
2.
Do not use materials with a flash point below 21ºC (70ºF).
3. The use of this unit is prohibited in workshops which are
covered under the explosion prevention regulations.
4. Never spray near sources of ignition; e.g. open flames,
cigarettes — also cigars and pipes are sources of ignition
— sparks, hot wires and hot surfaces, etc.
5. Attention! Danger of injury by injection!
Never point the spray gun at yourself or anyone else.
Never put your fingers or hands into the spray jet. The
very high spraying pressures can cause very serious
injuries. Never use the spray gun without the safety guard.

be given special attention.
• Never put your fingers, hands or any other parts of the
body into the spray jet.
Never point the spray gun at yourself or anybody else.
•
• Never use the spray gun without the safety guard.
When installing and removing the tip and during breaks in
work the spray gun must always be secured, so that it
cannot be activated.
6. Wear respiratory equipment when spraying. The operator
must be provided with a protective mask.
In order to prevent work related illness, the manufacturer's
regulations for the materials, solvents, and cleaning
agents used must be observed when preparing, working
with and cleaning the unit. Protective clothing, gloves and,
in certain cases, protective skin cream are necessary to
protect the skin.
7. The spray gun and high pressure hose between the unit
and spray gun must be of a sufficient standard for the
pressure produced in the unit.
The permissible operating pressure for the high-pressure
hose, the manufacturer and date of manufacture must be
indicated by a permanent identification marking on the
hose. Furthermore, it must be constructed so that the
electrical resistance between the connections to the unit
and the spray gun is equal to or less than one megohm.
8. Under certain conditions the flow speed can cause an
electrostatic charge on the unit. This could cause sparks
or flames on discharging. It is, therefore, important that
the unit is always earthed over the electrical installation.
The contact should be made using a shockproof socket
earthed in accordance with the regulations.
9. Attention! Please observe the following when working
inside and outside:
No solvent gasses should be carried to the unit. No
solvent gasses should form near the unit. Set up the unit
on the opposite side to the object being sprayed. When
spraying outdoors, take the wind direction into account.
When working indoors there must be sufficient ventilation
to ensure that the solvent gasses are carried away. A
minimum distance of 6.1m (20’) must be observed
between the unit and object being sprayed.
10. Extraction equipment should be installed by the user in
accordance with the local regulations.
11. The objects being sprayed must be earthed.
12. When cleaning the unit, solvent should never be sprayed
into a container with only a small opening (bunghole). An
explosive gas/air mixture is likely to form. The container
must be earthed.
13. Cleaning the unit.
A harsh jet should never be used to spray the unit. In
particular a high-pressure cleaner or high-pressure steam
cleaner should never be used. There is a danger that
water will penetrate into the unit and cause a short-circuit.
14. Pulling the trigger causes a recoil force to the hand that is
holding the spray gun.
The recoil force of the spray gun is particularly powerful
when the tip has been removed and a high pressure has
been set on the airless high-pressure pump. Therefore,
when cleaning without tip set the pressure control valve to
the lowest pressure.
15. The mains plug should always be disconnected from the
socket when work is being carried out on the electrical
components.
16. Work or repairs should only be carried out on electrical
equipment by a trained electrician, even if the work is
described in the operating instructions. No liability will be
accepted for incorrectly installed electrics.
17. Positioning when the ground is uneven.
The front of the unit must point downward so that the
machine does not slip away.

Spraying Technique
The following techniques, if followed, will assure professional
painting results.
Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface and always at equal
distance from the surface. Depending on the type of material,
surface, or desired spray pattern, the gun should be held at a
distance of 30 to 35 cm (12 to 14 inches).
Move the gun either across or up and down the surface at a
steady rate. Moving the gun at a consistent speed conserves
material and provides even coverage. The correct spraying speed
allows a full, wet coat of paint to be applied without runs or sags.
Holding the gun closer to the surface deposits more paint on
the surface and produces a narrower spray pattern. Holding
the gun farther from the surface produces a thinner coat and
wider spray pattern. If runs, sags, or excessive paint occur,
change to a spray tip with a smaller orifice. If there is an
insufficient amount of paint on the surface or you desire to
spray faster, a larger orifice tip should be selected.
Maintain uniform spray stroke action. Spray alternately from
left to right and right to left. Begin movement of the gun before
the trigger is pulled.
Avoid arcing or holding the gun at an angle. This will result in
an uneven finish.
Proper lapping (overlap of spray pattern) is essential to an
even finish. Lap each stroke. If you are spraying horizontally,
aim at the bottom edge of the preceding stroke, so as to lap
the previous pattern by 50%.
For corners and edges, split the
center of the spray pattern on the
corner or edge and spray
vertically so that both adjoining
sections receive approximately
even amounts of paint.
When spraying with a shield, hold it firmly against the surface.
Angle the spray gun slightly away from the shield and toward
the surface. This will prevent paint from being forced
underneath.
Shrubs next to houses should be tied back and covered with a
canvas cloth. The cloth should be removed as soon as possible.
gun extensions are extremely helpful in these situations.
Nearby objects such as automobiles, outdoor furniture, etc.
should be moved or covered whenever in the vicinity of a
spray job. Be careful of any other surrounding objects that
could be damaged by overspray.
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. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve up to its 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.

solvents:
• Always flush spray gun preferably outside and at least one
hose length from spray pump.

Cleaning the Spray Tip
1. Flush the gun with solvent immediately after the work is
completed.
2. Oil the retractor 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.
Ground the gun by holding it against the
edge of the metal container while
