• Contact your coating supplier about the compatibility of material with aluminum.

HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS - Paints, solvents,

insecticides, and other materials can be harmful if inhaled or come in contact with the body. Vapors can cause severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.

PREVENTION:

• Use a respirator or mask if vapors can be inhaled. Read all instructions supplied with the mask to be sure it will provide the necessary protection.

• Wear protective eyewear.

• Wear protective clothing as required by coating manufacturer.

HAZARD: SKIN BURN INJURY— Heated parts can cause

severe skin burn injury.

PREVENTION:

• Quick-disconnect fittings on the hose and the spray gun become hot during use. Avoid skin contact with any quick-disconnect fittings when they are hot. Allow the quick disconnect fittings to cool before disconnecting the spray gun from the hose

• The compressor becomes hot during use. Allow the compressor to cool before touching it.

HAZARD: GENERAL - This product can cause severe

injury or property damage.

PREVENTION:

• Read all instructions and safety precautions before operating equipment.

• Always disconnect the motor from the power supply before working on the equipment.

• Follow all appropriate local, state, and national codes governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.

• The United States Government Safety Standards have been adopted under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). These standards, particularly part 1910 of the General Standards and part 1926 of the Construction Standards should be consulted.

• Use only manufacturer authorized parts. User assumes all risks and liabilities when using parts that do not meet the minimum specifications and safety devices of the manufacturer.

• Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.

• Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion or bulging of cover. Check for damage or movement of couplings. Immediately replace the hose if any of these conditions exist. Never repair a hose. Replace it with an identical replacement hose.

• Do not spray outdoors on windy days.

• Wear clothing to keep paint off skin and hair.

• Never aim spray gun at any part of the body.

HAZARD: EXPLOSION — Compressed air has great force

and may cause injury.

PREVENTION:

• The maximum operating range of the unit is 125 PSI air pressure.

• The pressure pot assembly is protected from overpressurizing by a safety valve. Pull the ring on the safety valve occasionally to make sure that the valve operates freely. The valve must be replaced if it does not operate freely or if it does not release air when the ring is pulled.

• Never modify the pressure pot or the compressor.

• All accessories must be rated at or above 125 PSI. This includes spray tips, guns, extensions, hoses, and other tools.

This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER — Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having a green outer surface with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire and must be connected to the grounding pin.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in the figure below may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet as shown below can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug, or the grounding wire extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

Introduction

The ProFinish C-100 HVLP spray system is designed for use as a large capacity, fine finish spray painting tool. Components of the spray system include a compressor, a cart, a compressor air outlet, a pressure switch, a pressure pot, a pressure pot air inlet, and a pressure pot material outlet.

CAUTION

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. For lengths less than 25 feet, No. 16 AWG extension cords should be used. Between 25 feet and 50 feet, the minimum gauge is 12 AWG. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix WA after the cord type designation. For example, a designation of SJTW-A would indicate that the cord would be appropriate for outdoor use.
