Safety Precautions
HAZARD: Injection injury - A high pressure stream
DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION INJURY AS A SIMPLE CUT!
Injection can lead to amputation. See a physician
immediately.
The maximum operating range of the gun is 3600 PSI / 24.8
MPa fluid pressure.
PREVENTION:
• NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.
• NEVER allow any part of the body to touch the fluid stream.
• NEVER put hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not
• ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the pump off, and release all
• ALWAYS keep the tip guard in place while spraying. The tip
• ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning
• The paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and
• NEVER use a spray gun without a trigger lock and trigger
• All accessories must be rated at or above the maximum
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:
Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury. 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.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE - Solvent and paint fumes
PREVENTION:
• Provide extensive exhaust and fresh air introduction to
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity sparks,
• Do not smoke in spray area.
• Fire extinguisher must be present and in good working order.
• Place pump at least 25 feet (7.6 m) from the spray object in

• Use only conductive or grounded high pressure fluid hose.
Gun must be grounded through hose connections.
• Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.
• Always flush unit into a separate metal container, at low
pump pressure, with spray tip removed. Hold gun firmly
against side of container to ground container and prevent
static sparks.
• Follow the material and solvent manufacturer's warnings and
instructions.
• Use extreme caution when using materials with a flashpoint
below 70° F (21° C). Flashpoint is the temperature that a
fluid can produce enough vapors to ignite.
• Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to
enclose a spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when
spraying flammable materials.
• Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE
MATERIALS - will cause severe injury or property
damage.
PREVENTION:
• Do not use materials containing bleach or chlorine.
• Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as
bleach, mildewcide, methylene chloride and 1,1,1 trichloroethane. They are not compatible with aluminum.
• 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: GENERAL - 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 pump
manufacturer.
• 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 paint hose. Replace it with
another grounded high-pressure hose.
• All hoses, swivels, guns, and accessories must be pressure
rated at or above the maximum operating pressure range of
the airless sprayer.
• Do not spray outdoors on windy days.
• Wear clothing to keep paint of skin and hair.

WARNING
Never attempt to assemble, change, or clean the gun, tip, or
tip guard without first relieving pressure from the spray
system. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” in the
sprayer’s Owner’s Manual.
Always use a tip safety guard for added
protection against injection. Beware that
the guard alone will not prevent injection.
Never cut off tip guard! Always engage gun
trigger lock when the gun is not in use.
Before servicing equipment, consult
Owner’s Manuals and follow all warnings.
1. Set up the sprayer. Refer to the
instructions in the sprayer’s Owner’s Manual.
2. Attach a conductive or grounded, airless spray hose to the
material inlet on the gun. Using two wrenches (one on the
gun and one on the hose), tighten securely.
With the tip and tip guard off the gun, start the sprayer.
3.
Flush and prepare the spray system according to the
sprayer
make sure that all fittings are secure and that there are no
leaks.
4. Perform the “Pressure Relief Procedure” described in the
sprayer’s Owner’s Manual.
5. Using the tip handle, insert
the tip seal retainer and tip
seal into the back of the tip
guard. Press in for final
adjustment.
6. Insert the tip into the slot on
the tip guard.
7. Thread the tip guard onto the
gun. Position the tip guard in
the desired spraying position
and tighten securely.
NOTE: The arrow on the tip handle should be pointing in
’s Owner’s Manual. Inspect the spray system to
the forward direction for spraying.
Operation
Make sure the arrow on the tip handle is pointing in the

a larger tip instead of increasing fluid pressure.

1. Perform the “Pressure Relief Procedure” described in the

2. Remove the tip from the slot on the tip guard.
3. Insert the new tip into the slot on the tip guard. The arrow
on the tip handle should be pointing in the forward direction
for spraying.
Removing the Tip Seal and Tip Seal Retainer
1. Remove the tip from the tip
guard.
2. Insert the tip handle through
the front of the tip guard.
3. Push the tip seal and tip seal
retainer out through the back of
the tip guard.
Identifying Tip Sizes
To identify tip sizes, use the
following formula. A “517” tip size
will be used in this example.
The first digit multiplied by two represents the size of the spray
pattern when spraying 12” away from the work surface:
5 x 2 = 10” spray pattern
The second two digits represent the diameter of the orifice on the
tip:
17 = .017” orifice
NOTE: Worn spray tips will adversely affect the spray
pattern and result in reduced production, poor
finish, and wasted material. Replace worn tips
immediately.
Cleanup
Maintaining a clean gun is important to ensure trouble-free
operation. Flush the gun after each use and store in a dry
location. Do not leave the gun or any of its parts in water or
solvents.
Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable
solvents:
Always flush spray gun preferably outside and at least one
•
hose length from spray pump.
• If collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal container,
place it into an empty five gallon container, then flush
solvents.
Area must be free of flammable vapors.
•
Follow all cleanup instructions.
•
The sprayer, hose, and gun should be cleaned thoroughly
after daily use. Failure to do so permits material to cake,
seriously affecting the performance of the unit.
Never pull the trigger more than once at time with the tip in
the reverse position.
c. Continue this procedure until the tip is clear of the clog.
Always spray at minimum pressure with the
tip and tip guard 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. Hold the
gun firmly against a metal container while flushing.
