Grounding Instructions
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.
WARNING - 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 at 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 qualied 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 t the outlet, have
the proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt
circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated below. Make sure that the
product is connected to an outlet having the same
conguration as the plug. No adapter should be
used with this product.
WARNING - To reduce the risk
of re or explosion:

spirit-type materials with a minimum ash point
of 100º F (38ºC) — Do not spray or clean with
liquids having a ash point of less than 100º F
(38ºC). Flash point is the temperature at which
a uid can produce enough vapor to ignite.
3. Verify that all containers and collection systems
are grounded to prevent static discharge.
4. Connect to a grounded outlet and use
grounded extension cords (electric models
only). Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.
5. Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good
supply of fresh air moving through the area
to keep the air within the spray area free from
accumulation of ammable vapors. Keep
turbine assembly in well ventilated area. Do not
spray turbine assembly.

7. Do not operate light switches, engines, or
similar spark producing products in the spray
area.
8. Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent
containers, rags, and other ammable materials.
9. Know the contents of the paint and solvents
being sprayed. Read all Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS) and container labels provided
with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint
and solvent manufacture’s safety instructions.
10. Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present
and working.
1. Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection,
clothing and a respirator or mask when

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 and overheating. A 14
gauge or 12 gauge cord is recommended. If an
extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be
marked with the sux 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.
IMPORTANT:
for indoor/outdoor use ONLY with materials
having ashpoint above 100ºF (38ºC).
Household use only. Intended

Material Preparation
Note: Material to be sprayed may need to be strained
to remove any impurities in the paint which may enter
and clog the system. Impurities in the paint will give
poor performance and a poor finish.
Note: Only thin the material if absolutely necessary to
improve spray performance (or if advised by coating
manufactuer). Optimal spray performance should be
acheived simply by adjusting the various controls on
the unit.
Thinning the material:
For certain spraying situations or desired nishes,
thinning the material may be desired. It is not necessary
for most materials when used with the iSpray nozzle.
For use with the Detail Finish nozzle thinning may be
needed to acheive a ner nish. Make sure you adjust
the X-Boost™ and Material Flow settings for your specic
material needs.
If thinning is necessary, use the proper solvent as
specied by the material manufacturer. Never exceed the
thinning advice given by the coating manufacturer.
Do not thin with materials that have
a ashpoint below 100°F (38°C). The
material ashpoint should be shown on
the material container.
To Prepare the Material:
1. Stir the spraying material thoroughly.
2. Unscrew the cup from the nozzle.
3. After the material has been properly thinned and
strained, ll the container to desired level. Do not
attach the container to the nozzle yet.
