Important Safety Information

Grounded Outlet

Grounding Pin

Cover for grounded outlet box

Read all safety information before operating the equipment. Save these instructions.

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

To reduce the risks of re or explosion, electrical shock and the injury to persons, read and understand all instructions included in this manual. Be familiar with the controls and proper usage of the equipment.

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 qualied 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 qualied 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 conguration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of re or explosion:

1. Do not spray ammable or combustible materials near an open ame, pilot lights or sources of ignition such as hot objects, cigarettes, motors, electrical equipment and electrical appliances. Avoid creating sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords.

2. For use with only water-based or mineral spirit-type materials with a minimum ash point of 21ºC (70º F) — Do not spray or clean with liquids having a ash point of less than 21ºC (70º F). 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.

6. Do not smoke in the spray area.

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.

English

Important Safety Information

WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury:

1. Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection, clothing and a respirator or mask when painting. Hazardous vapors – Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other materials can be harmful if inhaled or come in contact with body. Vapors can cause severe nausea, fainting or poisoning.

2. Do not operate or spray near children. Keep children away from equipment at all times.

3. Do not overreach or stand on an unstable support. Keep eective footing and balance at all times.

4. Stay alert and watch what you are doing.

5. Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the inuence of drugs or alcohol.

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

7. Follow all appropriate local, state, and national codes governing ventilation, re prevention, and operation.

8. 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.

9. Use only manufacturer authorized parts. User assumes all risks and liabilities when using parts that do not meet the minimum specications and safety devices of the turbine manufacturer.

10. Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.

11. Do not spray outdoors on windy days.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of electric shock:

1. Always remove turbine before cleaning.

2. Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.

3. Never submerge electrical parts.

4. Never expose the equipment to rain. Store indoors.

5. Keep electrical cord plug and spray gun trigger free from paint and other liquids. Never hold the cord at plug connections to support the cord. Failure to observe may result in an electrical shock.

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 sux 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 70ºF (21ºC).

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. Optimal spray performance should be acheived simply by adjusting the various controls on the unit.

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.

Note: Model 590 only. Use the included paper funnels in order to more easily fill the cup.

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 ow settings for your specic material needs.

If thinning is necessary, use the proper solvent as specied by the material manufacturer. Never exceed the thinning advice given by the coating manufacturer.

FLEXiO model 590 sprayers come with a thinning accessory that can be used to accurately thin spray material. Refer to the included instruction sheet.

Do not thin with materials that have a ashpoint below 70°F (21°C). The material ashpoint should be shown on the material container.

Assembly

Before you begin:

NEVER point the spray gun at any part of the body.

To Assemble:

IMPORTANT: Make sure the power cord is unplugged.

1. Insert the suction tube into the intake opening.

2. Align the suction tube -

a. If you are going to be spraying in a downward

direction, the angled end of the suction tube should be pointing toward the front of the gun.

b. If you are going to be spraying in an upward

direction, the angled end of the suction tube should be pointing toward the rear of the gun.

Note: Make sure the suction tube is inserted as far as it will go to ensure a tight t.

IMPORTANT: Never tip the sprayer at more than a 45° angle. Material could get into the turbine and damage the sprayer.

3. Carefully screw the cup back onto the nozzle assembly. Tighten rmly.

4. Align the arrow on the nozzle with the “unlock” symbol on the turbine.

5. Insert and twist the nozzle into the turbine toward the “lock” symbol on the turbine.

The tab below the trigger will lock the two pieces into

place.
