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 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:
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 38ºC (100º F) — Do not spray or clean with
liquids having a ash point of less than 38ºC
(100º 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

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 outdoor use ONLY with materials having
ashpoint above 100ºF (38ºC).
Household use only. Intended

(38°C). Follow the instructions below.
To Prepare the Material:
1. Stir the spraying material thoroughly.
2. Dip the viscosity test cup completely into the
spraying material.
3. Hold the test cup up and measure the time in
seconds until the liquid empties out. This time is
referred to below as Runout Time.
4. Unscrew the cup from the nozzle.
5. After the material has been properly thinned and
strained, ll the container to desired level.
