operating the equipment. Save these
instructions
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
a) 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 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.
b) 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. Do not use a paint or solvent containing halogenated
hydrocarbons. Such as chlorine, bleach mildewcide,
methylene chloride and trichloroethane. They are not
compatible with aluminum. Contact the coating supplier
about compatibility of material with aluminum.
6. 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
pump assembly in well ventilated area. Do not spray pump
assembly.
7. Do not smoke in the spray area.
8. Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark
producing products in the spray area.
9. Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags,
and other ammable materials.
10. 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.
11. Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
c) WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury:

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 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.
Wagner Spray Tech accessory extension cords recommended:
P/N 0090241 20 foot extension cord
P/N 0090242 35 foot extension cord
IMPORTANT:
use ONLY with materials having ashpoint above 70ºF (21ºC).

Material Preparation
Start
Before spraying, the material being used may
need to be thinned with the proper solvent as
specied by the material manufacturer. Never
exceed the thinning advice given by the coating
manufacturer.
Note: Material to be sprayed should always 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.
Thinning the material:
Do not thin with materials that have
a ashpoint below 70°F (21°C). The
material ashpoint should be shown
on the material container.

Start
Spray performance will depend upon a number of factors:
material thickness, spray pattern selected, and material
volume. With any type of air-assisted spraying, desired spray
results will be achieved through some trial and error while
adjusting some or all of these variables.
Review these pages to learn about the spray controls and how
they can be used to acheive the desired spray results.
Notice:
Controls
Material Volume Adjustment
The material ow adjustment controls the amount of spray
material that is sprayed from the spray gun.
• For thicker materials, it is recommended that you
start with the highest material ow setting and then
gradually decrease the ow to suit your particular
spraying needs.
• For thinner materials, it is recommended that you start
with a low material ow setting, and then gradually
increase the ow to suit your particular spraying
needs.
• The higher the ow setting, the quicker you will have
to work in order to avoid drips and sags in your spray
pattern.
Set the material volume by turning the knob on the trigger
of the spray gun.
Tip: Spraying with the knob set too
high will result in a spray pattern that
runs and sags (too much material).
Tip: Spraying with the regulator set
too low will result in a spray pattern
that does not cover (not enough
material).
Adjust Spray Shape
The spray pattern shape is adjusted by turning the ears of
the air cap to either the vertical or horizontal positions. The
positions of the air cap and the corresponding spray pattern
shapes are illustrated below.
Test each pattern and use whichever pattern is suitable for
your application.
NEVER trigger the gun while adjusting the
ears on the air cap. NEVER point the spray gun
at any part of the body.

The room you are spraying must be properly
masked in order to prevent overspray from
covering woodwork, oors or furnishings. Make
sure you have properly masked the room per the
instructions on the enclosed “Taping Guide”.
If spraying with an air-assisted spray system is new or unfamiliar
to you, it is advisable to practice on a piece of scrap wood or
cardboard before beginning on your intended workpiece.
Surface Preparation
All objects to be sprayed should be thoroughly cleaned before
spraying material on them. Areas not to be sprayed may, in
certain cases, need to be masked or covered.
Spray Area Preparation
The spray area must be clean and free of dust in order to avoid
blowing dust onto your freshly sprayed surface.
How to Spray Properly
It is important to keep your arm moving
whenever the gun is being triggered. If you
pause or linger in one spot too long, too much
material will be sprayed to the surface.
Partially pulling the trigger will start the turbine,
but no material will spray until the trigger is
pulled fully. It is recommended that the trigger
rst be pulled partially in order to start the
turbine before a spray pass is made.
• Position the spray gun perpendicular to and six (6) or more
inches from the spray surface, depending upon the spray
pattern size desired.
• Spray parallel to the surface with smooth passes at a
consistent speed as illustrated below. Doing this will help
avoid irregularities in the nish (i. e. runs and sags).
• Always apply a thin coat of material on the rst pass and
allow to dry before applying a second, slightly heavier coat.
7
• When spraying larger surfaces, overlap each spray pass
by at least 50% This will ensure full coverage.
• When spraying, always trigger the spray gun after
spray pass has begun and release trigger before
stopping the pass. Always keep the gun pointed
squarely at the spray surface and overlap passes
slightly to obtain the most consistent and professional
nish possible.
When you quit spraying for any length of time, unplug the
sprayer.
Pattern Examples
Use the images and guidelines below in order to assist you
in achieving the desired spray pattern for your project.
These are meant to be general starting points - you may
have to slightly modify certain controls on the system in
order to get the exact performance you need.
Low volume - round pattern
Generally, low volume is needed for spraying smaller surface
areas, such as corners, lattice, or spindles.
• If you feel the material is going on too thin, increase
the material volume.
• If you feel the material is going on too thick, decrease
the material volume even further or move the spray
gun further away from the surface.
High volume - vertical/horizontal pattern
Generally, high volume is needed for spraying large surface
areas, such as a wall.
• The spray nozzle will determine the movement
direction of the spray gun.
Note: If after following the guidelines on these two pages
you are still not getting the spray performance you need,
refer to the ‘Troubleshooting’ section on page 11.
Besides adjusting the controls, other factors that should be
considered when spraying:
• Distance from the spray object - if you are too far
from the spraying surface, the material will go on too
thin, and vice versa.
• Material thickness - if the spray pattern runs and/or is
too splotchy, the material may need to be thinned.
• Spray gun movement - moving the gun too quickly
will cause the spray pattern to be too thin and excess
overspray. Moving the gun too slowly will cause the
spray pattern to be too coarse or thick.
