Information
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.
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 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.
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:
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.

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.

Material Preparation

Start
Before spraying, the material being used may need to be thinned with the proper solvent as specied 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.
Horizontal pattern
Use ‘up and down’ spraying
motion
English
Adjust Spray Width
The adjustment ring on the spray gun determines the width of the spray pattern.
For coating large surfaces
Wide pattern
Narrow (round) pattern
Use higher material volume
For coating smaller areas,
corners and edges Use lower material volume

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.
