Important Safety

Information

Read all safety information before operating

the equipment. Save these instructions

To reduce the risks of fire 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.

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

injury.

HAZARD: Injection injury

A high pressure paint stream produced by this equipment can pierce the skin and underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible amputation. See a physician immediately.

DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION INJURY AS A SIMPLE CUT! Injection can lead to amputation. See a physician immediately.

The maximum operating range of the gun is 2800

PSI/193 BAR fluid pressure.

PREVENTION:

•NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.

•Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal.

•NEVER allow any part of the body to touch the fluid stream. DO NOT allow body to touch a leak in the fluid hose.

•NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not provide protection against an injection injury.

•ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the pump off, and release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip or guard, changing tip, or leaving unattended. Pressure will not be released by turning off the motor. The PRIME/SPRAY knob must be turned to PRIME to relieve the pressure.

Refer to the Pressure Relief Procedure (page 7) described in the pump manual.

•ALWAYS keep the tip guard in place while spraying. The tip guard provides some protection but is mainly a warning device.

•ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning the system.

•Paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and abuse. A leak can inject material into the skin.

Inspect the hose before each use. Do not use hose to lift or pull equipment.

•NEVER use a spray gun without a working trigger lock and trigger guard in place.

•All accessories must be rated at or above 2800

PSI/193 BAR. This includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.

NOTE TO PHYSICIAN:

Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury. It is important to treat the injury as soon as possible.

DO NOT delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some coatings injected directly into the blood stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable.

HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS

Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other materials can be harmful if inhaled or come

in contact with the body. Vapors can cause severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.

PREVENTION:

• Use a respirator or mask if vapors can be inhaled. Read all instructions supplied with

the mask to be sure it will provide the necessary protection.

•Wear protective eye wear.

•Wear protective clothing as required by coating manufacturer.

HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE

Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite. Property damage and/or severe injury can occur.

PREVENTION:

• Provide extensive exhaust and fresh air introduction to keep the air within the spray

area free from accumulation of flammable vapors.

Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite.

•Do not spray in a confined area.

•Avoid all ignition sources such as static electric sparks, open flames, pilot lights, electrical appliances, and hot objects. Connecting or disconnecting power cords or working light switches can make sparks. Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to result in static electricity.

•Do not smoke in spray area.

•Fire extinguisher must be present and in good working order.

•Place paint pump in a well-ventilated area away from the spray object. Flammable vapors are often heavier than air. Floor area must be extremely well ventilated.

•The equipment and objects in and around the spray area must be properly grounded to prevent static sparks.

•Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags and other flammable materials.

•Use only conductive or grounded high pressure fluid hose. Gun must be grounded through hose connections.

•Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.

•Always flush unit into a separate metal container, at low pump pressure, with spray tip removed.

Hold gun firmly against side of container to ground container and prevent static sparks.

•Follow the material and solvent manufacturer’s warnings and instructions. Know the contents of the paints 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 manufacturer’s safety instructions.

•This product may be used only with water-based materials or materials with a minimum flash point of 70ºF (21ºC) for spraying or cleaning. Do not spray or clean with materials having a flash point less than 70ºF (21ºC), such as solvent based lacquers, enamels, and/or stain blockers. Flash point is the temperature at which a fluid can produce enough vapors to ignite.

•Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to enclose a spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when spraying flammable materials.

•Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment.

•Do not spray onto pump assembly.

HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS

Will cause property damage or severe injury.

PREVENTION:

•Do not use materials containing bleach or chlorine.

•Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as bleach, mildewcide, methylene chloride and 1,1,1 - trichloroethane. They are not compatible with aluminum.

•Contact your coating supplier about the compatibility of material with aluminum.

HAZARD: GENERAL

Can cause severe injury or property damage.

PREVENTION:

•Read all instructions and safety precautions before operating equipment.

•Follow all appropriate local, state, and national codes governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.

•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.

•Use only manufacturer authorized parts. User assumes all risks and liabilities when using parts that do not meet the minimum specifications and safety requirements of the pump manufacturer.

•Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion or bulging of cover. Check for damage or movement of couplings. Immediately replace the hose if any of these conditions exist. Never repair a paint hose. Replace it with another grounded highpressure hose.

•All hoses and fittings must be secured before operating spray pump. Unsecured parts can eject at great force or leak a high pressure fluid stream causing severe injury.

•All hoses, swivels, guns, and accessories must be pressure rated at or above 2800 PSI/193 BAR.

•Do not spray outdoors on windy days.

•Wear clothing to keep paint off skin and hair.

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

•Do not overreach or stand on an unstable support. Keep effective footing and balance at all times.

•Stay alert and watch what you are doing.

•Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

Important Electrical Information

important: 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

or 12 gauge cord is recommended (see chart). If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix 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.

Cord gauge	Maximum cord length
12	150 feet
14	100 feet

Do not use more than 50 feet of spray hose. If you need to spray further than 50 feet from your power source, use more extension cord, not more spray hose.

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

flat 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 qualified 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 fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified 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 configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.
