The maximum operating range of the unit is 20.7 MPa (3000 PSI) fluid pressure.

PREVENTION:

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

• 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 fluid pump off and release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip guard, changing tips, or leaving unattended. Pressure will not be released by turning off the engine. The PRIME/SPRAY valve or pressure bleed valve must be turned to their appropriate positions to relieve system pressure. Refer to the PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE described in this manual.

• ALWAYS keep 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.

• The paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and abuse. A leak can inject material into the skin. Inspect the hose before each use.

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

• All accessories must be rated at or above the maximum operating pressure range of the sprayer. 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.

Earthing Instructions

Electric models must be earthed. In the event of an electrical short circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having an earthing wire with an appropriate earthing plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER — Improper installation of the earthing 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 earthing wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having a green outer surface with or without yellow stripes is the earthing wire and must be connected to the earthing pin.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the earthing instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly earthed. Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Spraying Technique

he key to a good paint job is an even coating over the entire

T surface. This is done by using even strokes. Keep your arm moving at a constant speed and keep the spray gun at a constant distance from the surface. The best spraying distance is 10 to 12 inches between the spray tip and the surface.

Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This means moving your entire arm back and forth rather than just flexing your wrist.

Overlap each stroke by about 30%. This will ensure an even coating.

When you stop painting, lock the gun trigger lock, turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to its lowest setting and set the PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME. Move the motor ON/OFF switch to OFF and unplug the sprayer.

If you expect to be gone more than 1 hour, follow the short term clean up procedure described in the CLEANUP section of this manual.

Practice

1. Be sure that the paint hose is free of kinks and clear of objects with sharp cutting edges.

2. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to its to its lowest setting.

Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise one end of the pattern will be thicker than the other.

The spray gun should be triggered by turning it on and of each stroke. This will save material and avoid material buildup at the end of the stroke. Do not trigger the gun during the middle of a stroke. This will result in an uneven spray and splotchy coverage.

3. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY valve to SPRAY.

4. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise to its highest setting. The paint hose should stiffen as material begins to flow through it.

5. Unlock the gun trigger lock by turning the switch so that it is parallel to the handle.
