Description
Airless paint sprayers are capable of
spraying a variety of latex and oil-
based paints, as well as stains, preserv-
atives and other non-abrasive finishes.
The coatings that can be sprayed will
vary depending on the sprayer.
Unpacking
After unpacking the unit, inspect care-
fully for any damage that may have
occurred during transit. Make sure to
tighten all connection points before
putting into service. There will be
some lubricant in the sprayer head
from the testing process. Spray a short
burst onto a practice surface after fill-
ing the canister with paint. This will
clear the lubricant without affecting
the paint job or the coating.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – To
reduce the risk of fire or explosion,
electrical shock and injury to per-
sons, read and understand all
instructions included in this manual.
Be familiar with the controls and
the proper usage of the equipment.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD:
To prevent electrical shock,
observe the following guide-
lines at all times:
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. In
the event of an electrical short cir-
cuit, 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, as well
as the National Electrical Code (NEC)
!
DANGER
NOTICE
!
CAUTION
and, in the United States, the
Occupational Safety and Health Act
(OSHA).
Improper installa
tion of the
grounding plug is liable to result in
a risk of electric shock. When repair
or replacement of the cord or plug is
required, do not connect the
grounding wire to either flat blade
terminal. The wire with insulation
having an outer surface that is
green,with or without yellow
stripes, is the grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman when the grounding
instructions are not completely
understood, or when in doubt as to
whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided; if it does not fit the out-
let, have the proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal
120-V circuit and has a grounding
plug similar to the plug illustrated
in Figure 1. Only connect the prod-
uct to an outlet having the same
configuration as the plug. Do not
use an adapter with this product.

Extension Cords:
Use only a 3-wire extension cord
that has a 3-blade grounding plug,
and a 3-slot receptacle that accepts
the plug on the product. Make sure
the extension cord is not damaged.
When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current the product draws.
An undersized cord results in a drop
in line voltage and loss of power
and overheating. See Table 1 on
Page 2.
Do not modify any of the electrical
components of this equipment.
To reduce the
risk of fire or
explosion:
• Do not spray flammable or com-
bustible materials near an open
flame or sources of ignition such
as cigarettes, motors and electrical
equipment.
• Paint or solvent flowing through
the equipment is liable to result in
static electricity. Static electricity
creates a risk of fire or explosion
in the presence of paint or solvent
fumes. All parts of the spray sys-
tem, including the pump, hose
assembly, spray gun and objects in
and around the spray area should
be properly grounded to protect
against static discharge and
sparks. Use only conductive or
grounded high-pressure airless
paint sprayer hoses specified by
the manufacturer.
• Verify that all containers and col-
lection systems are grounded to
prevent static discharge.
!
WARNING
• Connect to a grounded outlet
and use grounded extension cords.
Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.
• Do not use a paint or a solvent
containing halogenated hydrocar-
bons as this attacks the aluminum
and increases the risk of bursting.
Examples of improper solvents are
methyl bromine, carbon tetrachlo-
ride and ethyl iodide.
• Keep spray area well-ventilated.
Keep a good supply of fresh air
moving through the area. Keep
pump assembly in a well-ventilat-
ed area. Do not spray pump
assembly.
• Do not smoke in the spray area.
• Do not operate light switches,
engines, or similar spark-produc-
ing products in the spray area.
• Keep area clean and free of
paint or solvent containers, rags
and other flammable materials.
• Know the contents of the paints
and solvents being sprayed. Read
all Material Safety Data Sheets
(MSDS) and container labels pro-
vided with the paints and sol-
vents. Follow the paint and solvent
manufacturer’s safety instructions.
• Fire extinguisher equipment shall
be present and working.
• Due to flammability, use caution
when using solvents with flash
points less than 70F (21C) to clean
equipment. Examples of accept-
able cleaning solvents include
water, mineral spirits and lacquer
thinner. Unacceptable cleaning sol-
vents include naphtha, MEK, ace-
tone, alcohol and toluene.

of the body.
• Always use the nozzle tip guard.
Do not spray without nozzle tip
guard in place.
• Only use a nozzle tip specified
by the manufacturer.
• Use caution when cleaning and
changing nozzle tips. If the nozzle

• Do not leave the unit energized
or under pressure while unattend-
ed. When not in
use, turn the
unit Off (see
Figure 4) and
relieve pressure
by triggering
the gun in a safe
direction. Then
engage the trig-
ger lock.
• High-pressure spray can inject
toxins into the body and cause
serious bodily injury. In the event
that injection occurs, seek medical
attention immediately.
• Check hoses and parts for signs
of damage. Replace any damaged
hoses or parts.
• This system is capable of produc-
ing 3000 psi. Only use replace-
ment parts or accessories that are
specified by the manufacturer and
rated at a minimum of 3000 psi.
• Always engage the trigger lock
when not spraying (see Figure 2).
Verify the trigger lock is function-
ing properly by pulling the trig-
ger. If the trigger lock is function-
ing properly the gun valve will
not spray.
• Verify that all connections are
secure before operating the unit.
• Know how to stop the unit and
bleed pressure quickly. To bleed
