an explosion and fire risk. Your sprayer has a grounding cord that will conduct the static electricity to a
grounded electrical outlet. The sprayer and all objects in spray area shall be properly grounded to protect
against static discharge, sparks or shocks.
• Connect the grounding cord when spraying flammable or static producing oil-based materials.
• If there is static sparking or if you feel a shock, stop spraying immediately and connect the sprayer to a
properly grounded electrical outlet with the ground wire provided.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
Move the sprayer away
from the spray area to
a non-hazardous
location. Plug the
ground wire
into the sprayer.
Unwind the ground wire from the spool
and plug it into a properly grounded
electrical outlet.
If the ground wire is not long enough to
reach a grounded electrical outlet, a

Getting Started with Basic
Techniques
Use a piece of scrap cardboard to practice these basic
spraying techniques before you begin spraying the surface.
•Hold sprayer 10 in. (25 cm) from surface and aim
straight at surface. Tilting sprayer to direct spray angle
causes an uneven finish.
•Flex wrist to keep sprayer pointed straight. Fanning
sprayer to direct spray at angle causes uneven
finish.
NOTE: How fast you move the sprayer will affect spray
application. If material is pulsating, you are moving too fast.
If material drips, you are moving too slow. See Trouble-
shooting, page 27.
Triggering Sprayer
Pull trigger after starting stroke. Release trigger before end
of stroke. Sprayer must be moving when trigger is pulled
and released.
Aiming Sprayer
Aim tip of sprayer at bottom edge of previous stroke, over-
lapping each stroke by half.
NOTICE
Make sure filter is completely screwed into the Tip/Guard
Assembly to avoid damage to the filter. Do not use a
damaged filter or poor sprayer performance may result.
NOTICE
The tip is a permanently attached to the Tip/Guard
Assembly. Removal will result in damage.
