Safety Precautions
HAZARD: Injection injury - A high pressure 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 3600 PSI / 24.8
MPa 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 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 valve must be turned
to PRIME to relieve the pressure. Refer to the PRESSURE
RELIEF PROCEDURE 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.
• 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 trigger lock and trigger
guard in place and in good working order.
• All accessories must be rated at or above the maximum
operating pressure range of the airless sprayer.This
includes spray tips, guns, extensions, and hose.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE - Solvent and paint fumes
can explode or ignite. Severe injury and/or
property damage can occur.
PREVENTION:
• Provide extensive exhaust and fresh air introduction to
keep the air within the spray area free from accumulation of
flammable vapors.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity sparks,
electrical appliances, flames, pilot lights, hot objects, and
sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords or
working light switches.
• Do not smoke in spray area.
• Fire extinguisher must be present and in good working order.
• Place pump at least 25 feet (7.6 m) from the spray object in
awell ventilated area (add more hose if necessary).
Flammable vapors are often heavier than air. Floor area
must be extremely well ventilated. The pump contains
arcing parts that emit sparks and can ignite vapors.
• The equipment and objects in and around the spray area
must be properly grounded to prevent static sparks.
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.
WARNING
• 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.
• Use extreme caution when using materials with a flashpoint
below 70° F (21° C). Flashpoint is the temperature that 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.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE
MATERIALS - will cause severe injury or property
damage.
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: 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 eyewear.
• Wear protective clothing as required by coating
manufacturer.
HAZARD: GENERAL -Can cause severe injury or property
damage.
PREVENTION:
• Read all instructions and safety precautions before operating
equipment.
• Always disconnect the motor from the power supply before
working on the 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 devices 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 high-pressure hose.
• All hoses, swivels, guns, and accessories must be pressure
rated at or above the maximum operating pressure range of
the airless sprayer.
• Do not spray outdoors on windy days.
• Wear clothing to keep paint of skin and hair.

Setup
Never attempt to assemble, change, or clean the gun, tip, or
tip guard without first relieving pressure from the spray
system. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” in the
sprayer’s Owner’s Manual.
Always use a tip safety guard for added
protection against injection. Beware that
the guard alone will not prevent injection.
Never cut off tip guard! Always engage gun
trigger lock when the gun is not in use.
Before servicing equipment, consult
Owner’s Manuals and follow all warnings.
1. Set up the sprayer. Refer to the
instructions in the sprayer’s Owner’s Manual.

5x2=10” spray pattern
The second two digits represent the diameter of the orifice on the
tip:
17 =.017” orifice
Cleanup
Maintaining a clean gun is important to ensure trouble-free
operation. Flush the gun after each use and store in a dry
location. Do not leave the gun or any of its parts in water or
solvents.
Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable
solvents:
•Always flush spray gun preferably outside and at least one
hose length from spray pump.
• If collecting flushed solvents in a one gallon metal container,
place it into an empty five gallon container, then flush
solvents.
•Area must be free of flammable vapors.
•Follow all cleanup instructions.
The sprayer, hose, and gun should be cleaned thoroughly
after daily use. Failure to do so permits material to cake,
seriously affecting the performance of the unit.
Always spray at minimum pressure with the
tip and tip guard removed when using
mineral spirits or any other solvent to clean
the sprayer, hose, or gun. Static electricity
buildup may result in a fire or explosion in
the presence of flammable vapors. Hold the
gun firmly against a metal container while flushing.
