-ARNING
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury, in-
cluding fluid injection, splashing fluid or solvent in
the eyes or on the skin, or injury from moving
parts or electric shock, always follow this pro-
cedure whenever you shut off the sprayer, when
checking or servicing any part of the spray
system, when installing, cleaning or changing
spray tips, and whenever you stop spraying.
1. Engage the gun safety latch.
2. Turn the ON/OFF switch to OFF.
3. Unplug the power supply cord.
4. Disengage the gun safety latch.
5. Hold a metal part of the gun flrmly to the side of
a grounded metal pail, and trigger the gun to
relieve pressure.
6. Engage the gun safety latch.
7. Open the pressure relief valve, having a con-
tainer ready to catch th drainage.
8. Leave the pressure relief valve open until you
are ready to spray again.
If YOU SUSp8Ct th8t th8 Spray tip Or hose is COm-
pte t8iy clogged, or the t pressure h8s not been f&y
refi8ved after following the steps above, VERY
SLOWLY loosen the tip guard retaining nut or
hose end coupling and relieve pressure gradually,
then loosen completely. Now clear the tip or hose.
riming the Sprayer
lose the pressure relief valve. If a secondary hose and
gun is not installed, be sure the cap is securely plugging
the nipple. See Fig 2. Plug in the sprayer. Don’t install
the spray tip in the gun yetl
Place the suction tube into the paint container. Turn the
pressure control knob all the way counterclockwise to
the lowest pressure setting. See Fig 3. Disengage the
gun safety latch.
MAINTAIN FIRM
METAL TO METAL
CONTACT BETWEEN
GUN AND CONTAINER
Fig 4
Hold a metal part of the gun firmly against the side of a
grounded metal pail, and trigger the gun into the pail.
Hold the trigger open, turn the sprayer ON, and slowly
increase the pressure setting until the sprayer starts.
Refer to Fig 4. This procedure reduces the risk of static
electric discharge and splashing. Keep the gun triggered
until all air is forced out of the system, and the paint
flows freely from the gun. Release the trigger and
engage the gun safety latch.
NOTE:
If the paint is hard to prime, place a waste
container under the pressure relief valve and
open it. When fluid comes from the valve,
close it. Then disengage the gun safety latch
and follow the paragraph above.
Check all fluid connections for leaks. If any are found,
follow the Pressure Relief Procedure Warning,
above, before tightening connections.
Install the Spray Tip and Tip Guard
Be sure the gun safety latch is engaged. Install the tip
and tip guard as instructed in the separate gun or tip in-
struction manual.
Adjusting the Spray Pattern
Increase the pressure adjusting knob setting just until
spray from the gun is completely atomized. Refer to Fig
3. To avoid excessive overspray and fogging, and to
decrease tip wear and extend the life of the sprayer,
always use the lowest possible pressure needed to get
the desired results.
If more coverage is needed, use a larger tip rather than
increasing the pressure.
Test the spray pattern. To adjust the direction of the
spray pattern, engage the gun safety latch and loosen
the retaining nut. Position the tip so the groove is
horizontal for a horizontal pattern or vertical for a ver-
tical pattern. Then tighten the retaining nut.
Operating Tips
These suggestions will help prevent the motor from run-
ning too hot or operating intermittently.
ODecrease the pressure when using a small tip.
l Keep the sprayer in a shaded area when spraying
outdoors.
l Turn off the sprayer and relieve pressure whenever
you stop spraying.
Cleaning a Clogged Tip
IARNING
To reduce the risk of serious bodily injury from
fluid injection, use extreme caution when clean or
changing spray tips. DO NOT hold your hand,
body, or a rag in front of the spray tip when clean-
ing or checking a clogged tip. Always point the
gun toward the ground or into a pail when check-
ing to see if the tip is clear.
Never wipe off buildup around the spray tip until
pressure is fully relieved and the gun safety latch is
engaged.
I
DO NOT try to “blow back” paint; this is NOT an
air spray sprayer.
Follow the instructions given in your separate gun or
spray tip instruction manual for cleaning a spray tip.
