SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Personal
1. Injection hazard: Airless Painting Equipment can cause serious injury if the
spray penetrates the skin. Do not point the gun at anyone or any part of the
body. The tip guard provides some protection against accidental injection
injuries, but is mostly a warning device. Never put your hand, fingers or body
over the spray tip. Gloves and clothing do not necessarily offer any protection
either. Always have the tip guard in place while spraying. In case of
penetration seek medical aid immediately! Note to physician: Injection
into skin is a serious traumatic injury. It is important to treat the injury
surgically as soon as possible. Do not delay treatment to research
toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some exotic coatings injected into
the bloodstream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or reconstructive
hand surgeon may be advisable. Be prepared to tell the doctor what
fluid was injected.
2. Do not spray paints or other inflammable fluids indoors which have a flash point below 21 degree C/70
degree F.
3. Keep spray area well ventilated. Before spraying, turn off all pilot lights and open flames.
4. Always unplug the spray gun before examining or leaving unattended.
5. Wear a respirator which is approved for the product being sprayed.
6. Extension cords - Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot
receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw.
An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Note: The
smaller the guage number, the heavier the cord is.
Maximum lengths and minimum guages are: 50 feet (15.24M) 16 guage
100 feet (30.48M) 14 guage
Equipment
1. Keep spray gun clean at all times.
2. All parts which are intended to contact paint will not be harmed by strong thinners.
3. Do not submerge the spray gun in any liquids.
4. Do not tilt the spray gun upwards while spraying. For jobs such as ceilings, use the flexible extension.
Failing this, paint could leak from the back of the pump.
5. Do not let the spray gun run without material in it. Material flowing through the pump acts as a cooling
agent.
Grounding Instructions
1. This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, 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. DANGER - Improper use
of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.
2. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, 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.
3. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely under-
stood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided;
if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
4. This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit,
and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in sketch A. A temporary adapter, which
looks like the adapter illustrated in sketches B and C,
may be used to connect this plug to a 2-pole
receptacle as shown in sketch B if a properly
grounded outlet is not available. The temporary
adapter should be used only until a properly
grounded outlet (sketch A) can be installed by a
qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear, lug,
or the like extending from the adapter must be
connected to a permanent ground such as a properly
grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is
used, it must be held in place by the screw.
