Tool Set Up

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY

FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:

Turn off the tool, detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure in the tool, and release the throttle and/or turn the switch to its off position before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:

Do not adjust or tamper with any control or component in a way not specifically explained within this manual. Improper adjustment can result in tool failure or other serious hazards.

1.The spray gun must be cleaned with a solvent based thinner before being used for the first time. If not done, the red oil used by the manufacturer for

testing and corrosion protection may contaminate the paint.

2.This spray gun must be thoroughly cleaned after every use. If a solvent based paint was used, clean with a solvent based thinner. If a water based latex type paint was used then clean with water. If this is not done, it is likely that the spray gun will stop working properly.

3.Run the water or solvent through the Spray Gun under pressure for sev- eral minutes to clean out any residual paint material.

Work Piece and Work Area Set Up

1.Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit if possible. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent injury and distraction.

2.Route the air hose along a safe route to reach the work area without creat- ing a tripping hazard or exposing the air hose to possible damage. The air hose must be long enough to reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.

3.Secure loose workpieces when nec- essary using a vise or clamps (not included) to prevent movement while working.

4.Spraying should be done away from objects and structures which are not intended to be painted.
