General Safety
Information
CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65
You can create dust when you cut, sand, drill or grind materials such as wood,
paint, metal, concrete, cement, or other masonry. This dust often contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Wear protective gear.
This product or its power cord may con- tain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Read all manuals included with this product carefully.
MANUEL
Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper use of the equipment.
2.Follow all local electrical and safety codes as well as in the United States, the National Electrical Codes (NEC) and Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
Use a face mask/respirator and protective clothing when spraying. Always spray in a
well ventilated area to prevent health and fire hazards. Refer to Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) of spray material for details.
Never spray closer than 25 feet to the compressor! If possible, locate compressor in separate
room. Never spray into the compressor, compressor controls or the motor.
3.Do not smoke or eat when spraying paint, insecticides, or other flam- mable substances.
Do not spray flammable materials in vicinity of open flame or near ignition sourc-
es. Motors, electrical equipment and controls can cause electrical arcs that will ignite a flammable gas or vapor. Never store flammable liquids or gases in the vicinity of the compressor.
4.When spraying and cleaning, always follow the instructions and safety precautions provided by the material manufacturer (Refer to MSDS).
Do not spray
acids, corrosive materials, toxic chemi- cals, fertilizers or pesticides. Using these materials could result in death or serious injury.
5.Keep visitors away and NEVER allow children or pets in the work area.
Never aim or
spray at yourself or anyone else or seri- ous injury could occur.
6.Always work in a clean environment. To avoid injury and damage to the workpiece, do not aim the spray gun at any dust or debris.
Do not use pressure that exceeds the operating pressure of any of the parts (hoses, fit-
tings, etc.) in the painting system.
Keep hose away
from sharp objects. Bursting air hoses may cause injury. Examine air hoses regularly and replace if damaged.
7.Always use a pressure regulator on the air supply to the spray gun.
Failure to install
appropriate water/oil removal equip- ment may result in damage to machin- ery or workpiece.
Preparation
1.Thoroughly mix the paint in accor- dance with the manufacturer’s instructions, adding thinner where necessary. Most materials will spray readily if thinned properly. Strain material through cheese cloth or a paint strainer. Test the consistency of the material by making a few strokes on a cardboard target. If material still appears too thick, add a small amount of thinner. THIN WITH CARE!!
2.Fill the canister about 3/4 full and start the air compressor.
3.Set up a piece of cardboard or other scrap material to use as a target and adjust for best spray pattern.

FAN DIRECTION
The direction of the fan (horizontal or vertical) can be changed by loosening the lock ring and turning the air cap 90 degrees (See Figure 1). Hand tighten lock ring after adjustment.
PATTERN ADJUSTMENT
1.Adjust air pressure to the spray gun according to the recommenda- tions supplied with the spray mate- rial. This air pressure usually falls between 40 - 60 PSI. Adjust air pres- sure with the trigger pulled.
2.Turn fluid control knob fully clock- wise until closed.
