Care of the Spray Tip and Tip Guard

WARNING

To reduce the risk of fluid injection or splashing in

the eyes or on the skin, do not hold a hand, body

or rag in front of the spray tip when cleaning or

checking a clogged tip. Point the gun toward the

ground or into a waste container when checking to

see if the spray tip is cleared.

Do not try to “blow back” paint; this is not an air

spray gun.

Do not wipe fluid buildup off the gun or spray tip

until pressure is relieved.
