OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT
SAFETY INFORMATION
section at the beginning of this

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.
