8.   Do not operate the tool if it is damaged during 

shipping, handling or use. Damage could result in 

bursting and cause injury and/or property damage.

9.   Never spray flammable materials in vicinity of open 

flame or near ignition sources. Never store flammable 

liquids or gases near air compressor.

10. Maintain a distance of at least 25 feet from the air 

compressor. If possible, locate the air compressor in 

a separate room.

11. Do not spray acids, corrosive materials, toxic chemi-

cals, fertilizers or pesticides. Using these materials 

could result in death or serious injury.

12. Never aim or spray at yourself or anyone else, which 

could result in serious injury.

13. Do not use pressure exceeding the operating 

pressure of any of the parts (hoses, fittings, etc.) in 

the painting system.

14. Do not smoke in or near the work area. Always keep a 

fire extinguisher present in the work area.

15. During cleaning and flushing, solvents can be 

forcefully expelled from liquid and air passages which 

could cause eye injury. Be sure that all others in the 

area are wearing impact resistance eye and face 

protection. Even small objects can injure eyes and 

cause blindness.

16. Paints and solvents may be harmful or fatal if 

swallowed or inhaled. Avoid prolonged skin contact 

with solvents or paints as they will irritate skin. After 

any contact, immediately wash off exposed area with 

hot, soapy water.

17. Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure 

and disconnect air supply when not in use, before 

changing accessories or when making repairs. Turn 

off and detach the air supply, safely discharge any 

residual air pressure, and release the throttle and/or 

turn the switch to its off position before leaving the 

work area.

18. Keep hose away from sharp objects. Bursting air hose 

could result in personal injury. Examine air hoses 

regularly and replace them if damaged or broken.

Spray gun safety instructions

1.   Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, 

breakage of parts, and any other condition that 

affects the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool 

serviced before using.

2.   Always use spray gun at a safe distance from other 

people in the work area.

3.   Clean the spray gun IMMEDIATELY after each use. 

Delayed or inadequate cleaning will permanently clog 

the spray gun.

4.   The pressure for atomization is controlled by the 

regulator on the air source. The amount of fluid is 

adjusted by the fluid control knob, the paint viscosity, 

and the air pressure.

5.   Failure to install appropriate water/oil removal 

equipment could result in damage to the product or 

workpiece.

1.   Keep the work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered 

benches and dark areas increase the risks of electric 

shock, fire and injury to persons.

2.   Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while 

operating the tool. Do not use this product with other 

people, children or pets in the work area.

3.   Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use 

common sense when operating the tool. Do not use 

the tool while tired or under influence of drugs, 

alcohol, or medication.

4.   Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or 

jewelry. Keep long hair and gloves away from moving 

parts.

5.   Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at 

all times. Use a face mask/respirator and wear 

ANSI-approved safety goggles when spraying. Always 

spray in a well-ventilated area to prevent health and 

fire hazards. Refer to Material Safety Data (MSDS) of 

spray materials for details.

6.   Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases 

or any bottled gas as an air source for the tool. Use 

only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the rated 

pressure or within the rated pressure ranges for best 

spray gun performance and extend spray gun life.

7.   Do not aim the spray gun at any dust or debris to 

avoid any damage to workpiece.
