PRO ENGLISH
• Always engage the Trigger Lock when not spraying. Make sure
the Trigger Lock is functioning properly.
• Make sure all connections are secure before operating the unit.
• Always check the Hose for damage. Replace the Hose if damaged.
Do not kink or excessively bend the Hose.
• Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges,
moving, parts, and hot surfaces.
• Never spray materials near fire, flames, electrical sparks, or
any other ignition source. Never smoke when spraying or in
the vicinity of spraying. Never smoke unless the area has been
thoroughly aired out. Always provide good ventilation. Vent
during and after spraying to eliminate any enclosed explosive
atmosphere
• Read and understand the instructions and precautions provided
by the manufacturer of each paint/solvent before using the
sprayer. Never spray the solvents listed below in any Sprayer
containing aluminum:
• 1, 1, 1-Trichloroethane
• Methylene Chloride
• Halogenated hydrocarbons
• Never spray the solvents mentioned above in any Sprayer
containing aluminum. Never use these solvents for cleaning
equipment. Never use any solvent if in doubt if its composition
or compatibility with aluminum, other materials or this Airless
Sprayer. Such use can cause serious chemical reaction and
equipment rupture, resulting in property damage and/or
personal injury.
• If used with only water-based materials, do not spray or clean
with flammable liquids.
• If used with only water-based or mineral spirit-type materials
with a minimum flash point of 69.8° Fahrenheit, do not spray or
clean with liquids having a flash point less than 69.8° Fahrenheit.
• Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is capable of
producing static electricity. Static electricity creates a risk of fire
or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent fumes.
• All parts of the Airless Sprayer and objects in and around the
spray area must be properly grounded to protect against static
discharge and sparks.
• Use only conductive metal containers placed on a grounded
surface such as concrete. Do not place the container on a non-
conductive surface such as paper or cardboard, which interrupts
grounding continuity. Always connect a ground wire to the
container by clamping one end to the container and the other end
to a ground such as a water pipe.
• To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or relieving
pressure, hold the metal part of the Spray Gun firmly to the side
of a grounded metal container. Then trigger the Spray Gun.
• Use only conductive or grounded high pressure airless paint
sprayer hoses specified by the manufacturer.
• Make sure all containers and collection systems are grounded to
prevent static discharge.
• Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing
products in the spray area.
• Keep the area free of paint and solvent containers, rags, and
other flammable materials.
• Always have multiple ABC class fire extinguishers nearby.
• Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning
on the tool.
• This unit is provided with a thermally protected reset. If an
overload occurs, the reset disconnects the Motor from the
power supply.
• When the thermally protected reset disconnects the Motor from
the power supply, relieve pressure by turning the Pressure Adjust
Knob (69A) to “OFF”.
• Turn the Power Switch (33A) to its “OFF” position.
• The cause of the overload should be corrected before restarting.
(See “Troubleshooting” section.)
• Press the Reset Button at the bottom of the unit.
• Turn the Power Switch (33A) to its “ON” position to restart.
• This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.
• People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before
use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker
could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure. In
addition, people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with powerswitch locked on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock.
• Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented - it prevents
sustained electrical shock.
• Some dust and fumes created by painting, power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities,
contains chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause
cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints.
•
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products.
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
• Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure, to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
especially designed to filter out microscopic particles, (California
Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.).
• WARNING: The brass components of this product contain lead, a
chemical known to the State Of California to cause birth defects
(or other reproductive harm). (California Health & Safety Code §
25249.5, et seq.).
• WARNING: Handling the Power Cord (37A) on this product will
expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California
to cause cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Wash hands after handling. (California Health & Safety Code §
25249.5, et seq.).
• The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this
instruction manual cannot cover all that may occur. It must be
understood by the operator that common sense and caution
are factors which cannot be built into this product/but must be
supplied by the operator.
