This symbol indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not
not avoided could result in death or serious injury.
HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE
Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite, causing
property damage and/or severe injury.
PREVENTION:
• Exhaust and fresh air introduction must be provided to
keep the air within the work area free from accumulation
of flammable vapors.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity sparks,
open flames, pilot lights, hot objects, cigarettes, and
sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords or working
light switches.
• Fire extinguishing equipment must be present and in working order.
• Do not use materials with a flashpoint below 100° F (38° C). A
fluid’s flashpoint is the temperature at which vapors from the fluid
could ignite if exposed to a flame or spark. Consult your paint
supplier for information about a fluid’s flashpoint.
• Keep the unit in a well ventilated location away from the work area.
The pump contains arcing parts which emit sparks.
HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS
Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other materials may
be harmful if inhaled, causing severe nausea, fainting, or
poisoning.
PREVENTION:
• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that vapors
may be inhaled. Read all instructions with the mask to insure that
it will provide the necessary protection against the inhalation of
harmful vapors.
HAZARD: GENERAL
May cause property damage or severe injury.
PREVENTION:
• Read all instructions and safety precautions before operating any
equipment. Never leave the unit running while unattended. Unplug
whenever not in use.
• Never immerse the unit into any liquid.
• Comply with all appropriate local, state and national codes
governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.
• This paint roller system is designed to be used with authorized
parts only. When using this system with parts that do not comply
with the minimum specifications and safety devices of the system
manufacturer, the user assumes all risks and liabilities.
• Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion or bulging
of cover or damage or movement of couplings. If any of these
conditions exist, call Customer Service. Never repair a paint hose,
replace it with a new one.
Additional warnings are contained on the tag molded to the electrical
cord of the unit. Be sure to read this tag before operating the unit.

Important Safety Information
·
Read all safety information before operating
the equipment. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
To reduce the risks of fire or explosion, electrical shock and the injury to persons, read and understand all instructions included in
this manual. Be familiar with the controls and proper usage of the equipment.
General Description
This high performance power roller is a precision power tool used for both
interior and exterior painting and may be used with both water (latex) and oil
based paints.
IMPORTANT: Use of oil-based paints must be limited to only those
paints which can be cleaned with mineral spirits. Latex paints can
be cleaned with soapy, lukewarm water. DO NOT use hot water when
cleaning or flushing the unit.
Grounding Instructions
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for
the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding
wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.
WARNING - Improper installation of the grounding plug
can result in a risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the green grounding wire to either flat blade terminal.
The wire with insulation having a green outer surface with or without yellow
stripes is the grounding wire and must be connected to the grounding pin.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided. If the
plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter which
looks like the adapter illustrated in the figure below may be used to connect
this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown if a properly grounded outlet is not
available.
The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded
outlet as shown below can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green
colored rigid ear lug or the grounding wire extending from the adapter must
be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet
box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a
metal screw.

Extension Cord Selection
If an extension cord is used, make sure that it is of the 3-conductor type
with NEMA connectors so a continuous grounding circuit is provided from
the tool to the power circuit receptacle. Make sure your extension cord is
in good condition. Also, be sure that the conductor size is large enough to
prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power and possible
motor damage to the unit. A 14 or 12 gauge cord is recommended.
If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix
W-A following the cord type designation. For example, SJTW-A to indicate
that it is acceptable for outdoor use.
