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. Make sure that the
product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the
plug. No adapter should be used with this product.

b) waRnIng - To reduce the risk of fire or
explosion:
1. Do not spray flammable or combustible
materials near an open flame, pilot lights
or sources of ignition such as hot objects, cigarettes, motors,
electrical equipment and electrical appliances. Avoid creating
sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords.
2. For use with only water-based or mineral spirit-type materials
with a minimum flash point of 21ºC (70º F) — Do not spray
or clean with liquids having a flash point of less than 21ºC
(70º F). Flash point is the temperature at which a fluid can
produce enough vapor to ignite.
3. Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded
to prevent static discharge.
4. Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extension
cords (electric models only). Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.
5. Do not use a paint or solvent containing halogenated
hydrocarbons. Such as chlorine, bleach mildewcide,
methylene chloride and trichloroethane. They are not
compatible with aluminum. Contact the coating supplier
about compatibility of material with aluminum.
6. Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh
air moving through the area to keep the air within the spray
area free from accumulation of flammable vapors. Keep
pump assembly in well ventilated area. Do not spray pump
assembly.
7. Do not smoke in the spray area.
8. Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark
producing products in the spray area.
9. Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags,
and other flammable materials.
10. Know the contents of the paint and solvents being sprayed.
Read all Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and container
labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint
and solvent manufacture’s safety instructions.
11. Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
c) waRnIng - To reduce the risk of injury:
1. Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection, clothing
and a respirator or mask when painting. Hazardous vapors
– Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other materials can be
harmful if inhaled or come in contact with body. Vapors can
cause severe nausea, fainting or poisoning.

7. Follow all appropriate local, state, and national codes
governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.
8. The United States Government Safety Standards have
been adopted under the Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA). These standards, particularly part 1910 of
the General Standards and part 1926 of the Construction
Standards should be consulted.
9. Use only manufacturer authorized parts. User assumes all
risks and liabilities when using parts that do not meet the
minimum specifications and safety devices of the turbine
manufacturer.
10. Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.
11. All hoses, swivels, guns and accessories must be rated at or
above 10 PSI.
12. Do not spray outdoors on windy days.
13. Hose may become hot and cause skin burn.
14. Use only Wagner HVLP hose.
d) waRnIng - To reduce the risk of electric shock:
1. Always remove turbine before cleaning.

circuit.
3. Never submerge electrical parts.
4. Never expose the equipment to rain. Store indoors.
5. Keep electrical cord plug and spray gun trigger free from
paint and other liquids. Never hold the cord at plug
connections to support the cord. Failure to observe may
result in an electrical shock.
Important Electrical Information
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug
and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using
an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the
current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a
drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A
14 gauge or 12 gauge cord is recommended. If an extension cord is
to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-A after the
cord type designation. For example, a designation of SJTW-A would
indicate that the cord would be appropriate for outdoor use.
Wagner Spray Tech accessory extension cords recommended:
P/N 0090241
20 foot extension cord
P/N 0090242 35 foot extension cord
IMPORTanT: Household use only.
