READ ALL INSTRUcTIONS

KNOW yOUR POWER TOOL. Read the operator’s
manual carefully. Learn the machine’s applications and
limitations as well as the specific potential hazards related
to this tool.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:

Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near

an open flame or sources of ignition such as cigarettes,
motors, and electrical equipment.

For units intended for use with only water-based or

mineral spirit-type materials with a minimum flash point
of 60°C (140°F), do not spray or clean with liquids
having a flash point less than 60°C (140°F).

Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able

to result in static electricity. Static electricity creates
a risk of fire or explosion in the presence of paint or
solvent fumes. All parts of the spray system, including
the pump, hose assembly, pistol-grip sprayer, and
objects in and around the spray area shall be properly
grounded to protect against static discharge and
sparks.

Use only conductive or grounded high-pressure airless

paint sprayer hoses specified by the manufacturer.

Verify that all containers and collection systems are

grounded to prevent static discharge.

Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded

extension cords. Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.

Do not use a paint or a solvent containing halogenated

hydrocarbons.

Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good supply

of fresh air moving through the area. Keep pump
assembly in a well ventilated area.

Do not smoke in the spray area.

Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark

producing products in the spray area.

Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers,

rags, and other flammable materials.

Know the contents of the paints 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 manufacturer’s
safety instructions.

Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and

working.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of skin injection:

Do not aim the nozzle at, or spray any person or

animal.

Keep hands and other body parts away from the

discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks with
any part of the body.

Always use the nozzle tip guard. Do not spray without

nozzle tip guard in place.

Only use a spray tip specified by the manufacturer.

Use caution when cleaning and changing spray tips.

In the case where the spray tip clogs while spraying,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions for turning off
the unit and relieving the pressure before removing
the spray tip to clean.

Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while

unattended. When the unit is not in use, turn off the
unit and relieve the pressure in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.

High pressure spray is able to inject toxins into

the body and cause serious bodily injury. In the
event that injection occurs, seek medical attention
immediately.

Check hoses and parts for signs of damage. Replace

any damaged hoses or parts.

This system is capable of producing 2800 psi. Only use

replacement parts or accessories that are specified by
the manufacturer and are rated a minimum of 3000 psi.

Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying.

Verify the trigger lock is functioning properly.

Verify that all connections are secure before operating

the unit.

pressures in excess of those specified by the
manufacturer.

Do not use the hose as a strength member to pull or

lift the equipment.
