Information

Read all safety information before operating

the equipment. Save these instructions

This symbol indicates a hazardous situation,

which, if not not avoided could result in death

or serious injury.
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.

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.

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.

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.
