TRUPER PIPI-33E Electric Spray Gun User Manual

Power requirements

WARNING
Tools with double insulation are equipped with a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). This plug will only fit in the right way into a polarized outlet. If the plug cannot be introduced into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still doesn’t fit, call a qualified electrician to install for you a polarized outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need of both a grounded third power cord with three prongs or a grounded power connection.

WARNING
When using an extension cable, verify the gauge is enough for the power that your product needs. A lower gauge cable will cause voltage drop in the line, resulting in power loss and overheating. The following table shows the right size to use depending on cable’s length and the ampere capability shown in the tool’s nameplate. When in doubt use the next higher gauge.

WARNING
When operating power tools outdoors, use a grounded extension cable labeled “For Outdoors Use”. These extensions are especially designed for operating outdoors and reduce the risk of electric shock.

WARNING! Read carefully all safety warnings and instructions listed below. Failure to comply with any of these warnings may result in electric shock, fire and / or severe damage. Save all warnings and instructions for future references.

Work area
Keep your work area clean, and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas may cause accidents.
Never use the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Sparks generated by power tools may ignite the flammable material.
Keep children and bystanders at a safe distance while operating the tool.
Distractions may cause loosing control

Electrical Safety
The tool plug must match the power outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with grounded power tools.
Modified plugs and different power outlets increase the risk of electric shock.

Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, electric ranges and refrigerators. The risk of electric shock increases if your body is grounded. Do not expose the tool to rain or wet conditions. Water entering into the tool increases the risk of electric shock. Do not force the cord. Never use the cord to carry, lift or unplug the tool. Keep the cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. When operating a tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Using an adequate outdoor extension cord reduces the risk of electric shock. If operating the tool in a damp location cannot be avoided, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Using a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of distraction while operating the tool may result in personal injury.

Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Protective equipment such as safety glasses, anti-dust mask, non-skid shoes, hard hats and hearing protection used in the right conditions significantly reduce personal injury

Safety warnings for electric spray guns

Substances and materials

CAUTION

• The device is designed to apply coating materials like paint, varnish, enamel, etc. These materials shall have a flashpoint not lower than 70° F.

WARNING

• Do not spray substances you are not familiar with and the potential hazard is unknown.

WARNING

• Do not spray flammable substances. Use care with hazards originated by the substances sprayed. Review the text and information in the cans and containers, or the manufacturer specifications.

Suitable materials

Water solvent based paint, finish, primer, and paint with two components, transparent finish, automotive finish, sealer, and wood sealer.

Non suitable materials

Wall paint (emulsion), alkaline or acidic paint. Coating with a flashpoint lower to 70° F.

Before operating the device

CAUTION

• The device shall not be used in enclosed spaces or explosive environments.
• When working outside consider the wind direction. Wind can carry the coating long distances and cause damage and make the job difficult.

CAUTION

• When working indoors verify there is adequate ventilation.

WARNING

• The work area shall be free if ignition sources. Do not smoke while spraying or near the work

CAUTION

• Use a breathing mask and safety glasses when spraying to prevent damaging your lungs and eyes.
• Use hearing protection.

CAUTION

• People with medical implants. Before using the sprayer is recommended to visit their physician and consult with the implant manufacturer. The electro-magnetic field produced could interfere with the medical implant function.

Parts

Preparation

To gain in good results the coating job it is important to prepare the surface to be sprayed. Before applying, thin the paint or product to get the right viscosity. Double-check the surface to be spayed is free of dust, dirt or grease. Mask the areas that are not to be sprayed with good quality masking tape. The paint or product to be spayed shall be totally mixed and free of lumps or other particles. Many substances can be sprayed with the paint sprayer. Read the manufacturer recommendations before buying the product.

Thinning the material

• Most paints are sold ready to apply with a brush, but thinning is needed to be adequate for paint spaying. Follow the product manufacturer indications to thin the product correctly.
• Add thinner from 5% to 10% until reaching the right viscosity to apply the material.
• The viscosity cup included helps to determine the paint right viscosity. Viscosity is determined with the seconds the material takes to be discharged from the viscosity cup. The next table shows the recommended times for the different types of product.

• If after thinning the product the dispersion capacity is too low, add more thinner. Slowly add more thinner from 5% to 10% ntil the dispersion capacity meets your needs.

Filling up the container

CAUTION

• Disconnect the sprayer when filling up the container with paint or product.

• Unscrew the sprayer container.

• Align the suction pipe depending the job to be carried out:
  To spay horizontal objects set the suction pipe forward (A).

• To spray objects above head set the suction pipe backwards (B).
  

• Set the container onto a piece of paper. Pour the prepared coating and fasten the container in the sprayer.

Start up

Spray selector

• Before starting the paint sprayer adjust the type of spray suitable for the job.

• Loosen slightly the spray lock (A) so that the spray disperser (B) is released.

• Turn the disperser into the position most suitable for the job.

• Adjust back the spray lock.

Material volume selector

• Turn the volume selector (C) upward to increase the volume of the spraying material.
  

• Turn the volume selector downwards to decrease the spraying material.

Turning on

• Plug the cable into the power outlet.
• Press the switch (E).
• Press the trigger switch (D) to start the paint sprayer motor and the product starts flowing out. Aim the sprayer at a piece of cardboard until the product is sprayed.
• Release the trigger to stop the spray flow.
  

Warning

• Never press the trigger while adjusting the spray selector

Spraying techniques

• To gain good results always keep the sprayer level and parallel to the surface (E). Keep the nozzle at 10” – 12” from the surface and spray evenly from side to side and up and down. Do not spray in an angle otherwise the paint will run on the surface. Work with light and even passes. When spraying large surfaces use a crossed pattern (F).
  
  

• Never start or stop the sprayer while aiming at the surface to be sprayed.

• Move the sprayer with in a constant and uniform speed. Fast movements produce thin layers. Slow movements produce thick layers.

• Apply one layer at a time. Before applying second layer read the drying recommendation of the product manufacturer. Remember, to get a better finish it is better to apply two thin layers than only one thick layer.

• When spraying small areas keep the outlet control down. It prevents from using too much paint ant prevents from over doing the spraying.

• Prevent when possible stopping and continuing the spraying of an object. It causes too much or very little paint.

• Do not tilt the paint sprayer in an angle higher than 45°.
