General Safety Instructions

Warning!

Read all safety notifications and instructions. Failure to comply with the safety notifications and instructions provided may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” used below covers both mains-operated power tools (with mains lead) and accumulator-operated power tools (without mains lead).

  1. Safety at the workplace
    a) Keep your workplace clean and well lit. Disorder or unlit workplaces may result in accidents.
    b) Never use the tool in hazardous areas that contain flammable liquids, gases or dusts. Power tools generate sparks that can ignite the dust or vapors.
    c) Keep children and other persons away when using the power tool. You can lose control of the tool if you are distracted.

  2. Electrical Safety
    a) The tool plug must fit into the socket. The plug may not be modified in any form. Do not use adaptor plugs together with protective-earthed tools. Unmodified plugs and suitable sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
    b) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating elements, stoves and refrigerators. The risk through electric shock increases if your body is earthed.
    c) Keep the equipment away from rain and moisture. The risk of an electric shock increases if water penetrates electrical equipment.
    d) Do not misuse the mains lead by carrying the tool by the lead, hanging it from the lead or by pulling on the lead to remove the plug. Keep the lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving tool parts. Damaged or twisted leads increase the risk of an electric shock.
    e) If you work outdoors with a power tool, only use extension cables suitable for outdoor use. The use of an extension lead that is suitable for outdoors reduces the risk of an electric shock.
    f) If you cannot avoid using the tool in a damp environment, use a residual current operated circuit-breaker. Using a residual current operated circuit- breaker avoids the risk of electric shock.

  3. Safety of Persons
    a) Be attentive. Pay attention to what you are doing and work sensibly with a power tool. Do not use the tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. Just a moment of inattentiveness while using the tool can lead to serious injuries.
    b) Wear personal safety equipment and always wear safety goggles. Wearing personal protective equipment, such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, safety helm or ear protection, depending on the type of power tools, reduces the risk of injury.
    c) Avoid accidental starting-up. Ensure that the switch is in the “OFF” position before inserting the plug into the socket.
    Accidents can occur if you carry the power tool while your finger is on the switch or if you connect the power tool to the power supply which it is on.
    d) Remove setting tools or wrenches before switching on the power tool. A tool or wrench that is in a rotating tool part can lead to injuries.
    e) Avoid an unnatural posture. Ensure that you are standing securely and have your balance at all times. This ensures that you can control the tool better in unexpected situations.
    f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear wide clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
    g) Do not lull yourself into a false sense of security and do not think yourself above the safety rules for electric tools, even if you are familiar with the electric tool following extensive practical experience. Careless use can lead to serious injuries in fractions of a second.

  4. Careful Handling and Use of Power Tools
    a) Do not overload the tool. Use the power tool designed for the work that you are doing. You work better and safer in the specified performance range if you use the suitable power tool.
    b) Do not use power tools whose switch is defective. A power tool that cannot be switched on or off is dangerous and has to be repaired.
    c) Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out tool settings, changing accessories or putting the tool away.
    This precautionary measure prevents unintentional starting of the tool.
    d) Store unused power tools so that they are inaccessible to children. Do not let persons use the tool who are not familiar with it or who have not read these instructions. Power tools are dangerous when they are used by inexperienced persons.
    e) Take proper care of your tools. Check whether the moving parts function trouble-free and do not jam, whether parts are broken or damaged so that the tool function is impaired. Have damaged parts repaired before using the tool. Many accidents have their origin in power tools that have been maintained badly.
    f) Use the power tool, accessories, insert tools, etc. in accordance with these instructions and in a fashion specified for this special tool type. Take the working conditions and the activity to be carried out into consideration. The use of power tools for purposes other than the intended ones can lead to dangerous situations.
    g) Keep the handles and grip surfaces dry, clean and free of oil and grease. Slippery handles and grip surfaces hamper safe operation and control of the electric tool in unforeseen situations.

  5. Service
    a) Have your tool repaired only by qualified specialist personnel and only with original spare parts. This ensures that the tool safety is maintained.
    a) If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or it’s service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid a safety hazard.

Health protection
Caution!
Wear breathing equipment: Paint mist and solvent vapors are damaging to health. Always wear breathing equipment and only work in well ventilated rooms or using supplementary ventilating equipment. It is advisable to wear working clothing, safety glasses, ear protection and gloves
Flammable materials
Do not use the spray guns to spray flammable substances.

Explosion protection
Do not use the unit in work places which are covered to the explosion protection regulations.
Danger of explosion and fire through sources of flame during spraying work
There may be no sources of flame such as, for example, open fires, smoking of cigarettes, cigars or tobacco pipes, sparks, glowing wires, hot surfaces, etc. in the vicinity.
Electrostatic charging (formation of sparks or flame)
Under certain circumstances, electrostatic charging can occur on the unit due to the rate of flow of the coating material when spraying. On discharging this can result in the emergence of sparks or fire. It is therefore necessary that the unit is always earthed through the electrical installation. The connection must take place through a correctly earthed two-pole-and-earth socket outlet.
Ventilation
Good natural or artificial ventilation must be ensured in order to avoid the risk of explosion or fire and damage to health during spray work.
Secure device and spray gun
All hoses, fittings, and filter parts must be secured before operating spray pump. Unsecured parts can eject at great force or leak a high pressure fluid stream causing severe injury.
Always secure the spray gun when mounting or dismounting the nozzle and in case of interruption to work.
Recoil of spray gun
In case of high operating pressure, pulling the trigger can effect a recoil force of up to 15 N.
If you are not prepared for this, your hand can be thrust backwards or your balance lost. This can lead to injury.
Continuous stress from this recoil can cause permanent damage to health.
Max. operating pressure
Max. permissible operating pressure for spray gun, spray gun accessories and high-pressure hose may not fall short of the maximum operating pressure of 110 bar (11 MPa) stated on the unit.
Coating substance
Caution against dangers that can arise from the sprayed substance and observe the text and information on the containers or the specifications given by the substance manufacturer.
Do not spray any liquid of unknown hazard potential.
High-pressure hose (safety note)
Attention, danger of injury by injection! Wear and tear and kinks as well as usage that is not appropriate to the purpose of the device can cause leakages to form in the high-pressure hose. Liquid can be injected into the skin through a leakage.
High-pressure hoses must be checked thoroughly before they are used.
Replace any damaged high-pressure hose immediately.
Never repair defective high-pressure hoses yourself!
Avoid sharp bends and folds: the smallest bending radius is about 20 cm.
Do not drive over the high-pressure hose. Protect against sharp objects and edges.
Never pull on the high-pressure hose to move the device.
Do not twist the high-pressure hose.
Do not put the high-pressure hose into solvents. Use only a wet cloth to wipe down the outside of the hose.
Lay the high-pressure hose in such a way as to ensure that it cannot be tripped over.
Electrostatic charging of spray guns and the high-pressure hose is discharged through the high-pressure hose. For this reason the electric resistance between the connections of the high-pressure hose must be equal or lower than 197 kΩ/m (60 kΩ/ft.).
For reasons of function, safety and durability, only use genuine WAGNER high- pressure hoses and spray nozzles. For overview see „Spare parts lists“.
The risk of damage rises with the age of the high-pressure hose.
Wagner recommends replacing high-pressure hoses after 6 years.

Connecting the device

A properly earthed socket outlet with earthing contact must be used for connection. The connection must be equipped with a residual current protective device with INF ≤ 30 mA.
Setting up the unit
When working indoors:
Vapors containing solvents may not be allowed to build up in the area of the device.
Setting up the unit on the side a way from the sprayed object.
A minimum distance of 5 m between the unit and spray gun is to be maintained.
When working outdoors:
Vapors containing solvents may not be allowed to blow toward the unit.
Note the direction of the wind.
Set the unit up in such a way that vapors containing solvents do not reach the unit and build up there.
A minimum distance of 5 m between the unit and spray gun is to be maintained.

Maintenance and repairs

Before carrying out any work on the device, relieve the pressure and unplug the power plug from the socket.
Cleaning the unit
Danger of short circuit through penetrating water!
Never spray down the unit with high-pressure or high-pressure steam cleaners.
Cleaning units with solvents
When cleaning the unit with solvents, the solvent should never be sprayed or pumped back into a container with a small opening (bunghole). An explosive gas/air mixture can be produced. The container must be earthed.
Do not use flammable materials for cleaning purposes.
Earthing of the object
The object to be coated must be earthed.
Thermal release
The device is equipped with a thermal release which disconnects the device in case of overheating. In this case switch the device off, turn the selector switch to the PRIME position (vertical), remove the mains plug and allow device to cool down for min. 30 minutes. Eliminate the cause of heating, e.g. slots for air intake covered.
Dry running
Operation without liquid leads to increased wear and damages the pump. Never allow the device to run dry for more than 30 seconds. One cause of blockages can be a clogged gun or inlet filter/suction filter. Therefore, check and clean the filters regularly.

  • Hex key (2.5 mm)
  • Empty container
  • A large piece of cardboard
  • Covering material

Preparation of the workplace

Sockets and plugs must be masked. Risk of an electric shock as a consequence of sprayed material entering the socket!
Mask all the areas and objects that are not to be spray painted, or remove them from the work area.
No liability is assumed for damage due to overspray.
Silicate paint corrodes glass and ceramic surfaces upon contact! All such surfaces must therefore be completely covered.
Pay attention to the quality of the adhesive tape used. Do not use excessively strong adhesive tape on wallpaper and painted surfaces, in order to avoid damaging these surfaces when removing the tape. Remove adhesive tape slowly and evenly; do not use jerky movements. Do not leave adhesive tape on surfaces any longer than necessary, in order to minimise the possibility of residues when removing. Also observe the adhesive tape manufacturer’s instructions.

Preparation of the Coating Material

Using Control Pro 250 R / 350 R interior wall paints, varnishes and glazes can be applied by spraying without diluting them, or by diluting them slightly. Detailed information is available in the technical data sheet of the manufacturer (→ Internet download).
1. Stir the material thoroughly and dilute it in the container as per the recommended dilution (an agitator is recommended for stirring).

Thinning recommendation

Sprayed material

Glazes| undiluted
Wood preservatives containing solvents or based on water, mordants, oils, disinfection agents, plant protective agents| undiluted
Paints containing solvents and watersoluble paints, primers, vehicle coating paints, thick-film glazes| dilute by 5 – 10 %
Interior wall paint (dispersions and latex paint)| dilute by 0-10 %

The values in the table are reference values.
Find out how much the paint needs to be thinned by testing it. Details on how to test the spray paint can be found in the section called “Spray Technique”.

Control Pro Airless Sprayer - suction problems Spray Technique

Be sure to follow the Pressure Relief Procedure when shutting the unit off for any purpose.
This procedure relieves the pressure from the spray hose and the gun.
Be sure that the paint hose is free of kinks and clear of objects with sharp cutting edges.

  • It is best to practise on cardboard or a similar surface first of all, in order to check the spray pattern and become accustomed to using the spray gun.

If the paint sprays evenly, as shown in fig. 16 A, all the setting must be correct.
If the paint looks stripy after spraying, as shown in fig. 16 B, gradually increase the pressure, or dilute more in 5% steps (please note the maximum amount of thinner stipulated by manufacturer.)

  • The key to obtaining a high quality result is even coating of the entire surface.
    Keep your arm moving at a constant speed and keep the spray gun at a constant distance from the surface. The best spraying distance is approx. 20 to 25 cm between the spray nozzle and the surface. (Fig. 17, A)

  • Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This means moving your entire arm back and forth rather than just flexing your wrist. (Fig. 17, B)

  • Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise one end of the pattern will be thicker than the other. (Fig. 17, C)

  • Trigger gun after starting the stroke. Release the trigger before ending the stroke. (Fig. 17, D) The spray gun should be moving when the trigger is pulled and released. Overlap each stroke by about 30%. This will ensure an even coating.

During operation the pump switches on and off continuously, in order to regulate the pressure.
This is normal and is not a malfunction.

Unclogging the Spray nozzle

If the spray pattern becomes distorted or stops completely while the gun is triggered, follow these steps.
Do not attempt to unclog or clean the nozzle with your finger. High pressure fluid can cause injection injury.

  1. Release the trigger and secure the gun. Rotate the reversible nozzle arrow 180° so that the point of the arrow is toward the rear of the gun. (Fig. 18).
    Under pressure, the nozzle may be very difficult to turn. Turn the switch to the PRIME position (vertical) and pull the trigger. This will relieve pressure and the tip will turn more easily.

  2. Turn the switch to the SPRAY position (horizontal).

  3. Unlock the gun and squeeze the trigger, pointing the gun at a scrap piece of wood or cardboard. This allows pressure in the spray hose to blow out the obstruction. When the nozzle is clean, material will come out in a straight, high pressure stream.

  4. Release the trigger and secure the gun. Reverse the nozzle so the arrow points forward again. Unlock the gun and resume spraying.
    The HEA Filter Set keeps nozzle blockages to a minimum (see “HEA Filter Set”).

HEA Filter Set

Assembly
The gun and high-pressure hose must be de-pressurised before the filter set is installed / removed.

  1. Disconnect the high-pressure hose from the gun (1).

  2. If necessary, screw on the filter housing (2) and insert a filter (3) appropriate to the nozzle (the conical side (A) must point upwards).
    Nozzle 311 → Filter red
    Nozzle 517 / 619 → Filter white (pre-installed in the filter housing)

  3. Screw the filter housing (2) to the gun (1).

Information about the oscillation level
The specified oscillation level has been measured according to a standard test procedure and can be used to compare against electric tools.
The oscillation level is also for determining an initial assessment of the vibrational strain.
Attention! The vibration emission value can differ from the specified value when the electric tool is actually in use, depending on how the electric tool is being used. It is necessary to specify safety measures to protect the operating personnel. These measures are based on an estimated shutdown during the actual conditions of use (all parts of the operating cycle are taken into consideration here, for example periods when the electric tool is switched off, and, when it is switched on but running without any load).
