IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

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.

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.

SAFETY HAZARDS

Make sure the power cord is unplugged.

1. Lower the carry handle by pressing the locking tabs on either side of the handle.
   

2. Open the Power Box (a). Open the air hose retainer (b) inside the cover and retrieve the air hose and handle assembly (c). Close the air hose retainer.
   

3. Unwrap the power cord. Slide the power cord into the provided recess.
   Attention
   Do not close the Power Box cover if the power cord is not positioned correctly. The power cord could be damaged.

4. Remove the desired spray nozzle from inside the Power Box. Close the cover and pull the carry handle upwards. This will make the nozzle holder accessible during usage.

SPRAYER CONTROLS

TURBINE ON/OFF SWITCH
The turbine ON/OFF switch turns the system’s main power ON (I) and OFF (0).

The turbine will not turn ON with this switch. The handle switch must be turned ON (I) to activate turbine.

HANDLE ON/OFF SWITCH
The handle ON/OFF switch will ready the nozzle for spraying.
ON = (I) OFF = (0)

MATERIAL FLOW CONTROL

• Generally, low material flow is needed for spraying smaller surface areas, such as corners, lattice, or spindles.
• Generally, high material flow is needed for spraying large surface areas, such as fences and decks.

AIR POWER DIAL
The air power dial adjusts the level of air power produced by  the turbine

• A high air power level will result in faster coverage and a smoother finish with thicker materials.
• Lowering the air power will result in larger drops of material being sprayed from the gun, and will create a slightly rougher finish.

SPRAY WIDTH LEVER
The spray width lever determines the width of the spray pattern.

AIR CAP
Adjust the spray pattern by turning the air cap ears (A).
The air cap position will determine the movement direction of the spray gun.

Round pattern (use ‘up and down’ or ‘side to side’ spraying motion)

Horizontal pattern (use ‘up and down’ spraying motion)

Vertical pattern (use ‘side to side’ spraying motion)

*Round pattern – Detail Finish nozzle only, if included (Use ‘up and down’ or ‘side to side’ spraying motion)

SETUP

THINNING THE MATERIAL

Before spraying, the material being used may need to be thinned with the proper solvent as specified by the material manufacturer. Never exceed the thinning advice given by the coating manufacturer.

If thinning is necessary, use water or paint conditioner (such as Paint Easy™) for water-based materials, mineral spirits for oil-based materials. Never exceed the thinning advice given by the coating manufacturer.

**** Do not thin with materials that have a flashpoint below 100°F (38°C).

SETUP

**** NEVER point the spray gun at any part of the body.
Make sure the power cord is unplugged.

1. Stir the spraying material thoroughly. Fill the container. Use a strainer to remove any particles.
   

2. Align the pickup tube – A If spraying downward, the angled end of the pickup tube should be pointing toward the front of the nozzle. B If spraying upward, the angled end of the pickup tube should be pointing toward the rear of the nozzle. Make sure the pickup tube is inserted as far as it will go to ensure a tight fit.
   

3. Carefully screw the cup back onto the nozzle assembly. Tighten firmly.

4. Align the arrow on the nozzle with the “unlock” symbol on the spray gun handle.
   

5. Insert and twist the nozzle into the handle toward the “lock” symbol on the handle. The tab below the trigger will lock the two pieces into place.
   

6. Insert the air hose tightly into the air hose port in the Power Box.Turn the Power Box switch ON (I). Turn switch on handle to ON (I). The turbine will not run until handle switch is set to ON (l).

Attention If the unit has already been used, make sure the nozzle seal is in place (see page 8).Do not pull trigger at any time if the turbine is not running. Paint will drip from the nozzle.

SPRAYING

It is important to keep your arm moving whenever the gun is being triggered. If you pause or linger in one spot too long, too much material will be sprayed to the surface

• Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON (I) to turn on the turbine. No material will spray until the trigger is activated. A) Position the spray gun perpendicular to and 6-8 inches from the spray surface, depending upon the spray pattern size desired. With reduced material flow and air power, you can get closer to the spraying surface.
• Spray parallel to the surface with smooth passes at a consistent speed as illustrated. Doing this will help avoid irregularities in the finish (i. e. runs and sags). B) Flex your wrist as you move in order to keep gun parallel to the surface. C) Generally, high material flow and air power are needed for spraying large surface areas, such as walls and decks.
• The air cap position will determine the movement direction of the spray gun.
• When spraying, overlap each spray pass by at least 50% This will ensure full coverage.
• Always apply a thin wet coat of material on the first pass and allow to dry before applying a second, slightly heavier coat. D) Generally, low material flow and air power are needed for spraying smaller surface areas, such as corners, lattice, or spindles.
• For this type of project, reduce air power, material flow and switch to a narrow width when using the iSpray nozzle, or use the Detail Finish nozzle.
• When spraying, always trigger the spray gun after spray pass has begun and release trigger before stopping the pass. Always keep the gun pointed squarely at the spray surface and overlap passes slightly to obtain the most consistent and professional finish possible.
• Frequently wipe the nozzle tip with a damp rag when spraying to remove dried material.

CLEANUP

When cleaning, use the appropriate cleaning solution (warm, soapy water for water-based coatings, and mineral spirits for oil-based coatings.

**** Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable solvents (must have a flashpoint above 100˚F (38˚C):

• Always flush spray gun outside.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Cleaning area must be well-ventilated.
• Do not submerge turbine!

For basic quick-cleaning between color changes, fill the material container with cleaning solution and spray the cleaning solution through the gun and into a waste containe

1. Turn turbine OFF. Remove the air hose from the turbine.

2. Separate the handle from the nozzle. Remove the container and empty any remaining material. Thoroughly rinse the container with warm, soapy water (or mineral spirits for oil-based materials).

3. Disassemble the spray gun and clean all parts with warm soapy water (or mineral spirits for oil-based materials).
   

4. Clean the air vent (a) on the suction tube with a soft bristled cleaning brush.

5. Clean the rear of the nozzle (b) with the appropriate cleaning solution. Use a thin layer of petroleum jelly to lubricate the O-ring (c).

6. Reassemble the spray gun.
   

When replacing the nozzle seal, make sure the groove (d) in the seal is facingoutward.
Make sure the tab (e) in the spray gun head is aligned with one of the notches (f) in the nozzle.

Attention
If you cleaned the sprayer using mineral spirits, repeat steps 1-5 using warm, soapy water.

MAINTENANCE

REPLACING THE FILTE

Attention
Before every use, you should inspect the air filters in the turbine to see if it is excessively dirty. If it is dirty, follow thesez steps to replace it.

Never operate your unit without the air filters. Dirt could be sucked in and interfere with the function of the unit.
