SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

| Be safety-conscious! All local and national regulations governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation must be observed.
---|---
| HAZARD: INJECTION INJURY
A high-pressure stream produced by this equipment can pierce the skin and underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible amputation. See a physician immediately.
DO NOT TREAT AN INJECTION INJURY AS A SIMPLE CUT! The injection can lead to amputation. See a physician immediately. Inform the physician of the type of coating material or cleaning agent with which the injury was caused.
The maximum operating range of the spray gun is 25 MPa / 3600 PSI fluid pressure.

  • NEVER aim the gun at any part of the body.
  • NEVER allow any part of the body to touch the fluid stream. DO NOT allow the body to touch a leak in the fluid hose.
  • NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not provide protection against an injection injury.
  • Never point the spray gun at anyone else.
  • ALWAYS lock the gun trigger, shut the pump off, and release all pressure before servicing, cleaning the tip or guard, changing tip, or leaving it unattended. Pressure will not be released by turning off the motor. The PRIME/SPRAY valve must be turned to PRIME to relieve the pressure. Refer to the Pressure Relief Pressure described in the pump manual.
  • ALWAYS keep the tip guard in place while spraying. The tip guard provides some protection but is mainly a warning device.
  • ALWAYS remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning the system.
  • The paint hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking, and abuse. A leak can inject material into the skin. Inspect the hose before each use.
  • NEVER use a spray gun without a trigger lock and trigger guard in place and in good working order.
  • All accessories must be rated at or above the maximum operating pressure range of the airless sprayer. This includes spray tips, extensions, and hoses.

| HAZARD: EXPLOSION HAZARD DUE TO INCOMPATIBLE materials will cause severe injury or property damage.
---|---

  • Do not use materials containing bleach or chlorine.
  • Do not use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents such as bleach, mildewcide, methylene chloride, and 1,1,1 – trichloroethane. They are not compatible with aluminum.
  • Contact your coating material supplier about the compatibility of the material with aluminum.

| HAZARD: GENERAL
This product can cause severe injury or property damage.
---|---

  • Read all instructions and safety precautions before operating equipment.

  • Never spray near sources of ignition; e.g. open flames, cigarettes — also cigars and pipes are sources of ignition —, sparks, hot wires, and hot surfaces, etc.

  • Wear respiratory equipment when spraying. The operator must be provided with a protective mask.
    In order to prevent work-related illness, the manufacturer’s regulations for the materials, solvents, and cleaning agents used must be observed when preparing, working with, and cleaning the unit. Protective clothing, gloves, eyewear, and, in certain cases, protective skin cream are necessary to protect the skin.

  • Follow the coating material and solvent manufacturer’s warnings and instructions.

  • Extraction equipment should be installed by the user in accordance with local regulations.

  • The objects being sprayed must be earthed.

  • Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion, or bulging of cover. Check for damage or movement of couplings. Immediately replace the hose if any of these conditions exist. Never repair a paint hose. Replace it with another grounded high-pressure hose.

  • Pulling the trigger causes a recoil force to the hand that is holding the spray gun. The recoil force of the spray gun is particularly powerful when the tip has been removed and high pressure has been set on the airless high-pressure pump. Therefore, when cleaning without a tip set the pressure control valve to the lowest pressure.

  • Use only manufacturer authorized parts. The user assumes all risks and liabilities when using parts that do not meet the minimum specifications and safety devices of the spray gun manufacturer.

| EXPLOSION PROTECTION IDENTIFICATION
---|---

X MARKING:
The spray gun corresponds with Ex II 2G IIC c T6 X and is, in accordance with Directive 2014/34/EU, suitable for use in explosion-hazardous areas—as of type Zone 1. Under certain circumstances, the unit itself may cause the Zone 1 condition to be in effect.
Any static-electricity discharge from the spray gun is to be diverted to the grounded high-pressure pump via the conductive high-pressure hose as stipulated.

INTRODUCTION

This airless spray gun is to be used for the high-pressure atomization of liquid coating materials.

USING THE GUN TRIGGER LOCK
Always engage the gun’s trigger lock when the gun is not in use.

  1. To lock the trigger, push in the trigger lock from left to right, when looking at the rear of the gun.
  2. To unlock the trigger, push the trigger lock from right to left, when looking at the rear of the gun.

| NEVER point the spray gun at yourself.
---|---

SETUP

| Never attempt to assemble, change, or clean the gun, tip, or tip guard without first relieving pressure from the spray system. Follow the “Pressure Relief Procedure” in the sprayer’s Owner’s Manual.
---|---
| Always use a tip safety guard for added protection against injection. Beware that the guard alone will not prevent injection. Never cut off tip guard! Always engage gun trigger lock when the gun is not in use. Before servicing equipment, consult Owner’s Manuals and follow all warnings.

  1. Set up the sprayer. Refer to the instructions in the sprayer’s Owner’s Manual.
  2. Attach a grounded, airless spray hose to the material inlet on the gun. Using two wrenches (one on the gun and one on the hose), tighten securely.
  3. With the tip and tip guard off the gun, start the sprayer. Flush and prepare the spray system according to the sprayer’s Owner’s Manual. Inspect the spray system to make sure that all fittings are secure and that there are no leaks.
  4. Perform the “Pressure Relief Procedure” described in the sprayer’s Owner’s Manual.
  5. Using the end of the spray tip (5), insert the tip seal (3) and seal (4) into the back of the tip guard (2). Press in for a final adjustment.
  6. Insert the tip (1) into the slot on the tip guard.
  7. Thread the tip guard onto the gun. Position the tip guard in the desired spraying position, then tighten securely.

| The arrow on the tip handle should be pointing in the forward direction for spraying.
---|---

OPERATION

  1. Make sure the arrow on the tip handle is pointing in the forward direction for spraying.
  2. Start the sprayer. Refer to the instructions in the sprayer’s Owner’s Manual.
  3. Adjust the fluid pressure on the sprayer until the spray is completely atomized. Always spray at the lowest pressure necessary to get the desired results.
    | The spray tip determines the size of spray pattern and coverage.
    When more coverage is needed, use a larger tip instead of increasing fluid pressure.
    ---|---
  4. To clear a clogged tip:
    a. Rotate the tip 180º so that the arrow on the tip handle is pointing opposite the spray direction.
    b. Trigger the gun once so that the pressure can blow the clog out. Attention| Never pull the trigger more than once with the tip in the reverse position.
    ---|---

c. Continue this procedure until the tip is clear of the clog.

CHANGING A TIP

Tips can be removed and replaced easily without disassembling the gun.

| Never attempt to change or clean the tip or tip guard without first performing the “Pressure Relief Procedure.”
---|---

  1. Perform the “Pressure Relief Procedure” described in the sprayer’s Owner’s Manual.
  2. Remove the tip from the slot on the tip guard.
  3. Insert the new tip into the slot on the tip guard. The arrow on the tip handle should be pointing in the forward direction for spraying.

REMOVING THE SEAL AND TIP SEAL

  1. Remove the tip (1) from the tip guard (2).
  2. Insert the tip handle through the front of the tip guard.
  3. Push the tip seal (3) and tip seal retainer (4) out through the back of the tip guard.

IDENTIFYING TIP SIZES

To identify tip sizes, use the following formula. A “517” tip size will be used in this example.
The first digit multiplied by two represents the size of the spray patter when spraying 12” away from the work surface: 5 x 2 = 10” spray pattern
The second two digits represent the diameter of the orifice on the tip: 17 = .017” orifice

| Worn spray tips will adversely affect the spray pattern and result in reduced production, poor finish, and wasted material. Replace worn tips immediately.
---|---

CLEANUP

Maintaining a clean gun is important to ensure trouble-free operation. Flush the gun after each use and store in a dry location. Do not leave the gun or any of its parts in water or solvents.

| Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable solvents:
---|---

  • Always flush the spray gun preferably outside and at least one hose length from the spray pump.
  • If collecting flushed solvents in a one-gallon metal container, place it into an empty five-gallon container, then flush solvents.
  • The area must be free of flammable vapors.
  • Follow all cleanup instructions.

Attention| The sprayer, hose, gun, and gun filter should be cleaned thoroughly after daily use. Failure to do so permits material to cake, seriously affecting the performance of the unit.
---|---
| Always spray at the lowest possible pressure when the tip and tip guard has been removed. To clean the airless gun, hose, and spray device, use only water or a suitable solvent. Static electricity buildup may result in a fire or explosion in the presence of flammable vapors. Hold the gun firmly against a metal container while flushing.
---|---
