Parts Breakdown & Operating Manual
rev. 04/3/06
• During cleaning and flushing, solvents can be
forcefully expelled from fluid and air passages.
Some solvents can cause eye injury.
• Be sure all in the area are wearing
impact-resistant eye and face protection.
• Even small projectiles can injure eyes and
cause blindness.
• Air under pressure can cause severe injury.
Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air
pressure and disconnect tool from air supply
when not in use, before changing accessories or
when making repairs. Never direct air at
yourself or anyone else. Whipping hoses can
cause serious injury. Always check for damaged
or loose hoses and fittings. Never use quick
change couplings at tool. They add weight and
could fail due to vibration. Instead, add a hose
whip and connect coupling between air supply
and hose whip, or between hose whip and
leader hose. Do not exceed maximum air inlet
pressure of 43 PSI.
• Always use tool a safe distance from other
people in work area.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean and
oiled for best and safest performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Wiping or cleaning rags and other
flammable waste materials must be placed in a
tightly closed metal container and disposed of
later in the proper fashion.
• Do not wear loose or ill-fitting clothing; remove
watches and rings.
• Do not over reach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Slipping, tripping and
falling can be a major cause of serious injury
or death. Be aware of excess hose left on the
walking or work surface.
• Do not force tool. It will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.
• Do not abuse hoses or connectors. Never
carry tool by the hose or yank hose to
disconnect from air supply. Keep hoses from
heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hoses for weak
or worn condition before each use, making
certain that all connections are secure.
• High sound levels can cause permanent
hearing loss. Protect yourself from noise.
Noise levels vary with work surface.
Wear ear protection.
• When possible, secure work with clamps or
vise so both hands are free to operate tool.
• Repetitive work motions, awkward positions
and exposure to vibration can be harmful to
hands and arms.
• Avoid inhaling dust or handling debris from
work processes which can be harmful to your
health.
• Operators and maintenance personnel must be
physically able to handle the bulk, weight and
power of this tool.
• This tool is not intended for using in explosive
atmospheres and is not insulated for contact
with electric power sources.
• Solvent and coatings can be highly flammable or
combustible especially when sprayed. Adequate
exhaust must be provided to keep air free of
accumulations of flammable vapors.
• Smoking must never be allowed in the
spray area.
• Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in
the spray area.
• Never spray near sources of ignition such as pilot
lights, welders, etc.
• Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents — for
example, methylene chloride — are not
chemically compatible with the aluminum
that might be used in many system components.
The chemical reaction caused by these
solvents reacting with aluminum can become
violent and lead to an equipment explosion.
Guns with stainless steel fluid passages may
be used with these solvents. However,
aluminum is widely used in other spray
application equipment - such as material pumps,
cups and regulators, valves, etc. Check all other
equipment items before use and make sure they
can also be used safely with these solvents.
Read the label or data sheet for the material
you intend to spray. If in doubt as to whether or
not a coating or cleaning material is compatible,
contact your material supplier.
• Sprayed materials may be harmful if inhaled, or
if there is contact with the skin. Adequate
exhaust must be provided to keep the air free
of accumulations of toxic materials. Use a mask
or respirator whenever there is a chance of
inhaling sprayed materials. The mask must be
compatible with the material being sprayed and
its concentration.
