Introduction
This airless spray gun is to be used for the high pressure atomization of liquid coating materials.
The spray gun corresponds with Ex II 2G X and is, in accordance with Directive 94/9/EEC
(Atex 100a), 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.
X marking: 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.
To avoid the generation of machine sparks, prevent impact stresses and any work on the unit with
tools in the explosion-hazardous area.
Using the Gun Trigger Lock
Always engage the gun’s trigger lock when the gun is not in use.
1. To lock the trigger, rotate the trigger lock forward until it stops.

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.

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 a pen or similar object, insert the tip seal and seal into
the back of the tip guard. Press in for final adjustment.
6. Insert the tip 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.
