and the injury to persons, read and understand all
instructions included in this manual. Be familiar with the
controls and proper usage of the equipment.
haZaRD: GENERaL
Can cause severe injury or property damage.
PREvENTION:
• Read all instructions and safety precautions before operating any
equipment.
• Comply with all appropriate local, state and national codes
governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.
• The United States Government Safety Standards have been
adopted under the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
These standards, particularly Part 1910 of the General Standards
and Part 1926 of the Construction Standard should be consulted.
• This equipment is designed to be used with authorized parts only.
When using this equipment with parts that do not comply with
the minimum specifications and safety devices of the equipment
manufacturer, the user assumes all risks and liabilities.
• Check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion or bulging of cover, as
well as damage or movement of couplings before each use. If any
of these conditions exist, replace the hose immediately. Never
repair a paint hose.
• Never aim the spray gun at any part of the body.
haZaRD: SkIN BuRN INjuRy
Heated parts can cause severe skin burn injury.
PREvENTION:
• Quick-disconnect fittings on the hose and the spray gun become
hot during use. Avoid skin contact with any quick-disconnect
fittings when they are hot. Allow the quick disconnect fittings to
cool before disconnecting the spray gun from the hose
• The compressor becomes hot during use. Allow the compressor
to cool before touching it.
haZaRD: haZaRDOuS vaPORS
Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other materials can be
harmful if inhaled or come in contact with the body. Vapors
can cause severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.
PREvENTION:
• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that vapors
may be inhaled. Read all instructions with the mask to insure that
it will provide the necessary protection against the inhalation of
harmful vapors.
haZaRD: ExPLOSION
Compressed air has great force and may cause injury.
PREvENTION:
• The pressure pot assembly is protected from over-pressurizing
by a safety valve. Pull the ring on the safety valve occasionally
to make sure that the valve operates freely. The valve must be
replaced if it does not operate freely or if it does not release air
when the ring is pulled.
• Never modify the pressure pot or the compressor.
• Never connect other air tools to the compressor.

haZaRD: ExPLOSION OR FIRE
Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite. Property
damage and/or severe injury can occur.
PREvENTION:
• Exhaust and fresh air introduction must be provided
to keep the air within the spray area free from the
accumulation of flammable vapors.
• Keep the turbine at the maximum distance possible from the
spray area.
• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity sparks, open
flames, pilot lights, hot objects, cigarettes, and sparks caused by
connecting and disconnecting power cords and operating light
switches.
• Keep the motor away from spray area to avoid solvent and paint
fumes. Motor contains arcing parts which emit sparks.
• Fire extinguishing equipment must be present and in working
order.
• The power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.
• Follow the material and solvent manufacturer's safety precautions
and warnings.
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.

ImPORTaNT: 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 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.
NOTE: more than 100 feet of extension cord is not
recommended. use more paint hose, not more
extension cord. Shorter extension cords will assure
maximum electrical power for proper operation.
