Important Safety Information
Read all safety information before operating the equipment. Save these instructions.
WaRnInG - To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
To reduce the risks of fire or explosion, electrical shock 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.
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.
1. Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near an open flame, pilot lights or sources of ignition such as hot objects, cigarettes, motors, electrical equipment and electrical appliances. Avoid creating sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords.
2. For use with only water-based or mineral spirit-type materials with a minimum flash point of 21ºC (70º F) — Do not spray or clean with liquids having a flash point of less than 21ºC
(70º F). Flash point is the temperature at which a fluid can produce enough vapor to ignite.
3. Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to prevent static discharge.
4. Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extension cords (electric models only). Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.
5. Do not use a paint or solvent containing halogenated hydrocarbons. Such as chlorine, bleach mildewcide, methylene chloride and trichloroethane. They are not compatible with aluminum. Contact the coating supplier about compatibility of material with aluminum.
6. Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area to keep the air within the spray area free from accumulation of flammable vapors. Keep pump assembly in well ventilated area. Do not spray pump assembly.
7. Do not smoke in the spray area.
8. Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products in the spray area.
9. Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other flammable materials.

Before you Begin
This page contains information that is necessary in order to operate the sprayer properly.
Material Preparation:
• It is important to mix the material thoroughly before you begin. Do not shake the material to mix it. Always stir the material gently but thoroughly before use.
Spray Tip:
The spray tip included with your Power Painter comes equipped with Optimus™ dual-orifice technology. It is ideal for spraying both waterbased and oil-based paints and stains. The
Optimus™ spray tip eliminates the need to have different spray tips for different spray materials.
notice:
• Remove any skin that has formed on the top of the material. Do not mix the skin into the material. The skin can break up and clog the sprayer. Older materials may need to be strained.
The spray gun you have purchased will have some or all of the features and accessories shown here. Refer to the graphic, right, and the chart, below.
Thinning the Material:
• Always test spraying without thinning the material as thinning is not typically required.
• If you are spraying with a material that needs to be thinned, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Overspray:
Some sprayed materials create a cloud of paint.
Some of that cloud will spray past your intended object and also bounce off of it. Wind and air currents may cause this cloud to drift onto surfaces not intended to be sprayed. You can control the amount of overspray and bounce-back by adjusting your spray controls and moving the sprayer closer to the work piece, but always make sure that you have a good spray pattern. Always test your pattern on a scrap piece of wood or cardboard, and make sure that you have drop cloths protecting anything not being sprayed. anything you don’t want painted that is in the area of your spraying surface should be covered or removed.

Priming with the Remote Suction Hoses
Follow these steps if you plan to spray while using the remote suction hoses or the backpack kit.
• The time needed to prime will vary from 30 seconds to 3 minutes depending upon the thickness of the material you are spraying.
• If your sprayer is properly cleaned and oiled and it takes longer than three minutes to prime, your piston and/or pump housing may be worn and will need to be replaced before using your remote suction set.
• Using the remote suction hoses will decrease the material flow, so it will take longer to apply the same amount of material to the surface being sprayed.
• A 75% duty cycle is recommended when using the remote suction set. For example, trigger the gun for
15 seconds, and then allow the gun to remain idle
(untriggered) for 5 seconds.

IMPORTanT: always make sure the tip nut is tightened securely prior to spraying.
Priming with the Remte Suction Hoses:
1a. If equipped -
Turn the material select lever to ‘PAINT’.
1b. If equipped -
Press the ‘SELECT’ switch until the light indicates
‘PAINT’.
2. Hold the sprayer even with the level of the paint. This will speed up the priming.
3. Aim the sprayer at a piece of scrap wood or cardboard.
Squeeze the trigger and hold until all air is out of the system and material is flowing freely out of the sprayer tip. This could take up to three minutes.
IMPORTanT: The suction hose must remain completely submerged in the material. If it is not completely submerged and air is sucked into the system, the piston could seize.
If the piston seizes, the sound the gun makes will change to a low hum and the gun will quickly become hot to the touch. never run the sprayer when the piston is seized.
Should this happen, clean the piston and the pump housing thoroughly using the cleanup procedures found in this manual.

Replacement Parts notice:
Parts of your sprayer wear out with use and require regular replacement.
They include the atomizer valve, piston and spring. These parts are not covered by your sprayer warranty.
More abrasive materials such as latex paints and stains cause these parts to wear out faster than less abrasive materials such as oil-based paints and stains, thin stains and sealers.
atomizer valve:
The atomizer valve is shaped to cause the material to spin as it comes out of the sprayer. The spinning breaks the material up into a fine spray. As more material goes through the atomizer valve, it wears out the valve and the shape of the valve changes. When it changes too much to produce a good spray pattern, the valve needs to be replaced.

Piston and Spring:
The average life of a piston and spring will vary depending on the types of material being sprayed.
Replace the piston if the sprayer takes longer than 20 seconds with the suction tube to prime when well lubricated, or if there is an excess amount of material leaking, refer to the troubleshooting suggestions listed in this manual. Replace the spring if you notice that it is broken when you clean the sprayer.
To replace either the atomizer valve or the piston and spring, follow the
Cleanup instructions on page 14-15, and replace the old parts with new ones. When replaced, follow Reassembly instructions, (page 17).
