Important User Information
Important User Information
Thank You for Your Purchase!
Before using your sprayer read this Owners Manual for complete instructions on proper use and
safety warnings.
Congratulations! You have purchased a high-quality paint sprayer made by Graco Inc.
This sprayer is designed to provide superior spray performance with all architectural paints
and coatings. This user information is intended to help you understand the types of
materials that can be used with your sprayer.
Before using this equipment, be sure to read and follow the information on your container
label and ask for a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) from your supplier. The container label and
SDS will explain the contents of the material and the specific precautions related to it.
Paints, coatings and clean-up materials generally fit into one of the following 3 basic
categories:
WATER-BASED: The container label should indicate that the material can be
cleaned up with soap and water. Your sprayer is compatible with this type of
material. Your sprayer is NOT compatible with harsh cleaners such as chlorine
bleach.
OIL-BASED: The container label should indicate that the material is
COMBUSTIBILE and can be cleaned up with mineral spirits or non-flammable
paint thinner. The SDS must indicate that the flash point of the material is above
100°F (38°C). Your sprayer is compatible with this type of material. Use oil-based
material outdoors or in a well-ventilated indoor area with a flow of fresh air. See
the safety warnings in this manual.
FLAMMABLE: This type of material contains flammable solvents such as xylene,
toluene, naphtha, MEK, lacquer thinner, acetone, denatured alcohol, and
turpentine. The container label should indicate that this material is FLAMMABLE.
Your sprayer is compatible with this type of material. Use flammable materials
outdoors or in a well-ventilated indoor area with a flow of fresh air. See the safety
warnings in this manual.

General Power Tool Safety Information
General Power Tool Safety Information
Read all safety warnings and all instructions.
Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated power tool.
Work Area Safety
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
Electrical Safety
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
•
•
•
•
•
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use
of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool.
•
•
•
•
•
•
Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting
to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control
of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

•
•
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting
the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Use the power tool, accessories etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Service
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Fan Width
Spray Tip Selection
Fan width is the size of the spray pattern,
which determines the area covered with each
stroke.
Selecting Tip Size
Hints:
Spray tips come in a variety of hole sizes for
spraying a range of fluids. Your sprayer
includes a tip for use in most paint spraying
applications. Use the coatings table on page
15 to determine the range of recommended
tip hole sizes for each fluid type. If you need
a tip other than the one supplied, see the How
to Spray, page 15.
NOTE: For proper sprayer operation use only
a tip from the same tip family that came with
your sprayer. See Tip Family, page 15.
Hints:
•
•
Select a fan width best suited to the
surface being sprayed.
•
Wider fans allow provide better
coverage on broad, open surfaces.
•
Narrower fans provide better control on
small, confined surfaces.
Understanding Tip Number
The last three digits of tip part number (i.e.:
xxx412) contains information about hole size
and fan width on surface when gun is held 12
in. (30.5 cm) from surface being sprayed.
As you spray, the tip wears and
enlarges. Starting with a tip hole size
smaller than the maximum will allow you
to spray within the rated flow capacity of
the sprayer.
•
Use larger tip hole sizes with thicker
coatings and smaller tip hole sizes with
thinner coatings.
•
Tips wear with use and need periodic
replacement.
•
Tip hole size controls flow rate - the
amount of paint that comes out of the
gun.
412 tip has 8-10 in.
(20-25 cm) fan width.
412 tip has a
0.012 in.
hole size.
ti29772a
First digit when doubled = approximate fan
width.
Last two digits = tip hole size in thousands of
an inch.
For an 8 to 10 in. (203 to 254 mm) fan width and
0.010 (0.25 mm) hole size, order Part No. …410.

Water-Based Materials
•
When spraying water-based materials,
flush the system thoroughly with water.
•
When spraying oil-based or flammable
materials, flush the system thoroughly
with mineral spirits or compatible,
flushing solvent.
•
To spray water-based materials after
spraying oil-based or flammable
materials, flush the system thoroughly
with water first. The water flowing out of
drain tube should be clear and solvent-free before you begin spraying the
water-based material.
•
To spray oil-based or flammable
materials after spraying water-based
materials, flush the system thoroughly
with mineral spirits or a compatible
flushing solvent first. The solvent flowing out of the drain tube should not contain any water. When flushing with
solvents always follow Static Grounding Instructions (Oil-Based or flammable materials), page 28.
To avoid fluid splashing back on your
skin or into your eyes, always aim gun at
inside wall of pail.
•
28
Static Grounding
Instructions (Oil-Based or
flammable materials)
The equipment must be grounded to
reduce the risk of static sparking. A static
spark can cause fumes to ignite or explode.
A good ground provides an escape wire for
the electric current.
Always use a metal pail for oil-based or
flammable materials when sprayer is flushed
or pressure is relieved.
Follow local code. Use only conductive metal
pails, placed on a grounded surface such as
concrete.
Do not place pail on a non-conductive surface
such as paper or cardboard which interrupts
grounding continuity.
