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 (corded) 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.

Spray Tip Selection
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
16 to determine the range of recommended
tip hole sizes for each fluid type. If you need
a tip other than the one supplied, see How to
NOTE: For proper sprayer operation use only a tip from the same tip family that came with
your sprayer. See Tip Family , page 16.
Hints:
• 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.
Fan Width
Fan width is the size of the spray pattern, which determines the area covered with each stroke.
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.
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.
Cleaning Fluid
Compatibility
Water-Based Materials
• When spraying water-based materials, flush the system thoroughly with water.
• To spray water-based materials, flush the system thoroughly with water first.
The water flowing out of tip should be clear and clean before you begin spraying the water-based material.
• To avoid fluid splashing back on your skin or into your eyes, always aim gun at inside wall of pail.

Inspect enclosure vents for blockage.
Daily or each time you spray
Daily or each time you spray
Inspect pump inlet holes located under pump filter for blockage. Each time the sprayer is cleaned
Cleaning Outlet Valves
Dirt and debris in the outlet valve assemblies may affect sprayer performance and require cleaning.
1.
To clean the three outlet valves, remove two pump plugs and front valve. Remove pump plugs with 8mm or 5/16” allen wrench.
2.
Clean outlet valve assemblies with warm water.
3.
Check ball should move freely against the spring in the retainer.
4.
If outlet valve assembly was removed from the valve plug, assemble as shown.
Leave a space between the end of the plug or front valve and shoulder on the outlet valve assembly.
NOTICE
Do not push outlet valves all the way into the valve plugs or front valve. If outlet valves are pushed all the way into the valve plugs or front valve the sprayer will spray with reduced performance.
a.
Make certain o-rings are on the valve plugs and front valve.
b.
Install two pump plugs and front valve. Install pump plugs with 8mm or 5/16” allen wrench. Torque outlet valve and pump plugs, see page 30 for torques.
