LX-50 High Capacity Spray Gun Instruction Sheet Important Safety Instructions • • Read all safety information before operating the equipment. Save these instructions. • • 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. • • WARNING: EXPLOSION OR FIRE Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite. Property damage and/ or severe injury can occur. • PREVENTION: • 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. • For units intended for use with only water-based or mineral spirit-type materials with a minimum flash point of 38ºC (100ºF) — Do not spray or clean with liquids having a flash point of less than 38ºC (100ºF). Flash point is the temperature at which a fluid can produce enough vapor to ignite. • Use extreme caution when using materials with a flashpoint below 100ºF (38ºC). Refer to your pump manual to determine if these materials can be sprayed. • Paint or solvent flowing through the equipment is able to result in static electricity. Static electricity creates a risk of fire or explosion in the presence of paint or solvent fumes. All parts of the spray system, including the pump, hose assembly, spray gun and objects in and around the spray area shall be properly grounded to protect against static discharge and sparks. Use only conductive or grounded high-pressure airless paint sprayer hoses specified by the manufacturer. • Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to prevent static discharge. • Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extension cords (electric models only). Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter. • 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. • 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. • Do not smoke in the spray area. • Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products in the spray area. • Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other flammable materials. • Know the contents of the paint and solvents being sprayed. Read all Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and container labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and solvent manufacture’s safety instructions. • Place pump at least 25 feet (7.62 meters) from the spray object in a well ventilated area (add more hose if necessary). Flammable vapors are often heavier than air. Floor area must be extremely well ventilated. The pump contains arcing parts that emit sparks and can ignite vapors. • Plastic can cause static sparks. Never hang plastic to enclose spray area. Do not use plastic drop cloths when spraying flammable material. • Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working. • • • • • NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: Injection into the skin is a traumatic injury which can lead to possible amputation. It is important to treat the injury as soon as possible. DO NOT delay treatment to research toxicity. Toxicity is a concern with some coatings injected directly into the blood stream. Consultation with a plastic surgeon or reconstructive hand surgeon may be advisable. WARNING: GENERAL Can cause severe injury or property damage. PREVENTION: • Always wear appropriate gloves, eye protection, clothing and a respirator or mask when painting. • Do not operate or spray near children. Keep children away from equipment at all times. • Do not overreach or stand on an unstable support. Keep effective footing and balance at all times. • Stay alert and watch what you are doing. • Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol. • Do not kink or over-bend the hose. Airless hose can develop leaks from wear, kinking and abuse. A leak can inject material into the skin. • Do not expose the hose to temperatures or pressures in excess of those specified by manufacturer. • Do not use the hose as a strength member to pull or lift the equipment. • Use lowest possible pressure to flush equipment. • Follow 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 Standards should be consulted. • Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion or bulging of cover. Check for damage or movement of couplings. Immediately replace hose if any of those conditions exist. Never repair a paint hose. Replace with a conductive high-pressure hose. • Do not spray outdoors on windy days. • Always unplug cord from outlet before working on equipment (electric models only). WARNING: Injection injury A high pressure paint stream produced by this equipment can pierce the skin and underlying tissues, leading to serious injury and possible amputation. See a physician immediately. PREVENTION: • Do not aim the gun at, or spray any person or animal. • Keep hands and other body parts away from the discharge. For example, do not try to stop leaks with any part of the body. © Titan Tool Inc. All rights reserved. 0414 • Form No. 0523587C NEVER put your hand in front of the gun. Gloves will not provide protection against an injection injury. ALWAYS keep the tip guard in place while spraying. The tip guard provides some protection but is mainly a warning device. Only use a nozzle tip specified by the manufacturer. Use caution when cleaning and changing nozzle tips. In the case where the nozzle tip clogs while spraying, ALWAYS lock gun trigger, shut pump off, and release all pressure before servicing, cleaning tip or guard, or changing tip. Pressure will not be released by turning off the motor. The PRIME/SPRAY valve or pressure bleed valve must be turned to their appropriate positions to relieve system pressure. Refer to PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE described in the pump manual. Do not leave the unit energized or under pressure while unattended. When the unit is not in use, turn off the unit and relieve the pressure in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins into the body and cause serious bodily injury. In the event that injection occurs, seek medical attention immediately. Check hoses and parts for signs of damage, a leak can inject material into the skin. Inspect hose before each use. Replace any damaged hoses or parts. Only use TITAN original-high-pressure hoses in order to ensure functionality, safety and durability. This system is capable of producing 3000 PSI / 207 Bar. Only use replacement parts or accessories that are specified by the manufacturer and that are rated a minimum of 3000 PSI. This includes spray tips, nozzle guards, guns, extensions, fittings, and hose. Always engage the trigger lock when not spraying. Verify the trigger lock is functioning properly. Verify that all connections are secure before operating the unit. Know how to stop the unit and bleed pressure quickly. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls. Pressure will not be released by turning off the motor. The PRIME/SPRAY valve or pressure bleed valve must be turned to their appropriate positions to relieve system pressure. Refer to PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE described in the pump manual. Always remove the spray tip before flushing or cleaning the system. 1 Operating the High Pressure Spray Gun Cleaning the Filter This filter must be cleaned every time you use your sprayer. When using thicker paints, the filter might need to be cleaned more often. 1. Unclip the trigger guard from the filter housing by pulling outward from the filter housing. Unscrew the housing. The gun is designed for pressures up to 3000 PSI, 207 bar. POSSIBLE INJECTION HAZARD - Do not spray without the tip assembly in place. Never trigger the gun unless the tip is in either the spray or the unclog position. Always lock the trigger off when attaching the spray tip or when the spray gun is not in use. Locking the Spray Gun The gun is secured when the trigger lock is at a 90º angle (perpendicular) to the trigger in either direction. Filter top (tapered end) Trigger guard Filter Hole Housing Attaching the Tip Assembly 1. 2. Thread the spray guard assembly onto the gun. Tighten by hand. 3. Remove the filter from the spray gun housing and clean with the appropriate cleaning solution (warm, soapy water for latex paints, mineral spirits for oil-based materials). Inspect the filter for holes (see Hole picture, above). Replace if holes are found. important: Never poke the filter with a sharp instrument! 4. 5. Replace the cleaned filter, tapered end first, into the gun housing. Replace the housing and spring and snap the trigger guard back into the housing. Parts List Unclogging the Spray Tip Do not attempt to unclog or clean the tip with your finger. Do not use a needle or other sharp pointed instrument to clean the tip. The hard tungsten carbide is brittle and can be chipped. 2 4 The spray gun is equipped with a reversible tip which allows you to blow out any particles of old paint or other contaminants that may obstruct the paint flow through the tip. If the spray pattern becomes distorted or stops completely while the gun is triggered, follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 5 Follow Pressure Relief Procedure (see sprayer instruction manual) Rotate spray tip 180 degrees from its current position. Unlock the gun and squeeze the trigger, pointing the gun at a scrap piece of wood or cardboard. This allows pressure in the spray hose to blow out the obstruction. When the nozzle is clear, paint will come out in a straight, high pressure stream. Release the trigger and lock the gun off. Rotate spray tip forward to one of the SPRAY positions. Unlock the gun and resume spraying. 6 Cleaning the Gun important: If spraying with latex paint, use warm soapy water for cleaning. If using oil or alkyd-based paints, use mineral spirits or paint thinner. Refer to the paint manufacturer’s instructions for specific recomendations. Do not use mineral spirits or paint thinner on latex paint, or the mixture will turn into a jellylike substance which is difficult to remove. 1. 2. 3. 4. Check that the spray tip assembly has been removed from the gun. Run the appropriate solvent through the pump. Hold the metal part of the gun against a metal container to ground the gun. Trigger the gun into the container until it is flushed clean. Use the lowest possible pressure.
