WARNING
• Hazardous vapors: Paints, solvents,
insecticides, and other
materials may be harmful if
inhaled, causing severe
nausea, fainting, or
poisoning.
• Always wear a mask or respirator and
eye protection when painting. Be certain
mask or respirator will provide necessary
protection against inhalation of harmful
vapors.
• NEVER point the spray gun at any part
of the body, or at anyone else.
!
CAUTION
• Tipping the gun may cause the gun to
clog. Dried spray material clogs the
pressure delivery tube and fittings. The
spray gun does not function when
clogging occurs.
• When not in use, be sure to disconnect
the hose and place the gun on a solid,
level surface or in the turbine gun
storage area to avoid tipping.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be properly
grounded. In the event of an electrical
short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electrical shock by providing an
alternate path for the electrical
current.
This product is equipped with a cord
that has a ground wire and an
appropriate ground plug. Plug the unit
into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in
accordance with local codes
and ordinances.
!
DANGER
Improper installation
of the ground plug can result in the risk of
electrical shock. If repair or replacement
of the plug or cord is necessary, consult an
authorized service provider.
1. For any questions regarding proper
installation of the ground plug,
consult a qualified (licensed or
certified) electrician.
2. Do not modify the plug provided. If
the plug does not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
3. This product is for use on a nominal
120-volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug in
Figure 1. Make sure that the
product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as
the plug. No adapters should be
used with this product.
4. If an extension cord is required, use
only a three wire extension cord
that has the same configuration as
the unit cord, including the (round)
ground terminal. Make sure that
the extension cord is plugged into a
properly grounded receptacle.
5. When using an extension cord, be
sure it is in good condition and
heavy enough to meet the
specifications in the chart below. If
