IMPORTANT: READ BEFORE USING
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
?? CAUTION: Arcing parts. Keep the turbine at least 20 feet away from explosive vapors to avoid risk
of fire or explosion.
?? Never spray flammable materials near any source of open flame or spark.
?? Always spray in a properly ventilated area.
?? Never point the spray gun at anyone.
?? Always wear a spray mask and protective eyewear when spraying toxic substances.
IMPORTANT OPERATING TIPS
?? For simple Operating Instructions and Painting Tips, please refer to the laminated card supplied with
your system, attached to the handle of the turbine.
?? Most sprayable coatings must be diluted to be sprayed. Always follow the paint or coating
manufacturer’s instructions regarding thinning solvents and dilution ratios when preparing the coating
to be sprayed.
?? Select the appropriate Needle, Fluid Tip and Air Cap based on the coating being sprayed, the film
thickness required, and the application speed and finish required.
?? For optimum results, always test spraying distance, pattern size, coating thickness, Needle/Fluid Tip/
Air Cap combination and finish, on a sample of the surface to be coated.
?? When using a Cup Gun, do not turn the gun upside-down. The Pressure Feed Tube that pressurizes
the paint cup is internal and if blocked, will prevent the pressurization of the paint cup.
?? Make sure you clean your spray gun after each use as outlined in this manual. Proper cleaning is
essential to ensure the smooth operation of your system.
