11. Always carry a tool by its handle, never carry the tool by the air hose.
12. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
The hose diameter should be 3/8" l.D.
13. Air tool CFM consumption ratings are based upon a 25% duty cycle. If you require continuous duty, a
larger compressor will be required (eg. 4.0 CFM tool at continuous duty requires 16.0 CFM to function at
maximum torque).
LUBRICATION
1. The texture gun is different from most air tools in that it does not require typical lubrication. Air tool oil
introduced in the gun could mix with the material to be plasted and clog the gun, which could damage the
tool. Do not use this tool on an air line which contains an automatic in-line lubricator.
2. After cleaning the gun, add a few drops of oil to the back of the air stem to lubricate the rear bushing
through the slot that holds the trigger stop in place. Then, turn the gun upside down, pull back the trigger
and apply some oil to the front part of the air stem to lubricate the front bushing.
Note:
It is very important to properly clean the gun after lubricating it, excess oil can cause clogging or create poor
quality work during the next use.
VIBRATION PRECAUTIONS
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor
and then have regular medical check ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused by or
worsened from tool use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hands,
past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes or Raynaud's Disease should not use this tool. If you
feel any medical symptoms related to vibrations (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek
medical attention as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood flow to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of
vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest amount of vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
5. Do not use for extended periods. Take frequent breaks when using this tool.
6. Let the tool do the work. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it).
7. To reduce vibrations, maintain tool as explained in this manual. If abnormal vibrations occur, stop using
this tool immediately.
8. This tool will not stop moving immediately. Do not lay the tool down or leave it unattended until it has
come to a complete stop. A part that is moving could make the tool jump or grab a surface and pull the tool
out of your control.
SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Do not utilize halogen-type hydrocarbon solvents (trichloromethyl or trichloroethylene, etc.) because
they can trigger chemical reactions with some of the materials in the paint spray gun and create the
risk of dangerous explosions.
2. Make sure that all the paint and solvent products used are compatible by cross-checking the
respective product technical safety cards.
3. Ground both the spray painting machine and the object to be painted in order to reduce the risk of
sparks caused by static electricity.
4. Only use this tool ina reas that are properly ventillated. Many paint products contain highly flammable
solvents or chemicals.
UNPACKING
1. Carefully remove the parts and accessories from the box.
2. Make sure that all items listed in the parts lists are included.
3. Inspect the parts carefully to make sure no breakage or damage occurred during shipping.
4. Do not discard the packaging material until you have carefully inspected and satisfactorily operated
the tool.
WARNING! If any part is missing, do not operate the tool until the missing parts are
replaced. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
