WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Improper grounding, poor air ventilation, open flames, or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and
result in fire or explosion and serious injury.
D Ground the equipment and the object being sprayed. See Grounding on page 4.
D Provide fresh air ventilation to avoid the buildup of flammable fumes from solvent or the fluid being
sprayed.
D Extinguish all the open flames or pilot lights in the spray area.
D Electrically disconnect all the equipment in the spray area.
D Keep the spray area free of debris, including solvent, rags, and gasoline.
D Do not turn on or off any light switch in the spray area while operating or if fumes are present.
D Do not smoke in the spray area.
D Do not operate a gasoline engine in the spray area.
D If there is any static sparking while using the equipment, stop spraying immediately. Identify and
correct the problem.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
Spray from the gun, hose leaks, or ruptured components can inject fluid into your body and cause an
extremely serious injury, including the need for amputation. Splashing fluid in the eyes or on the skin
can also cause a serious injury.
D Fluid injected into the skin might look like just a cut, but it is a serious injury. Get immediate surgi-
cal treatment.
D Do not point the spray gun at anyone or at any part of the body.
D Do not put hand or fingers over the spray tip.
D Do not stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand, body, glove, or rag.
D Do not “blow back” fluid; this is not an air spray system.
D Always have the tip guard and the trigger guard on the spray gun when spraying.
D Be sure the gun trigger safety operates before spraying.
D Lock the gun trigger safety when you stop spraying.
D Follow the Pressure Relief Procedure on page 4 whenever you: are instructed to relieve pres-
sure; stop spraying; clean, check, or service the equipment; and install or clean the spray tip.
D Tighten all the fluid connections before operating the equipment.
D Check the hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn, damaged, or loose parts immediately.
Permanently coupled hoses cannot be repaired; replace the entire hose.

WARNING
PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD
WARNING
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Proper electrical grounding is essential
to reduce the risk of fire or explosion
which can result in serious injury and
property damage. Also read FIRE OR
EXPLOSION HAZARD on page 3.
The system pressure must be manually
relieved to prevent the system from
starting or spraying accidentally. To
reduce the risk of an injury from accidental spray
from the gun, splashing fluid, or moving parts,
follow the Pressure Relief Procedure whenever
you:
D are instructed to relieve the pressure,
D stop spraying,
1. Pump or Sprayer: as instructed in your separate
pump or sprayer manual.
D check or service any of the system equipment,
D or install or clean the spray nozzle.
2. Air compressor or hydraulic power supply: accord-
ing to local code.
1. Lock the gun trigger safety.
3. Fluid hoses: use only grounded hoses with a
maximum of 500 feet (150 m) combined hose
length to ensure grounding continuity.
2. Shut off the power supply to the pump and close
any bleed-type master air valves in the air supply.
3. Unlock the gun trigger safety.
4. Spray gun: obtain grounding through connection to
a properly grounded fluid hose and sprayer or
pump.
4. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a
grounded metal pail, and trigger the gun into the
pail to relieve pressure.
5. Fluid supply container: according to local code.
6. Object being sprayed: according to local code.
5. Lock the gun trigger safety.
6. Open the pump fluid drain valve (required in the
system), having a container ready to catch the
drainage.
7. All solvent pails used when flushing, according to
local code. Use only metal pails, which are con-
ductive. Do not place the pail on a non-conductive
surface, such as paper or cardboard, which inter-
rupts the grounding continuity.
7. Leave the drain valve open until you are ready to
spray again.
If you suspect that the spray tip or hose is completely
clogged, or that pressure has not been fully relieved
after following the steps above, very slowly loosen the
tip guard retaining nut or hose end coupling to relieve
pressure gradually, then loosen completely. Now clear
the tip or hose.
8. To maintain grounding continuity when flushing or
relieving pressure, always hold a metal part of the
gun firmly to the side of a metal pail, then trigger
the gun.

WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
Be sure your system has a bleed-type
master air valve (pneumatic pumps
9
only) and a fluid drain valve. These two
accessories help reduce the risk of serious injury,
including fluid injection, splashing in the eyes, or
on the skin, or injury from moving parts, if you are
adjusting or repairing the pump or gun.

4. WIth the gun safety latch engaged, unscrew the tip
guard (9) and install the tip (A) and gasket (B) in
the nut of the tip guard. Screw the assembly firmly
onto the gun. TIghten with a wrench. See Fig. 1.
1. The bleed-type master air valve relieves air
trapped between this valve and the pump after
the air regulator is shut off. Trapped air can
cause the pump to cycle unexpectedly.
NOTE: Failure to install the tip gasket (B) will result in
leaking.
2. The fluid drain valve assists in relieving fluid
pressure in the displacement pump, hose,
and gun; triggering the gun to relieve pressure
may not be sufficient.
5. Strain the fluid you are spraying if it contains
particles which could clog the spray tip.

Operation
WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of serious injury,
whenever you are instructed to relieve
pressure, follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure on page 4.
Safety Off
Whenever you stop spraying for a moment, en-
gage the gun safety latch. See Fig. 2.
WARNING
The wallet-sized warning card provided with this
gun should be kept with the operator at all times.
The card contains important treatment informa-
tion should an injection injury occur. Additional
cards are available at no charge from Graco Inc.
Safety On
1. Start the pump. Adjust the fluid pressure so the
spray is completely atomized. Always use the
lowest pressure necessary to get the desired
results. Higher pressure may not improve the
spray pattern and will cause premature tip and
pump wear.
2. If adjusting the pressure does not give a good
spray pattern, try another tip size. Be sure to relive
pressure completely before changing tips.
8122
Fig. 2
3. Use a full-open, full-close trigger action. Hold the
gun about 14 in. (350 mm) from and at right angles
to the work surface. Do not swing the gun in an
arc. Practice to find the best length and speed of
stroke.

Operation
Cleaning and Clearing the Spray Tip
WARNING
Clean off the front of the tip frequently during the day’s
operation and at the end of the work day. Always
relieve the pressure and use a solvent soaked brush
to clean the spray tip and to keep fluid buildup from
drying and clogging the spray tip.
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of serious injury,
whenever you are instructed to relieve
pressure, follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure on page 4.
If the spray tip clogs while spraying, release the spray
gun trigger, engage the trigger safety, shut off the
pump, and relieve the pressure. Then, remove the air
spray tip and blow out the obstruction with air from the
front of the spray tip, or let the spray tip and gun
nozzle soak long enough to dissolve the obstruction. If
the obstruction will not dissolve, jar it out by tapping
the back of the spray gun against a flat surface.
Adjust the Spray Pattern
1. To adjust the spray pattern, relieve the pressure.
Engage the safety latch and loosen the tip guard
retaining nut. Turn the spray tip so the groove is
horizontal for a horizontal spray pattern, and
vertical for a vertical pattern. Tighten the nut.
CAUTION
2. The spray tip orifice size and spray angle deter-
mines the coverage and size of pattern. When
more coverage is needed, use a larger spray tip
rather than increasing fluid pressure.
Never soak the entire gun in solvent. Prolonged
exposure to solvent can ruin the packings.
Flushing the Gun

grounded. Refer to Grounding on page
4. Relieve the pressure and remove the spray
tip from the gun. Always use the lowest possible
fluid pressure, and maintain firm metal-to-metal
contact between the gun and the pail during flush-
ing to reduce the risk of a fluid injection injury,
static sparking, and splashing.
CAUTION
Openings in the tip guard are designed to reduce
paint buildup on the guard while spraying. Any
damage to the sharp edges of the openings causes
paint to collect at that area. To reduce the risk of
damage, never hang the gun by the tip guard.
Relieve the pressure, remove the spray tip, and then
flush the gun and spray system with a compatible
solvent. Always flush the gun before the fluid being
sprayed can dry in it.
