place finger on gun outlet. Do not point the gun at
any person. Never operate the spray gun without the
proper tip guard.
1. Follow the "Pressure Relief Procedure" found in the Operation
section of this manual.
2. If the tip clogs, rotate the tip handle 180º until the arrow on
the handle is facing the opposite of the spray direction and
the handle stops in the reverse position.
3. Trigger the gun once into a waste container so that the
pressure can blow the clog out. NEVER use the tip in the
reverse position for more than ONE trigger pull at a time. This
procedure can be repeated until the tip is free of clogging.
