FIRE AND EXPLOSION
1. Never use the following HALGOGENATED HYDROCARBON SOLVENTS:
which can cause cracks or dissolution of gun body (aluminium) due to
chemical reaction. UNSUITABLE SOLVENTS: methyl chloride, dichloromethane, 1.2-dichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene,
1.1.1-trichloroethane
2. Sparks and open flames are strictly prohibited. Paints can be highly
flammable and can cause fire.Do not expose to open flames, electrical
goods, cigarettes etc.
3. Securely ground spray gun using conductive air hose. (Less than 1MÙ )

Noise level can exceed 85dB(A), depending on operating conditions and
painting site.
4. Pulling the trigger many times during operation, may cause carpal
tunnel syndrome. Always rest, in case of tiredness.
IMPROPER USE
1. Never point gun towards people or animals.
2. Never exceed maximum working pressure or maximum operating
Temperature
3. Always release air and fluid pressure b efore cleaning, disassembling
or servicing.Otherwise, remaining pressure can cause bodily injury due
to improper operation or scattering of cleaning liquid.
4. Tip of fluid needle s et has a sharp point.
Do not touch the tip during maintenance to avoid accidents.
5. Never use this gun to spray foods o r chemicals.

preventive oil.
1. Firmly connect an air hose to air nipple 1/4”.
2. Firmly connect a suitable cup to fluid nipple.
3. Flush fluid passages with a compatible solvent.
4. Pour paint into container, test spray, adjust fluid output and pattern width.
HOW TO OPERATE
Suggested atomizing air pressure is 2.0 to 3.0 bar (29 to 44 PSI) at gun
inlet.
Recommended paint viscosity differs according to paint property and
painting conditions. 12 to 23 sec. / Ford cup#4 is recommended.
Set the spray distance from the gun to the work piece, as near as possible within the range of 100-200 mm (3.9-7.9 in).
MAINTENANCE & INSPECTION
