The following steps and recommendations should be
followed to get the best results from your spray gun:
1. Connect high pressure airless fluid hose to the
gun fluid inlet and tighten securely.
2. With nozzle tip removed, start pump slowly
and direct spray gun into material container and
pull trigger until fluid flows steadily from gun.
3. Release trigger. Install nozzle tip per safety
procedure.
!
WARNING
UNDER NO circumstances should the spray gun be carelessly handled nor its spray (even when nozzle is
removed) directed at close proximity to any part of the
human body. If you spray yourself or anyone else at
close range, the stream of material can puncture the
skin and cause great harm (possible amputation).

4. Increase pressure of pump and test spray
pattern for proper atomization.
NOTE
Excessive fluid pressure will distort the spray pattern.
A simple rule to remember is “When the pattern is right,
the pressure is right”.
5. Spray gun distance from work surface should
be at a point where maximum fan pattern is
evident. This distance is normally 8 to 14
inches.
6. “Hour-glass” and “tails” on spray patterns
normally indicate too low a fluid pressure for
the nozzle tip orifice size, or the material is
too viscous or thick.
7. Distorted spray patterns may be the result of
excess fluid pressure, plugging of tip, or a
worn tip.
8. Airless spray guns are either ON or OFF. You
cannot “feather” with airless guns as you can
with air atomized equipment.
9. Successive strokes may not require over-lapping
as much as with air atomized spray because
of the heavier pattern edges produced by
airless spraying.
10. Spray strokes with airless spray guns will be
faster because of the higher fluid output.
Your new Binks Airless 1M spray gun has been thoroughly tested before leaving the factory. No adjustment is
required prior to spray operations other than installing
the nozzle tip.

Warning
!
MEDICAL ALERT
Any injury caused by high pressure liquid can be serious. If you are
injured or even suspect an injury:
a) Go to an emergency room immediately.
b) Tell the doctor you suspect an injection injury.
c) Show the doctor this medical information or the medical alert
card provided with your airless spray equipment.
d) Tell the doctor what kind of fluid you were spraying or
dispensing.
e) Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet for specific
information.
TOXIC FLUID & FUMES
Hazardous fluid or toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if
splashed in the eyes or on the skin, inhaled, injected or swallowed.
LEARN and KNOW the specific hazards or the fluids you are using.
WEAR RESPIRATOR
Toxic fumes can cause serious injury or death if inhaled. Wear a
respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent
manufacturer’s Material Safety Data Sheet.
ELECTRIC SHOCK / GROUNDING
Improper grounding or sparks can cause a hazardous condition
and result in fire, explosion or electric shock and other serious
injury.
NOTE
Important installation, operation or
maintenance information.
PROJECTILE HAZARD
KEEP EQUIPMENT GUARDS IN PLACE
Do not operate the equipment if the safety devices have been
removed.
HIGH PRESSURE CONSIDERATION
High pressure can cause serious injury. Relieve all pressure before
servicing. Spray from the spray gun, hose leaks, or ruptured
components can inject fluid into your body and cause extremely
serious injury.
GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION
To prevent contact with the fluid, please note the following:
a) Never point the gun/valve at anyone or any part of the body.
b) Never put hand or fingers over the spray tip.
c) Never attempt to stop or deflect fluid leaks with your hand,
body, glove or rag.
d) Always have the tip guard on the spray gun before spraying.
e) Always ensure that the gun trigger safety operates before
spraying.
f) Always lock the gun trigger safety when you stop spraying.
PRESSURE RELIEF PROCEDURE
Always follow the pressure relief procedure in the equipment
instruction manual.
CA PROP
65
You may be injured by venting liquids or gases that are released
under pressure, or flying debris.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
Improper equipment grounding, poor ventilation, open flame or
sparks can cause hazardous conditions and result in fire or
explosion and serious injury.
STATIC CHARGE
Fluid may develop a static charge that must be dissipated through
proper grounding of the equipment, objects to be sprayed and all
other electrically conductive objects in the dispensing area. Improper
grounding or sparks can cause a hazardous condition and result in
fire, explosion or electric shock and other serious injury.

position through back of gun body assembly.
Tighten gland nut.
7. Reassemble items 13 through 17.
TO REPLACE PACKING (11)
1. Remove cartridge assembly following steps 1-4
under “To Replace Cartridge Assembly.”
2. Locate slot in packing gland (11), pry apart and
push off.
3. Replace with new packing gland, and reassemble.
TO ADJUST PACKING GLAND (11)
1. Shut off power supply to pump and release pressure
from gun. Remove gun from hose.
2. Use a 7/16" open-end wrench to turn gland nut
clockwise to eliminate any leakage at gland.
3. If sluggish trigger operation is noted, turn gland nut
counterclockwise in 1/16 turn increments until drag
is eliminated.
4. If leakage cannot be stopped without excessive drag
on trigger, replace packing.
TO REPLACE SEAT (5)
1. Shut off air or power supply to pump and release
pressure from gun. Remove gun from hose.
2. Remove tip guard assembly (1) and gasket (2).
3. Remove nut diffuser and attached parts (3, 4, 5).
Seat should drop out.

NEVER hold gun trigger when replacing tip. Always remove
fingers from trigger and HOLD BY GUN HANDLE ONLY.
NEVER attempt to rotate/remove/change tip when device is
pressurized and or when gun trigger is depressed. ALWAYS
engage trigger safety whenever removing cylinder tip
assembly.
MAINTENANCE/CLEANING
1. Cleanliness is important to assure trouble-free opera-
tion. Excessive purging can indicate a need for paint
filtering and/or service of existing filter.
2. Flush unit after each use, and before any expected
downtime. Adjust unit fluid pressure to lowest possible setting.
3. To store unit: Clean, disassemble and store dry.
AIRLESS TIP SELECTION
Proper Selection: Determined by fluid flow desired and
the spray pattern fan width required for the specific job.
Selected size should supply the desired amount of fluid
and pattern width with proper atomization and yet not
exceed the capacity of the fluid supply.
AIRLESS TWIST TIP CHART
Viscosity: Viscosity can be used as a guide and generally smaller orifice tips are desired for “light” viscosity
fluids. For heavy viscosities larger orifice tips are preferred. The chart below indicates orifice sizes with
appropriate fluids.
Orifice Size Material
.011 to .013 Lacquers and Stains
.015 to .019 Oil and Latex
.021 to .051 Heavy-Bodied Latex and Block
Filler
FAN WIDTH
Fan width is dictated by the job at hand, and personal
selection. However, an 8" to 12" pattern is preferred by
most painters and offers more spray control while less
likely to plug. A 14" to 16" pattern may find favor
with a more experienced painter and offer greater
production rates.
