How to Set Up
Your Craftsman spray gun is shipped
completely assembled, and set-up for
siphon feed spraying.
Prior to shipment, this gun was treated
with an anticorrosive agent. Before
using this gun flush it with a suitable
solvent (mineral sprits is a suitabte
solvent).
To Flush Spray Gun Before Use
1. Removethe matehat cup from
lid/gun assembly. NOTE: Slide
release lever to the right, rotate
lid, and remove material cup.

How To Connect Spray Gun to
Air Supply
t. Attach air supply line to 1/4 NPT
air inlet. NOTE: A 318" diameter
air hose is recommended for the
best atomized air pressure. If
using a 1/4" or 5/16"diameter air
hose the air pressure must be set
at the regulator to allow for the
drop in air pressure from the
regulator to spray gun.

Ideal Set Up
Before Using Spray Gun
This gun is designed
for use with most
finishing materials. It is not
designed for use with corrosive or
highly abrasive materials. Using
these materials can lead to poor
performance and/or failure of this
product.
1. Mix material according the
masufacturer's instructions.
Mixture should be smooth and
easity pourabIe. Lumps or foreign
particlas should be removed by
straining through a suitabte paint
fitter. NOTE: Using a Sears
Visceeimeter witl help in
measuring the viscosity or
thickness of the matedat.
For Siphon Feed Connection
1. Removethe matedat cup from
lid/gun assembly. NOTE: Stide
release lever to the right, rotate
tid, and remove material cup.

2, Fill the material cup 3/4 full.
3, Attach material cup to the tidigun
assembly and slide release lever
to the left to secure in ptace.
NOTE: When repiacing iidigun
assembly make sure bend in matedat
tube is positioned to the front of the
spray gun as shown.

To Convert to Remote Pressure
Feed
If the material to be sprayed is too
heavy for siphon feed or higher
volume appIication is desired, convert
to the pressure feed set up,
1. Remove the material cup from
lid/gun assembly. NOTE: Stide
release lever to the right, rotate
lid, and remove material cup.
2. Siide yoke, with buiit in socket
feature, over nut. Grip the yoke
and turn to loosen nut, after the
nut is loosened hand turn untit tid
assembly can be removed from
gun.
3. The gun is now ready to be
connected to any pressure feed
tank with a standard 3/8" straight
pipe femate connection. See
paint tank manufacturer's manuat
for correct procedure.
4. See "Operation" Section to tearn
how to use the spray gun.
NOTE: When replacing lid assembly to
gun assembly hand tighten nut and
then slide yoke over nut to tighten
securely.

_ Before
disassembly or re-
moval of any part of gun or attached
components, shut off compressor,
release pressure by depressing
trigger, and disconnect power
source. NEVER assume system
pressure is zero!
_!]_ Prior to daily
operation, make
certain that all connections and fit-
tings are secure. Check hose and all
connections for a weak or worn
condition that could render system
unsafe. All replacement components
such as hose or fittings must have a
working pressure equal to or greater
than system pressure.
_TO AVOID CREATING

Before Using Your Spray
Gun
1. Set up spray gun as described
in the "How to Set Up Spray
Gun" paragraph in the
"AssembIy" section of this
manual.
To Use Spray Gun
1. The position of the air cap horns
wilt determine the fan spray
pattern. Loosen air cap and rotate
horns to achieve desired pattern.
Tighten air cap.

2. Turn fluid control knob clockwise
untit it stops, do not force. This
wilt shut off the fluid flow. NOTE:
The fluid or density of "fan spray"
is contretied by fluid control
knob.
3. Turn pattern control knob
counteretockwise untit first thread
is flush with gun body. NOTE: Air
flew is contreIted by pattern con-
trol knob.
_DO NOT turn pattern
control knob counter clockwise after
first thread is flush with the gun
body. They are under pressure when
the gun is triggered and could leave
the gun with force.

according to
viscosity of material used. Maximum
working pressure of gun is 45 psi.
DO NOT EXCEED PRESSURE LIMIT
OF GUN OR ANY OTHER COMPO-
NENT IN SYSTEM!
6. Depress spray gun trigger and
gradually turn the fluid contret
knob counterclockwise until
desired fluid flow is reached.
Tngger gun quickly, one second
on-off to test pattern.
NEVER point spray
gun at self or any
other person. Accidental discharge
of material may result in serious
injury.
To adjust spray pattern and fluid
pressure:
• TOadjust the fluid, turn fluid con-
troi knob counterclockwise to in-
crease or clockwise.
• To adjust the air flow, turn pattern
contret knob counteretockwise to
increase or clockwise to de-
crease.
• To fine tune the air flew, turn air
vatve control knob counterclock-
wise to increase, or clockwise to
decrease.
IMPORTANT: Always clean gun after
each use. See "Maintenance" section
for correct procedure.

Operating Tips
To reduce overspray and obtain
maximum efficiency, always spray
with the towest possible fluid/air
pressure,
• Hold the gun perpendicular to the
surface, 4_'to 6 _'distance,
• Two thin coats witl produce a
better finish than one heavy coat,
• Mask off areas not being
sprayed.
• FoIIow contour.
• Overtap each stroke 50%.
• Ends are feathered by triggering.
That is, begin stroke before
puiiing trigger and reieasing just
before ending the stroke•
• Spray edges and corners first.
This witl reduce overspray while
providing good coverage on
corners.
Correct Spraying
Don't are strokes, move the gun
paraiieI to work.
Pattern should be
shaped as shown, if not
see "Troubleshooting"
section.
Care should be exer-
cised when handling spray gun to
avoid damage to the orifice of the
air cap and tip of fluid nozzle.
Damage to these parts results in
irregular spray patterns.
Practice on a cardboard target to
make sure pattern size and
material consistency are correct
before spraying on actual project.
