GENERAL INFORMATION

SPRAY GUN
This versatile Craftsman Spray Gun is shipped ready for use
with any larger air compressors delivering at least 7 0 SCFM
at 40 PSI, It is a non-bleeder gun, which is compatible with
Sears and most other modern compressors,, Non-bleeder
guns require air from an air compressor having an air
regulator and an automatic start/stop pressure switch or an
automatic pressure unloader. The gun has a built-in air valve
which shuts offthe air flow through the gun when the trigger
is reteased_
The cup provided with this gun is designed for suction feed
only, which makes it ideal for applying light and medium
bodied paints (stain, lacquer) to large size jobs such as
complete auto refinishing. However, this gun can also be
used with a remote pressure feed paint tank (see page 5) for
spraying on larger painting applications,
Suction Cup Removal - * The Sipon Feed Cup supplied
with this gun has a built in socket feature in the top of the
yoke. This allows the lid and tube assembly to be removed
from the gun without using a 3/4" wrench.
To use this feature, remove the paint cup and lift the yoke
over the nut The yoke will fit over the nut similiar to a 12
point socket Gripping the outer portions of the yoke and
turning allows the nut to be tightened and loosened,,
NOTE
This gun is designed for use with most
finishing materials. It is not designed for
use with corrosive or highly abrasive mate-
rials. Using these materials can lead to
poor performance and/or failure of this
product.
AIR CAPS
External Mix TThe air and material are mixed outside the
air cap, This type of cap is best suited for quick drying paints,
such as latex, lacquer's, etc,,
PREPARATION FOR SPRAYING
Your Craftsman spray gun is shipped completely assembled,
and set-up for siphon feed spraying. Installation is accom-
plished by connecting an air line to the air inlet adapter' (44)
This spray gun should be flushed with solvent prior' to
spraying with paint.
The fluid needle packing (8) in this gun may be loose wilen
'eeeived. Tighten the packing retainer (9) until it grabs and
holds the fluid needle (21 ), then back offthe packing retainer
(approx, 1/4 turn) until the fluid needle is free to travel into
the fluid nozzle (4)r
Internal Mix - The air and material are mixed inside the air
cap. 'This type of cap is normally used for' thick paint where
fast application is desired and where quality of finish is less
important. Internal mix must be used with pressure feed set-
up.
Be sure the surface to be sprayed is dry and flee of all dirt,
grease, oil and toose paint, Mix and prepare the paint
according to the manufacturer's instructions. The use of a
Sears viscosimeter can be very. helpful Strain the material
to be sprayed thorugh a 60 to 90 mesh screen or equivalent.
Set air pressure at 40 psi as a starting point and follow the
safety precautions in the "Safety Guidelines" before you
begin.
