and burns if inhaled or allowed to
come into contact with skin or
eyes.
Use a NIOSH approved mask
or respirator and protective
clothing designed for use with
your specific application and
spray materials. Some masks
provide only limited protection
against toxic materials and
harmful paint solvent. Consult
with a Safety Expert or Industrial Hygienist if uncertain about
your equipment or materials.
RISK TO
BREATHING
RISK FROM
FLYING OBJECTS
Certain parts are under pressure
whenever the gun is connected to
a pressurized air line. These parts
may be propelled if the gun is disassembled.
Compressed air may propel dirt,
metal shavings, etc. and possibly
cause an injury.
Prolonged exposure to air spray
can result in permanent damage
to hearing.
Disconnect the gun from the air
line, or completely depressurize
the air line whenever the gun is
to be disassembled.

The cup provided with this gun is designed for siphon feed only, it is ideal for
applying light and medium bodied paints (stain, lacquer) to large size jobs such
as complete auto refinishing. For spraying on larger painting applications the
gun can be used with a remote pressure feed paint tank.
IMPORTANT: This gun is designed to be use with most finishing materials. It is
not designed to be used with corrosive or highly abrasive materials. Using these
materials can lead to poor performance and/or failure of this product.
Before use
●
Install a moisture
separator/regulator when there
is a possibility moisture will
damage the surface to be
painted. Install the moisture
separator/regulator as close to
the tool as possible.
NOTE: Liquid water occurs
naturally in air lines as a result
of compression. The moisture
exiting near the compressor is
warm and still in a vapor state which allows it to pass through the moisture
separator. The vapor must travel a minimum of 5 to 10 feet to cool down to
a liquid to be removed by the moisture separator. See Illustration.
●
Prior to shipment, this gun was treated with an anticorrosive agent. Before
using this gun make sure that it is carefully flushed with thinner.

D28270
Before disassembly or removal 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!
TO AVOID CREATING AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE,
WORK ONLY IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS.
USE OF A NIOSH APPROVED FACE MASK IS
RECOMMENDED TO PREVENT INHALATION OF TOXIC
MATERIAL.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO UNCLOG (BACK FLUSH) SPRAY
GUN BY SQUEEZING TRIGGER WHILE HOLDING
FINGER IN FRONT OF FLUID NOZZLE.
Pressure may vary according to viscosity of material
used. Maximum working pressure of gun is 100 psi. DO
NOT EXCEED PRESSURE LIMIT OF GUN OR ANY OTHER COMPONENT IN SYSTEM!
Prior to daily operation, make certain that all
connections and fittings 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.
GENERAL INFORMATION
OPERATION
TO USE
1. Mix material according the
manufacturer’s instructions. Mixture
should be smooth and easily pourable.
Lumps or foreign particles should be
removed by straining through a
suitable paint filter.
NOTE: If not using the siphon feed setting,
see “Remote Pressure Feed” paragraphs.
2. Remove the material cup (e) from
lid/gun assembly. NOTE: Slide release
lever (f) to the right, rotate lid, and
remove material cup (e).
3. Fill the material cup (e) 3/4 full.
4. Attach material cup (e) to the lid/gun
assembly and slide release lever (f) to
the left to secure in place.
5. Attach air supply line to 1/4 NPT air
inlet (c).
6. Adjust spray pattern.
a. The position of the air cap horns (g) will
determine the spray pattern. Loosen air
cap (h) and rotate horns to achieve
desired pattern. Tighten air cap.
7. Turn fluid control knob (b) clockwise until it
stops, do not force. This will shut off the fluid flow. NOTE: The fluid or density of “fan spray” is controlled by fluid control knob (b).
8. Adjust air pressure to 60 psi at air compressor.
DO NOT exceed 100 psi.
9. Turn air valve control knob (a)
counterclockwise until first thread is flush with
gun body. NOTE: Air flow is controlled by air
valve control knob (a).
DO NOT turn air valve
control knob or fluid control
knob out until the first thread is past the gun
body. They are under pressure when the gun
is triggered and could leave the gun with
force.
NOTE: Care should be exercised 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.
9. Depress spray gun trigger (d) and gradually turn the fluid control knob (b)
counterclockwise until desired fluid flow is reached. Trigger 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.
NOTE: If gun sprays too fast, decrease the air and fluid pressure. If too slow,
increase the pressure. Turn fluid control knob (b) counterclockwise to increase,
or clockwise to decrease, the fluid flow. Turn air valve control knob (a) counterclockwise to increase, or clockwise to decrease, the air flow.

Spraying Tips
1. The stroke is made with a free arm motion, keeping the gun at a right angle
to the surface at all points of the stroke. Arching the stroke will result in
uneven application and excessive over spray at each end of the stroke.
2. Depress trigger just before reaching the edge of the surface to be sprayed.
Hold the trigger fully depressed and move the gun in one continuous
motion. Release the trigger when the other edge of the surface is reached,
shutting off the fluid flow, but continue motion a few inches until it is
reversed for the return stroke. When the edge of the surface is reached on
the return stroke, depress the trigger fully again and continue across the
surface.
3. Lap each stroke 50% over the preceding one. Less than 50% will cause
streaks on the finish surface.
Convert to Remote Pressure Feed:
If the material to be sprayed is too heavy for siphon feed or fast application is
desired, convert to the pressure feed setting.
1. Remove the material cup (e) from lid/gun assembly. NOTE: Slide release
lever (f) to the right, rotate lid, and
remove material cup (e).
2. Slide yoke (g),with built in socket
feature, over nut (h). Grip the yoke
and turn to loosen nut, after the nut
is loosened hand turn until lid
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
female connection. See
manufacturer’s manual for correct
procedure.
4. To operate see steps 5-9 in the “To Use” section to continue.
NEVER point spray gun at self or any other person. Ac-
cidental discharge of material may result in serious
injury.
NOTE: When replacing lid assembly to gun assembly hand tighten nut (h) and
then slide yoke (g) over nut (h) to tighten securely.

Always exercise extreme care when using any solvent
or thinner. Never clean gun near fire, flame, or any
source of heat or sparks. Properly dispose of used cleaning materials.
DO NOT soak entire spray gun in solvent or thinner for
a long period of time as this will destroy lubricants and
possibly make motion uneven. NEVER use lye or caustic alkaline solution for cleaning. Such solutions will attack aluminum alloy parts of
gun.
It is important that spray gun be cleaned after daily use. Cleaning is accomplished by spraying appropriate solvent or thinner through system.
Cleaning
NOTE: Clean gun immediately after use. Paint and other materials dry
quickly in the small passages.
1. Turn off air supply to gun.
2. Remove the material cup (e) from lid/gun assembly. NOTE: Slide release
lever (f) to the right, rotate lid, and remove material cup (e).
When using the remote pressure feed method: See manufacturer’s
manual for suggested cleaning of remote cup or tank.
3. Empty material from material cup and replace with a suitable solvent. If
using water based material use mineral spirits to prevent corrosion.
4. Turn air supply on and operate trigger until all material traces have disappeared and gun is thoroughly clean.
NOTE: To remove lid assembly from gun assembly, slide yoke (g),with built in
socket feature, over nut (h). Grip the yoke and turn to loosen nut, after the nut is
loosened hand turn until lid assembly can be removed from gun. When replacing
lid assembly to gun assembly, hand tighten nut (h) and then slide yoke (g) over
nut (h) to tighten securely.
IMPORTANT: Do not immerse the gun in solvent, this will cause damage to
the packings.
NOTE: Always comply with local codes when disposing of solvents.
5. Remove air cap and immerse in a suitable solvent. Use a bristle brush to
clean dried paint and blow it dry with compressed air.
6. Use cleaning tool (supplied) to clean small clogged holes.
7. Wipe gun with a solvent soaked cloth.
IMPORTANT: Make certain air cap and fluid nozzle are kept clean at all
times. DO NOT use hard objects to clean clogged holes. The smallest
amount of damage may cause irregular spray pattern.
Lubrication
Lubrication procedures must be observed after thoroughly cleaning the gun to
ensure effective, high quality performance of spray gun.
1. Lubricate working points with straight mineral oil, or castor oil.
2. Periodically, place a few drops of oil on tapered sections of fluid nozzle to
ensure easy operation of air cap. When spraying water base materials, coat
fluid nozzle inside and outside with straight mineral oil after each use.
