SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Spraying
The Model H8116 spray gun is designed
to spray paints and lacquers that have low
viscosity or have been thinned down. It is
ideal for touch-up projects.
EXPLOSION HAZARD! DO NOT
smoke or have any source of flame
or spark near spraying. Vapors will
explode if ignited.
RESPIRATORY HA ZARD! Always use
respirator rated for organic vapor
and solvent use when using spray
equipment. Failure to protect your
lungs can lead to respiratory illness
and nervous system damage.
To use your spray gun :
1. Read and follow the material manufac-
turer's instructions for spraying, mixing,
safety, disposal, and any other instruction on the label or Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS).
2. Ensure the cup is securely tightened to
the gun and all other fittings are secure
to avoid air leaks or material spills.
3. To start, set the inlet air pressure (the
air coming to the spray gun) to the
lowest pressure recommended in Tool Data on Page 7 or to the material manufacturer's recommendations. You can
then adjust as necessary from there.
4. Fill the cup with material.
5. Trial and error are necessary to achieve
the results you want along with a fair
amount of practice. Test your spray
pattern on a piece of cardboard or
scrap material that is similar to your
project surface.
TOXIC FUMES ! Always use an
approved spray booth or well ventilated area when spraying. NEVER
spray in a confined space where
toxic fumes and flammable vapors
can accumulate to deadly levels.
Model H8116 Spray Gun-10-
6. Adjust the air flow control knob to start
with a low volume of material and keep
the atomization as low as possible. You
will need to use a combination of inlet
air pressure, air flow control, and stroke
speed to achieve the results you want.
Spray so the material has a consistently glossy-wet look without dry spots
or primer showing through. Make multiple coats if required, to avoid running
or sagging. Follow the paint or lacquer
manufacturer's instructions for application.
7. Rotate the pattern control knob to
adjust the spray fan between the two
patterns in Figure 3.
19/16"
6"-8"
9. Begin spraying 2-3 inches before the
work. Continue the motion for a few
inches past the work until you are
ready for the return stroke.
. Maintain an even speed when spray-
10
ing.
11. Overlap each stroke by 50%. This will
ensure even coverage as shown in
Figure 5. Less than 50% as shown
in the figure to the right may lead to
missed spots or streaky results.
Yes
Figure 5. Overlap technique.
No
Figure 3. Fan adjustment.
8. Keep the gun tip perpendicular and
parallel to the work surface as you
spray from a distance of 6-8" as shown
in Figure 4. Do not allow your wrist to
bend. This will cause the gun to arc
across the surface and distribute the
material unevenly, possibly creating
sags, drips or dry spots.
Figure 4. Spray technique.
Model H8116 Spray Gun-11-
12. The spray stroke should be consistently even with parallel edges. If it doesn't
please refer to Troubleshooting on
Page 14.
13. To orient the Model H8116 spray gun
for downward or upward spraying, loosen the lock nut securing the cup, adjust
the gun angle, and tighten the nut.
HE ALTH & CONTA MIN ATI ON
HAZARD! Dispose of paint waste
in a responsible manner! Follow
manufacturer 's recommendations
and local laws regarding disposal.
Failure to comply will result in contamination and possibly large fines
and penalties.

SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Proper cleaning is the best way to ensure
trouble free performance from your spray
gun. If your gun is not thoroughly cleaned
between uses, damage and poor spraying
will result. Problems caused by improper
cleaning are not covered by the warranty.
Clean the spray gun immediately after
each use.
To clean your spray gun:
1. Spray a small amount of solvent or
reducer through the spray gun.
Note: Check with local laws regarding
this practice. If you are spraying on a
regular basis, spraying solvents into
the air may be illegal. A cabinet style
spray gun cleaner may be required.
2. Disconnect the gun from the air
supply!
5. Unscrew the atomizing cap with your
fingers and remove the fluid tip with
the service wrench. The fully disassembled gun should look like Figure
10.
6. Rinse these parts thoroughly in sol-
vent then dry with compressed air or
let air dry.
Note:If the small holes in the atomiz-
ing cap become blocked, soak in clean
solvent. If the blockage still exists,
clear the blockage with a small needle,
taking great care to not enlarge or
damage the hole. Damage to the hole
will create a disrupted spray pattern.
7. Use the cleaning brush with solvent to
clean the inner orifice and other hard
to reach areas on the outside of the
spray gun body.
8. Wipe the rest of the gun body with a
shop towel and dry.
3. Unscrew the cup.
4. Use a wrench to loosen the air flow
control knob, then remove the knob,
the spring, and needle.
