Important Safety Instructions (Continued)
Service
a.Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
b.When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.
Do not make any modifications to
the tool without first obtaining written approval from Campbell Hausfeld. Do not use the tool if any shields or guards are removed or altered. Do not use the tool as a hammer. Personal injury or tool damage may occur.
Introduction
The spray gun is a vital link in any finishing application. In addition to operating the spray gun properly, techniques of surface preparation and paint preparation must be understood. These instructions will explain the differences among various spray technologies and serve as a guide in the proper operation and techniques of spray painting. Refer to the Replacement Parts Manual for model specific information.
Spray Gun Terms
Atomization – Conversion of bulk liquid to spray droplets (mist).
Bleeder/Non-Bleeder – Indicates whether air flows through the gun continuously or as the trigger is pulled.
Bleeder – In this mode, air passes continuously through the gun whether spraying or not. This mode is generally used when the air is supplied by a continuously running compressor that does not have a tank.
Non-Bleeder – In this mode, air flows only when the trigger is pulled. This type of operation is used with a compressor equipped with a tank or with a large factory air system.
Feed – Method used to bring paint into the gun for spraying.
Fluid Control Knob – Used to control the amount of paint being mixed with air.
Gravity Feed – Method of paint feed similar to the siphon feed method. However, the cup is inverted to create a positive fluid pressure at the nozzle.
Mix – The mixing of paint and air when spraying.
External Mix – Process where the air and paint are mixed just after leaving the nozzle. This type of mix should be used for fast drying paints and when a high quality finish is needed.
Internal Mix – Process where the air and paint are mixed inside the air cap just before being sprayed. This method is best for heavy bodied, slow drying paints and can only be used with the pressure feed method. Do not use fast drying paints with internal mix. The paint will dry inside and quickly clog the air cap.
Paint Tank – An auxiliary pressurized paint reservoir that allows continuous spraying of large amounts of paint without stopping for refills as with a canister. It also allows using the spray gun at any angle without causing paint to drip.
Pattern Control Knob – Used to form the proper pattern (size and shape) of paint as it is sprayed from the gun to the workpiece.
Pressure Feed – Method of paint feed where a canister or paint tank is pressurized to force paint to the gun. Either internal or external mix air caps are used with this method. Pressure feed is generally used for spraying heavy bodied paints or for large size projects.
Siphon Feed – Method of paint feed where atmospheric pressure creates a partial vacuum to siphon paint to the gun. Only external mix air caps are used with this method. Siphon feed is used with light bodied paints.
Viscosity – A measurement of the resistance to the flow of liquids.
Conventional vs. HVLP
Conventional spray guns use a much higher air cap pressure to atomize paint than HVLP spray guns. This results in more overspray and a lower transfer efficiency.
HVLP, electrostatic and airless processes are currently the only compliant spray methods that meet the strict 65% transfer efficiency criteria required by some air quality management districts. This enhanced transfer efficiency results in a significant material savings compared to conventional spraying. Check local, state and national regulations that may be in effect before performing any spraying operations.
HVLP spraying is a growing trend in the finishing industry due to its environmental friendliness. By
definition, dynamic air pressures in the air cap must be 10 psi or less to qualify as HVLP. A soft, low velocity pattern is produced which
increases control and reduces bounceback and overspray (See Figure 1). For these reasons, HVLP is also well suited for spraying parts with recessed
areas.
Spray Gun Setup
The pressure for atomization is controlled at the air source. The amount of fluid is adjusted by the fluid control knob, the paint viscosity and the air pressure.
The gravity feed cup screws onto the top of the gun body creating a positive fluid pressure in the nozzle (See Figure 2).

Water/Oil in compressed Air
All compressor pumps discharge some condensed water, oil or contaminates with the compressed air.
Important: This condensation will cause “fish eyes” to appear in the paint job. Install appropriate water/oil removal equipment and
controls as necessary for the intended application. Locate filter as close to spray gun as possible.
Failure to install appropriate
water/oil removal equipment may result in damage to machinery or workpiece.
Operation
1.Begin
spraying. 6 - 9 Always keep inches
the gun at
right angles to the work (See
Figure 8).
2. Keep the
nozzle about 6 to 9 inches
from the work surface throughout the stroke and always
keep the gun in motion while spraying. Stopping gun movement in mid-stroke will cause a build up of paint and result in runs. Do not fan the gun from side to side while painting. This will cause a build-up of paint in the center of the stroke and an insufficient coating at each end (See Figure 9).

3.Trigger the gun properly. Start the gun moving at the beginning of the stroke BEFORE SQUEEZING THE TRIGGER and release the trigger BEFORE STOPPING GUN MOVEMENT at the end of the stroke. This procedure will feather (blend) each stroke with the
next without showing overlap or unevenness (See Figure 10).

4.The amount of paint being applied can be varied by the speed of the stroke, distance from the surface and adjustment of the fluid control knob.
5.Overlap strokes just enough to obtain an even coat (See Figure 11).
Figure 11
NOTE: Two thin coats of paint will yield better results and have less chance of runs than one heavy layer.
6.Use a piece of cardboard as a shield to catch overspray at the edges of the work to protect other surfaces. Use masking tape to cover other areas if needed.
User - Maintenance Instructions
Daily clean-up
Local codes may require specific cleaning methods and equipment. Follow local codes and paint manufacturer’s recommendations for the use and disposal of spray materials and solvent.
Clean spray gun immediately after
use. Paint and other materials dry quickly in the small passages rendering gun useless due to the difficulty of removing hardened
paint from the passages inside the gun.
NOTE: In the instructions below, the use of the word “solvent” refers to the specific solvent for the material used (example: lacquer thinner for lacquer, etc.).
1.Remove and empty the canister; then rinse with a solvent recommended for the paint or other material used.
2.Refill canister with clean solvent and attach to the gun. Spray solvent through the gun while shaking
the gun vigorously. Wipe the gun exterior with a solvent soaked rag. Repeat until the gun is clean.
3.Remove the air cap and soak in solvent until clean. Use a small brush for stubborn stains if necessary. Toothpicks or small brushes may be used to clean air passages; however,
NEVER USE METAL OBJECTS TO CLEAN PRECISELY DRILLED
PASSAGES. DAMAGED PASSAGES WILL CAUSE IMPROPER SPRAYING.
4.Clean gaskets with a solvent soaked rag. To prevent equipment damage,
Do not immerse gaskets or spray gun body in solvents.
5.After using water to clean out water based paints or materials, spray mineral spirits through the gun to prevent corrosion.
6.Use a non-silicone oil on all moving parts when reassembling. Use Vaseline® or light grease on all threaded connections prior to storage.
7.Clean and flush gun thoroughly to neutralize any contaminants corrosive to the spray gun.
Periodic clean-up
Due to improper cleaning and paint it may be necessary to inspect and clean the internal parts and the gun body.
1.Examine openings in air cap and fluid tip. If clogged, remove any o-rings and soak the air cap or fluid tip in solvent.
