Spray Gun Terms

FEED – Method used to bring paint

into the gun for spraying.
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.

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.

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.

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.

IN297700AV 2/04

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.

VISCOSITY – A measurement of the
resistance of the flow of a liquid.

ATOMIZATION - Conversion of liquid
to spray droplets (mist).

PATTERN CONTROL KNOB – Used to
form the proper pattern (size and
shape) of paint as it is sprayed from the
gun to the work piece.

FLUID CONTROL KNOB – Used to con­trol the amount of paint being mixed
with air.

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 or orientation.

General Safety
Information
(Continued)

2. Follow all local electrical and safety
codes as well as in the United States,
the National Electrical Codes (NEC)
and Occupational Safety and Health
Act (OSHA).

Use a face mask/respira­tor and protective
clothing when spraying.
Always spray in a well
ventilated area to pre­vent health and fire hazards. Refer to
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) of
spray material for details.

Never spray closer than
25 feet to the compres­sor! If possible, locate
compressor in separate
room. Never spray into the compressor,
compressor controls or the motor.

3. Do not smoke or eat when spraying
paint, insecticides, or other flamma­ble substances.

Do not spray flammable
materials in vicinity of
open flame or near igni­tion sources. Motors, electrical equip­ment and controls can cause electrical
arcs that will ignite a flammable gas or
vapor. Never store flammable liquids
or gases in the vicinity of the compres­sor.

4. When spraying and cleaning, always
follow the instructions and safety
precautions provided by the material
manufacturer (Refer to MSDS).

Do not spray acids,

corrosive materials,
toxic chemicals, fertilizers or pesticides.
Using these materials could result in
death or serious injury.

5. Keep visitors away and NEVER allow

children or pets in the work area.

Never aim or

spray at yourself or
anyone else or serious injury could
occur.

6. Always work in a clean environment.

To avoid injury and damage to the

workpiece, do not aim the spray gun
at any dust or debris.

Do not use pressure that
exceeds the operating
pressure of any of the
parts (hoses, fittings,
etc.) in the painting system.

Keep hose away

from sharp objects.
Bursting air hoses may cause injury.
Examine air hoses regularly and replace
if damaged.

7. Always use a pressure regulator on

the air supply to the spray gun.

Failure to install

appropriate
water/oil removal equipment may
result in damage to machinery or work­piece.

Do not misuse this

product. Excessive
exposure to vibration, work in awk­ward positions, and repetitive work
motions can cause injury to hands and
arms. Stop using any tool if discomfort,
numbness, tingling, or pain occur, and
consult a physician.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

You can create dust when
you cut, sand, drill or grind
materials such as wood,
paint, metal, concrete,
cement, or other masonry. This dust
often contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects, or other
reproductive harm. Wear protective
gear.

Preparation

1. Thoroughly mix the paint in accor-

dance with the manufacturer’s
instructions, adding thinner where
necessary. Most materials will spray
readily if thinned properly. Strain
material through cheese cloth or a
paint strainer. Test the consistency of
the material by making a few strokes
on a cardboard target. If material still
appears too thick, add a small amount
of thinner. THIN WITH CARE!!

2. Fill the canister about 3/4 full and

start the air compressor.

3. Set up a piece of cardboard or other

scrap material to use as a target and
adjust for best spray pattern.

FAN DIRECTION

The direction of the fan (horizontal or
vertical) can be changed by loosening
the lock ring and turning the air cap 90
degrees (See Figure 1). Hand tighten
lock ring after adjustment.

PATTERN ADJUSTMENT

1. Adjust air pressure to the spray gun
according to the recommendations
supplied with the spray material. This
air pressure usually falls between 40 ­60 PSI. Adjust air pressure with the
trigger pulled.

2. Turn fluid control knob fully clock­wise until closed.

3. Trigger a short burst while turning
fluid control knob counterclockwise.
Observe the spray pattern on the tar­get and adjust the fluid control knob
until the desired pattern (atomiza­tion) is obtained.

If the spray is too fine (excessive over­spray), caused by too much air for the
amount of paint being sprayed, reduce

Preparation (Cont.)

the air pressure or open the fluid con­trol to spray more material.

If the spray is too coarse (spitting globs),
reduce the amount of material with the
fluid control knob or thin the paint.

Before spraying the workpiece, prac­tice a few minutes on a cardboard tar­get to ensure the pattern size and con­sistency are set correctly.

Operation

1. Begin spraying.
Always keep the
gun at right
angles to the
work. (See
Figure 4.)

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 mid­stroke 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 5).

2. “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).

3. 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.

4. Overlap strokes just enough to
obtain an even coat. NOTE: Two
thin coats of paint will yield better
results and have less chance of runs
than one heavy layer.

5. 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.

Maintenance

DAILY CLEAN-UP

Local codes may require specific clean­ing methods and equipment. Follow
local codes and manufacturer’s recom­mendations for the use and disposal of
spray materials and solvent.

Clean spray gun

immediately after
use. Paint and other material 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 (eg:
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 sol-

vent 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.

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.

Failure to install appropriate water/oil removal equipment

may result in damage to machinery or workpiece.
