IMPORTANT: To operate correctly, this tool requires airflow that is at least 3.3 cubic feet per

minute

(CFM) at 40 pounds per square inch (PSI). Check the specifications of your air compressor

to be sure that it can support both the minimum CFM and PSI required. An air hose may cause up to 15 PSI drop in pressure, so you may need to set the output higher to maintain the required pressure at the tool.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Take out spray gun (A1/A2) and put on paint cup (B1/B2) with hand. Make sure that the paint cup

(B1/B2) is installed with spray gun (A1/A2) tightly

and correctly. (See Figure 2)

2. Connect recoil air hose or air supply hose with the air inlet (I1/12) of spray gun (A1/A2). Use seal tape (N) for airtight connection. Do not overtighten. (See Figure 3).

NOTE The working pressure refers to the air line

pressure when the spray gun trigge dellup si)2J/1J( r fully under working conditions.

3. Set the rated working pressure (i.e. 40 PSI for

small gravity spray gun and 45 PSI for siphon feed spray gun) for best performance.

Note:The life of this product and the efficiency of its

operation depends upon the knowledge of its construction, usage and maintenance (See Figure 1; Not all accessories shown are included, but are recommended for best performance).

PREPARATION

Before beginning the assembly of the product, make sure all parts are present. Compare parts with package contents list. If any part is missing or damaged, do not attempt to assemble the product. Estimated Assembly Time: 5-10 minutes Tools Required for Assembly: Adjustable wrench (not included)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE During normal use, the air ca si )2D/1D( p

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

4. Pour paint into the paint cup. Hold or adjust paint cup so that paint can be easily added and controlled once paint is inside cup. Secure paint cap lid turning clockwise by hand (See Figure 4; Not all accessories shown are included).

NOTE

Before using desired paint in the spray gun, spray a compatible thinner or solvent through the gun to remove any contaminants and residues. Thin paints properly in accordance with the paint manufacturer's instructions before spraying. Fill the paint cup (B1/B2) about 3/4 full and start the air compressor. Set up a piece of cardboard or other scrap material to use as a target and adjust for best spray pattern. Test the consistency of the paint by making a few strokes on a cardboard target. If paint still appears

too thick, add a small amount of thinner. Do not exceed paint

manufacturer's thinning recommendations.

WARNING

The paint sprayer will not properly spray unless

the fan direction is either horizontal or vertical.

1. Adjust the direction of fan to be either horizontal or vertical as required by loosening the air cap ring (D1/D2) 90 degrees. Hand tighten the air

ring (E1/E2) after adjustment (See Figure 1).

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

7. Overlap strokes just enough to obtain an even

8. Use a piece of cardboard as a shield to catch

overspray at the edges of workpiece and protect other surfaces. Use masking tape (not included) to cover other areas if needed.

NOTE Two thin coats of paint will yield better

spraying results and have less chance of runs than one heavy layer.

To properly maintain and keep your sprayer working at its optimal performance,

it is recommended that the spray gun nozzle be cleaned and cleared of any clogs or

debris buildup

using paint thinner or lacquer thinner. DO NOT USE ANY ACID BASED SOLVENTS, AS ACID BASED SOLVENTS CAN DAMAGE THE SPRAYER. Please consult with your local retailer in choosing the right solvent materials.

1. Pour enough solvent material(s) into container so that nozzle will be completely submerged in solvent material.

BEFORE PERFORMING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE REMOVE SPRAY GUN FROM AIR SUPPLY AND KEEP AWAY FROM ANY IGNITION SOURCES. COMPLETELY EMPTY CUP WHEN PERFORMING AND MAINTENCE OR CLEANING.

NOTE: There are two methods for properly submerging spray gun nozzle into cleaning solvent material(s).

Method 2: Keeping the spray gun nozzle attached to the

Soak nozzle in solvent to loosen the clog, then blow air through until clean. To clean orifices use a broom straw or toothpick. Never try to detach dried material with sharp tool.

One side of nozzle is clogged.

ROUBLESHOOTING

POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION

a) Atomization air pressure is set too high. b) Trying to spray a thin material in too wide of a pattern.

a) Reduce air pressure. b) Increase material control by turning fluid adjustment knob to left, while reducing spray width by turning spray pattern adjustment knob to right.

a) Loosen air nozzle. b) Material around outside of air nozzle has dried.

a) Trigger air nozzle. b) Take off air nozzle and wipe off fluid tip using a rag moistened with thinner.

2. Let nozzle sit in solvent materia

l(s) for 3-5 minutes allowing solvent material(s) to

break up any build up of dirt and or debris on spray nozzle.

3. Remove

nozzle

from solvent material

(s)

and closely inspect the spray gun

nozzle

to ensure any

dirt or debris build up has been cleared.

NOTE: Depending on the paint and solvent material(s) used, steps 1-4 may need to be repeated multiple times.

4. If debris or build up is still present, use a non-wire soft bristle brush and brush area

of nozzle that still contains dirt or debris and repeat steps 1-4.

. Once the spray gun nozzle has been completely cleared of any dirt or debris and is

clean, wipe the nozzle clean with a clean cloth or rag.

. Once nozzle has been properly cleaned, reconnect the nozzle to the spray gun and

reconnect the spray gun to the air supply. Test the sprayer ensuring that it is working properly.

Storing:

1. When not using the spray gun turn the fluid adjustment knob counterclockwise (to open) which will reduce the spring tension on the needle fluid tip.

2. Spray gun must be well cleaned and lightly lubricated.

3. Store spray gun in a dry and safe place out of reach of children.
