IMPORTANT: To operate correctly, this tool requires airflow that is at least 4.4 cubic feet per minute (CFM) at 60 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.

ohose r yank it to disconnect it from the air or power supply.

Keep hoses away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Check hoses for weak or worn connections before each use and make sure that all connections are secure before use.

Do not use pressure exceeding the operation pressure of any of the parts (hoses, fittings, etc) in the painting system.

If eyes or face come into direct contact with sprayed materials, contact your local doctor or emergency room for immediate help.

Never aim or spray at yourself or anyone else, which could result is serious injury or death. Do not spray acids, corrosive materials, toxic chemicals, fertilizers or pesticides. Using these materials could result in serious injury and or death.

Never spray flammable materials in vicinity of open flame or near ignition sources. Never store flammable liquids or gases near an air compressor or other compressed materials under pressure.

Do not remove Brass baffle attached to front of gun body as special technical traning and tools are required. Only authorized service centers should remove this part. To avoid cross-threading, all spray gun parts should be initially screwed in by hand and hand tightened only. If the parts cannot be easily turned by hand, be sure you have the correct parts, unscrew, realignand secure properly in matching parts.

PREPARATION

Before beginning the assembly and operation 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 or operate the product. Contact customer service for replacement parts.

Estimated Assembly Time: 3 minutes Tools Required for Assembly: Wrench (included)

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

5. Connect air tube to air intake connector from air compressor. Set pressure to 60 psi. Fully open air adjustment knob and adjust the spray pattern adjustment knob to proper range (See Figure 5; all accessories shown may not be included).

4. Pour paint into paint cup and put on cover. (See Fig. 4 – Oil and water extractor, and air

compressor not included)

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Proper handling of the gun is essential for obtaining a good finish. The gun should be held at a 90 ° angle to the surface being covered and moved parallel to it. For precise control keep the gun 6-12 inches away from the surface and material. The trigger should be released before the end of the stroke for a uniform and consistent covering. To achieve a consistent covering it is recommended to hold the gun 6-12 inches away, depending on the material and atomizing pressure and item being sprayed. For uniform finish lap each stroke over the preceding stroke, making sure the spray is smooth, and wet. Using the lowest possible atomizing air pressure will reduce overspray and provide maximum efficiency.

During normal use, the air cap wings are horizontal and the air cap should be pointed up as shown here. (See Fig. 7) This provides a vertical fan-shaped pattern which gives maximum and even material coverage as the gun is moved back and forth parallel to the surface being finished.

The air cap wings are horizontal.

REPAIR INSTRUCTION

Remove air pressure from air hose / gun.

CAUTION:

Take care not to damage the seals on the gun body when removing the

air distribution ring.

1. Remove the nozzle set: a. Remove air cap w/ring by turning counter clockwise (See Figure 1).

Counter clockwise

b. Unscrew the fluid adjustment knob by turning counter clockwise (See Figure 2). c. Pull out needle spring and paint needle (See Figure 3). d. Remove paint nozzle using wrench provided (See Figure 4).

2. Pull out the air distribution ring using needle-nose pliers and remove dirt(See Figure 5).

3.The clean air distribution ring must be inserted in a way that the plastic pin marked with an arrow (1) fits smoothly into the hole marked (2) (See Figure 6). Firmly push

in the air distribution ring in place (See Figure 7). Insert the paint nozzle and tighten

slightly. Make sure the air distribution ring fits securely against the gun body.

NOTE: Make sure that dirt has not settled in the sealing surfaces and no scratches

prevent optimum sealing performance. Use care and caution not to damage the air distribution ring. Reconnect air hose with spray gun set to desired PSI.

REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS

4. Mount the nozzle set: a. Screw on paint nozzle (See Fig. 8). b. Attach the air cap w/ring and tighten

(See Fig. 9). c. Put on paint needle (See Fig. 10).

d. Attach the needle spring (See Fig.11). e. Screw on the fluid adjustment knob

(See Fig. 12).

The air cap wings are horizontal.

NOTE: Test spray pattern before use again. During normal use, the air cap wings are

horizontal and the air cap should be pointed

up as shown (See Figure 13). This

provides a vertical fan-shaped pattern which

gives maximum and even material

coverage as the gun is moved back and forth parallel to the surface being finished.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

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

NOTE: Make sure that you never submerge any part of the

spray gun housing into solvent material(s), as air passages would become clogged with dirty solvent. This would

cause

the gaskets inside the gun housing

to dry out, causing faster wear and tear on the

Nozzle

Solvent material

Method 1: Remove the spray gun nozzle completely from spray gun and place into a container that will not cause solvent deterioration when solvent material(s) are added

2. Let nozzle sit in solvent material(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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

(See Fig. 14).

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.

spray gun housing. Empty canister and submerge the front end of the spray gun only (See Fig. 15). Make sure that only the spray gun nozzle is submerged in solvent material(s). (If using method 2, (not completely removing spray gun nozzle), make sure a suitable container is used which can not easily tip over. If the container used does tip over, you will spill solvent material(s), causing a potential safety hazard.
