• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS •
The Following Hazards Can Occur During The Normal Use Of This Product:
The solvents 1,1,1-Trichloroethane and Methylene
Chloride can chemically react with the aluminum
used in most spray equipment, and this gun and
cup, to produce an explosion hazard and could
result in serious injury or death.
Read the label or data sheet for the material you
intend to spray.
1. Never use any type of spray coating material
containing these solvents.
2. Never use these solvents for equipment cleaning
or flushing.
3. If in doubt as to whether a material is compatible,
contact your material supplier.
SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS

which, if not avoided, will result in death or
serious injury.
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result in death or serious
injury.
indicates a potentially hazardous situation which,

This manual contains
information that is
important for you to know and
understand. This information relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING
EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To
help you recognize this information, we use the symbols below.
Please read the manual and
pay attention to these sections.
IMPROPER OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE OF THIS PRODUCT COULD
RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS
EQUIPMENT.
HAZARD
WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
Risk of explosion or fire - flammable materials
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When paints or materials are sprayed, they are
broken into very small particles and mixed with air.
This will cause certain paints and materials to become extremely flammable and could result in
serious injury or death.
Never spray near open flames or pilot lights in
stoves or heaters.
Never smoke while spraying.
Provide ample ventilation when spraying indoors.
HAZARD
WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
Risk of explosion - incompatible materials
HAZARD
WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
Risk of breathing
Some paints, coatings and solvents may cause lung
damage, and burns if inhaled or allowed to come
into contact with skin or eyes.
Use a NIOSH approved mask or respirator and protective clothing designed for use with your specific
application and spray materials. Some masks
provide only limited protection against toxic materials and harmful paint solvent. Consult with a Safety
Expert or Industrial Hygienist if uncertain about your
equipment or materials.

SPECIFICATIONS
Air Inlet 1/4 NPS
Maximum Air Pressure 60 psi.
Recommended Operating Air Pressure 35 psi.
Cup 133 cc (4.5 oz)
Air Consumption @ 60 PSI 3.6 SCFM
Prolonged exposure to air spray can result in permanent damage to hearing.
Always wear hearing protection when operating
spray equipment.
Spray guns operate at pressures and velocities
high enough to penetrate human and animal flesh,
which could result in amputation or other serious
injury.
! See a physician immediately!
Never place hands in front of nozzle.
Direct spray away from self and others.
HAZARD
WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
Risk of flying objects
HAZARD
WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
Risk of injection
Certain parts are under pressure whenever the gun
is connected to a pressurized air line. These parts
may be propelled if the gun is disassembled.
Disconnect the gun from the air line, or completely
depressurize the air line whenever the gun is to be
disassembled.
Compressed air may propel dirt, metal shavings,
etc. and possibly cause an injury.
Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward a person
or part of the body.
Always wear ANSI 278.1 safety approved goggles
or glasses when spraying.
Before disassembly or removal of any part of gun or attached
components, shut off compressor, release pressure by depressing
trigger, and disconnect power source.
NEVER assume system pressure is zero!
TO AVOID CREATING AN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE, WORK ONLY
IN WELL VENTILATED AREAS.
USE OF A FACE MASK IS RECOMMENDED TO PREVENT INHALA-
TION OF TOXIC MATERIAL.
GENERAL INFORMATION

D25799
Prior to shipment, this gun was treated with an anticorrosive agent. Before using this gun make
sure that it is carefully flushed with thinner.
1. The position of the air cap (H) horns will determine the
spray pattern. Loosen (G) air cap and rotate horns to
achieve desired pattern. Tighten air cap.
2. Attach material cup to the gun. NOTE: The (F) material
filter supplied is optional to protect against contaminants
and small particles. See parts list for material filter
orientation.
3. Attach air supply line to 1/4 NPS air inlet.
NEVER point spray gun at self or any
other person. Accidental discharge of
material may result in serious injury.
4. Adjust air pressure at air compressor.
DO NOT exceed 60 psi.
5. Depress spray gun trigger fully to spray material. NOTE: Depressing trigger partially will
cause only air to be released.
Adjust spray gun:
a. Amount of material released (density of “fan spray”) is controlled by (D) fluid control
knob. Turn knob counterclockwise to increase, or clockwise to decrease, the fluid flow.
b. Width of “fan spray” is governed by (B) pattern adjustment knob. Turn knob counter-
clockwise to increase, or clockwise to decrease, air flow.
c. Air quantity is controlled by (C) air-volume control knob. Turn knob counterclockwise to
increase, or clockwise to decrease, the air flow.
NOTE: Care should be exercised when handling spray gun to avoid damage to the orifice of the
air cap and tip of fluid nozzle. Damage to these parts results in irregular spray patterns.
DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO UNCLOG (BACK
FLUSH) SPRAY GUN BY SQUEEZING
TRIGGER WHILE HOLDING FINGER IN
FRONT OF FLUID NOZZLE.
Pressure may vary
according to
viscosity of material used. Maximum
working pressure of gun is 60 psi. DO
NOT EXCEED PRESSURE LIMIT OF
GUN OR ANY OTHER COMPONENT IN
SYSTEM!
Prior to daily
operation, make
certain that all connections and fittings
are secure. Check hose and all connections for a weak or worn condition
that could render system unsafe. All
replacement components such as
hose or fittings must have a working
pressure equal to or greater than
system pressure.

Always exercise extreme care when using any solvent or thinner.
Never clean gun near fire, flame, or any source of heat or sparks.
Properly dispose of used cleaning materials.
DO NOT soak entire spray gun in solvent or thinner for a long
period of time as this will destroy lubricants and possibly make
motion uneven. NEVER use lye or caustic alkaline solution for cleaning. Such solutions will attack aluminum alloy parts of gun.
It is important that spray gun be cleaned after daily use. Cleaning is accomplished by spraying
appropriate solvent or thinner through system. Wipe exterior of spray gun with solvent soaked
cloth or use cleaning brush(s) provided to remove any accumulated material.
Cleaning
(a) Empty material from gravity feed cup and replace with a suitable solvent.
(b) Operate trigger until all material traces have disappeared and gun is thoroughly clean.
(c) Clean air cap with brush.
IMPORTANT: Make certain air cap and fluid nozzle are kept clean at all times. If necessary, remove these two components and soak them in solvent. DO NOT use hard objects
to clean clogged holes. The smallest amount of damage may cause irregular spray
pattern.
NOTE: If fluid nozzle is to be removed for thorough cleaning, squeeze trigger to prevent dam-
age of fluid needle tip when unscrewing nozzle.
Lubrication
Lubrication procedures must be observed after thoroughly cleaning the gun to ensure effective,
high quality performance of spray gun.
1. Lubricate working points with straight mineral oil, or castor oil.
2. Periodically, place a few drops of oil on tapered sections of fluid nozzle to ensure easy operation of air cap. When spraying water base materials, coat fluid nozzle inside and
outside with straight mineral oil after each use.
3. Outer diameter of needle sleeve of fluid needle assembly must be lubricated occasionally
with straight mineral oil.
Change or Replace nozzle set
When changing nozzle set, make sure the complete nozzle set is exchanged. A set includes an
air cap, fluid nozzle, and fluid needle. NOTE: Assemble fluid nozzle before putting in fluid
needle.
MAINTENANCE
* Standard size is supplied with gun. Other nozzle sets should be ordered
separately. A set includes an air cap, fluid nozzle, and fluid needle.
