SET-UP AND ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS

1. Attach cup to gun and
flush solvent through gun
to remove oils.

2. Tighten packing nut—see
instructions.

3. Fully open fan and fluid
needle controls (turn
counter-clockwise).

A failure resulting in injury or damage may be caused by pressure
beyond top of scale, excessive vibration or pressure pulsation, exces­sive instrument temperature, corrosion of the pressure containing
parts or other misuse of the air adjusting valve with gauge.

Spray a test area. Turn the fluid needle
adjusting knob counterclockwise until a
full coat is obtained.

If the finish is too sandy and dry, the
material flow may be too low for the
atomization air pressure being used.
Turn the fluid needle adjusting knob
counterclockwise to increase fluid flow.

If the finish sags, there is too much mate­rial flowing for the atomization air pressure
being used. Turn the fluid needle adjusting
knob clockwise to decrease fluid flow.

Pattern width can be altered by turn­ing spreader adjustment valve, either
clockwise to decrease the width or coun­terclockwise to increase the width.

Adjust inlet air pressure to provide a uni­form dispersion of atomized paint through­out the pattern. Keep air pressure as low
as possible to minimize bounce-back and
overspray. Excessive pressure will result in
split spray patterns. Inadequate pressures
will cause heavy centered patterns and
poor atomization.

Fluid Tip
Size (mm) Applications

1.0 General purpose, light to medium

viscosity material.

1.3 Top coats.

1.5 Top coats and primer sealers.

1.8 Primers.

4. If desired, attach air adjust­ing valve with gauge and/
or quick disconnect to air
inlet, then attach hose.

5. Spray test and adjust air
pressure, fan size, and
fluid flow as required.
Recommended spray
distance is 6-8 inches.

CLEANING

For routine cleaning, it is not necessary
to remove cup from gun. Remove lid and
properly dispose of any excess paint. Pour
in a small amount of clean solvent. The
amount will vary with different coatings and
solvents. Reinstall lid. Shake cup to wash
down the inside surfaces. Pull trigger to
allow some solvent to be flushed through
gun. Remove lid and pour out dirty solvent.
Add a small amount of clean solvent and
repeat procedure. Wipe exterior of lid with
a clean cloth and clean solvent.

If a paint filter was used in the bottom of
the cup outlet, it should be removed and
cleaned at this time.

To clean air cap and fluid tip, brush exte­rior with a stiff bristle brush. If necessary
to clean cap holes, use a broom straw
or toothpick if possible. If a wire or hard
instrument is used, extreme care must
be used to prevent scratching or burring
of the holes which will cause a distorted
spray pattern.

To clean fluid passages, remove excess
material at source, then flush with a suit­able solvent. Wipe gun exterior with a
solvent dampened cloth. Never completely
immerse in solvent as this is detrimental
to the lubricants and packings.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

PACKING ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS

AIR CAP

PACKING
NUT

FLUID NEEDLE

The packing nut is intentionally left loose so the PTFE packing
does not take a "set" before the spray gun is used. This allows
full utilization of the packing.

Spray Gun Lubrication

Apply a drop of SSL-10 spray gun lube at
trigger bearing stud and the stem of the air
valve. The shank of the fluid needle where
it enters the packing nut should also be
oiled. The fluid needle packing should be
kept soft and pliable by periodic lubrication.
Make sure the baffle and retaining ring
threads are clean and free of foreign matter.
Before assembling retaining ring to baffle,
clean the threads thoroughly, then add two
drops of SSL-10 spray gun lube to threads.
The fluid needle spring and air valve spring
should be coated with a very light grease,
making sure that any excess grease will
not clog the air passages. For best results,
lubricate the points indicated, daily.

A. Trigger Points
B. Packing
C. Adjusting Valve
D. Baffle/Air Cap Threads

FAN CONTROL

FLUID NEEDLE CONTROL

Before using this spray gun,
the packing nut should be
adjusted as follows:

1. Tighten packing nut until
fluid needle starts to bind
in the packing.

2. Loosen packing nut just
enough so the fluid needle
moves freely.

The following hazards may occur during the normal use of this equipment.

Please read the following chart before using this equipment.

HAZARD CAUSE SAFEGUARDS

Fire

Solvent Spray

Solvent and coatings can be highly
flammable or combustible especially when
sprayed.

During use and while cleaning and flushing,
solvents can be forcefully expelled from
fluid and air passages. Some solvents can
cause eye injury.

Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep air free of
accumulations of flammable vapors.

Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.

Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the spray area.

Wear eye protection.

General Safety

Cumulative Trauma
Disorders ("CTD's")

CTD's, or musculoskeletal
disorders, involve damage
to the hands, wrists,
elbows, shoulders, neck,
and back. Carpal tunnel
syndrome and tendonitis
(such as tennis elbow or
rotator cuff syndrome) are
examples of CTD's.

Certain materials may be harmful if inhaled,
or if there is contact with the skin.

Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents - for
example; methylene chloride and 1,1,1,

- Trichloroethane are not chemically
compatible with the aluminum that might
be used in many system components. The
chemical reaction caused by these solvents
reacting with aluminum can become violent
and lead to an equipment explosion.

Improper operation or maintenance of
equipment.

Use of hand tools may cause cumulative
trauma disorders ("CTD's").

CTD's, when using hand tools, tend to affect
the upper extremities. Factors which may
increase the risk of developing a CTD include:

1. High frequency of the activity.

2. Excessive force, such as gripping,
pinching, or pressing with the hands and
fingers.

3. Extreme or awkward finger, wrist, or arm
positions.

4. Excessive duration of the activity.

5. Tool vibration.

6. Repeated pressure on a body part.

7. Working in cold temperatures.

CTD's can also be caused by such activities
as sewing, golf, tennis, and bowling, to
name a few.

Follow the requirements of the Material Safety Data Sheet
supplied by your coating material manufacturer.

Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air free of
accumulations of toxic materials.

Use a mask or respirator whenever there is a chance of inhaling
sprayed materials. The mask must be compatible with the material
being sprayed and its concentration. Equipment must be as pre­scribed by an industrial hygienist or safety expert, and be NIOSH
approved.

Guns with stainless steel internal passageways may be used
with these solvents. However, aluminum is widely used in other
spray application equipment - such as material pumps, regula­tors, valves, and this gun and cup. Check all equipment items
before use and make sure they can also be used safely with these
solvents. Read the label or data sheet for the material you intend
to spray. If in doubt as to whether or not a coating or cleaning
material is compatible, contact your material supplier.

Operators should be given adequate training in the safe use
and maintenance of the equipment (in accordance with the
requirements of NFPA-33, Chapter 15). Users must comply with
all local and national codes of practice and insurance company
requirements governing ventilation, fire precautions, operation,
maintenance, and housekeeping. These are OSHA Sections

1910.94 and 1910.107 and NFPA-33.

Pain, tingling, or numbness in the shoulder, forearm, wrist,
hands, or fingers, especially during the night, may be early
symptoms of a CTD. Do not ignore them. Should you experience
any such symptoms, see a physician immediately. Other early
symptoms may include vague discomfort in the hand, loss of
manual dexterity, and nonspecific pain in the arm. Ignoring early
symptoms and continued repetitive use of the arm, wrist, and
hand can lead to serious disability. Risk is reduced by avoiding or
lessening factors 1-7.
