INTRODUCTION

This owner’s manual is dedicated to providing all the information needed to properly operate and maintain your Wagner NB
spray gun. Please review all the information contained in this operating manual before using the equipment.

All the Wagner systems are made of the highest quality materials right here in the U.S.A. This assures you of the very best
spray equipment available on the market today. Wagner units are made to be rugged, dependable and efficient, providing you
with the quality and dependability you have come to expect from Wagner.

HOW THE NB MODEL SPRAY GUN WORKS

The NB is a specially designed Non-Bleeder HVLP spray gun. The unique design of the gun allows for totally controlled
spraying without a large cloud of overspray. The spray pattern can be adjusted to allow the operator to spray with a tight round
pattern of 1/4 of an inch all the way up to a wide spray pattern up to 12 inches.

One Quart Cup Set Up

A one quart cup can be used with all the Wagner HVLP systems
whenever the user wants to spray up to one quart of material at a
time.

Pressure Pot Set Up

A pressure pot system is used for larger quantities of material in continuous run operations. Always follow instructions and
warnings provided with the pressure pot and air compressor.

Set Up Before Spraying

Surface Prep

All objects to be sprayed should be thoroughly cleaned before spraying material on them. Areas not to be sprayed may, in
certain cases, need to be masked.

Spray Area Prep

Always spray in a well ventilated area.

Material Prep

Most material will need to be reduced and strained to assure proper sprayability and the best possible
professional finish.
