IMPORTANT: Preparation for work
1. Connect the compressed air hose.
2. Fasten the paint tank.
3. Wash the spray gun with a proper solvent.
4. Fill the tank with the lacquering material, and perform a test spray in order to adjust the spray gun.
Make sure that the air connected to the spray gun is sufficiently pure and dry. If the spray gun is being used for the first
time, carefully loosen the nozzles, press the release trigger and let it go. If the trigger does not return to its original
position, loosen the needle seal knob. Make sure that the air hose is fastened well to the coupling, and the paint tank is
securely closed.
OPERATION
The recommended supply air pressure ranges from 2.0 to 3.0 bar. Keep the distance between the spray gun and painted
surface ranging from 100 to 200 mm in order to obtain the best flow efficiency.
Maintain liquid outflow at a minimum level within a range that will allow not uninterrupted work. This will guarantee a
higher quality of applied coat owing to better material atomisation. The spray gun should be always held perpendicular to
the painted surface and moved along a horizontal straight line. The viscosity of the material being applied should range
from 12 to 23 sec., depending on its characteristics and painting conditions. (Ford cup no. 4.)
MAINTENANCE
ATTENTION
Cut off the compressed air supply hose and empty the tank containing the paint before the commencement of
any servicing and maintenance operations. Proceed with care during the spray gun disassembly so as not to get
hurt in contact with sharp elements. Read these instructions thoroughly before attempting the spray gun
disassembly.
1) Remove paint residues and wash conduits and the nozzle by spraying a small amount of solvent through the spray
gun.
Careless washing may result in disturbances in the jet shape.
In case of binary materials wash the spray gun immediately after use.
2) Clean other spray gun elements using a brush or cleaning rod.
3) Carefully wash paint flow conduits before the spray gun disassembly.
4) Disassemble the nozzle after having removed the needle or with release trigger pressed - in order to protect the
nozzle from damage.
5) Assemble the needle unit by screwing in the needle seal manually, and then carefully tighten it up with a spanner/key.
Adjust the seal pressure by releasing the trigger and checking if the needle returns to its “closed” position quick enough
and all the way.
6) Turn the jet adjustment knob anticlockwise, until it reaches full opening position, and then tighten up the pilot sleeve in
the spray gun body.
ATTENTION
Use only original AIR GUNSA spare parts. Never immerse the whole spray gun in a solvent. Protect head holes,
nozzle and needle against damage.
