11.Unlock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the
unlocked position.
(Ground the gun by holding it against the edge of the metal
container while flushing. Failure to do so may lead to a static
electric discharge, which may cause a fire.)
12.Trigger the gun into the metal waste container until
all air and solvent is flushed from the spray hose and
paint is flowing freely. rom the gun.
13.Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the
locked position.
14.Turn the unit off.
15.Attach tip guard and tip to the gun as instructed by
the tip guard or tip manuals.
POSSIBLE INJECTION HAZARD.
Do not spray
without the tip guard in place. Never trigger the gun
unless the tip is in either the spray or the unclog
position. Always engage the gun trigger lock before
removing, replacing or cleaning tip.
16.Turn the unit on.
17.Increase the pressure by turning the pressure
control knob slowly clockwise toward the green zone
and test the spray pattern on a piece of cardboard.
Adjust the pressure control knob until the spray from
the gun is completely atomized. Try to keep the
pressure control knob at the lowest setting that
maintains good atomization.
NOTE:Turning the pressure up higher then needed to atomize
the paint will cause premature tip wear and additional
overspray.
Pressure Relief Procedure
Be sure to follow the pressure relief procedure when
shutting the unit down for any purpose, including
servicing or adjusting any part of the spray system,
changing or cleaning spray tips, or preparing for
cleanup.
1.Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the
locked position.
2.Turn the unit off by moving the ON/OFF switch to the
OFF position.
3.Turn the pressure control knob counter clockwise to
its OFF position
4.Unlock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the
unlocked position.
5.Hold the metal part of the gun firmly to the side of a
metal container to ground the gun and avoid a build up
of static electricity.
6.Trigger the gun to remove any pressure that may still
be in the hose.
7.Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the
locked position.
8.Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve down to the PRIME
position.Trigger lock in locked position.
Spraying
POSSIBLE INJECTION HAZARD. Do not spray without the
tip guard in place. Never trigger the gun unless the tip is in
either the spray or the unclog position. Always engage the
gun trigger lock before removing, replacing, or cleaning tip.
Spraying Technique
The following techniques, if followed, will assure
professional painting results.
Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface and always
at equal distance from the surface. Depending on the
type of material, surface, or desired spray pattern, the
gun should be held at a distance of 12 to 14 inches (30
to 35 cm).
Move the gun either across or up and down the surface
at a steady rate. Moving the gun at a consistent speed
conserves material and provides even coverage. The
correct spraying speed allows a full, wet coat of paint to
be applied without runs or sags.
Holding the gun closer to the surface deposits more
paint on the surface and produces a narrower spray
pattern. Holding the gun farther from the surface
produces a thinner coat and wider spray pattern. If
runs, sags, or excessive paint occur, change to a spray
tip with a smaller orifice. If there is an
insufficient amount of paint on the surface or you
desire to spray faster, a larger orifice tip should be
selected.
Maintain uniform spray stroke action. Spray alternately
from left to right and right to left. Begin movement of
the gun before the trigger is pulled.
