Air Control –
The Air Control knob (located at the bottom of the gun handle adjacent to the
air inlet) is opened by rotating in a counter-clockwise direction (as viewed from the bottom of
the gun). This is for “fine tuning” the airflow to the gun. You will generally want to set the inlet
pressure at the regulator, start with the Air Control in the fully open position and decrease air
as needed
(FIG 3)
.
• With practice, you will quickly acquire a “feel” for the
gun and will be producing professional results.
• After achieving optimal knob settings, note their
positions with the numbered indicators on the face of
the knobs. This will assist in quickly “tuning” the gun
in future uses

GUN CLEAN-UP
• Disconnect air supply to gun.
• Pour unused coating into a proper disposal container, then remove Paint Cup.
• Wipe out any excess coating then thoroughly rinse the Paint Cup with a mild solvent compatible
with the coating being used.
• Attach Paint Cup, then pour a small amount of a solvent compatible with the paint being used
into the Cup, then run solvent through HVLP Gun in a safe area until it flows clear.
• Remove air supply from HVLP Gun.
• Pour out any unused solvent and remove paint cup.
• Allow solvent to dry completely from all components.
As an alternative, #12846Z Eastwood Aerosol Injected Gun Cleaner and
#16154ZP Eastwood Paint Gun and Equipment Cleaner are excellent for
this purpose.
