When finished with the stroke, release the Trigger
while still moving the Spray Gun - see Figure O.
Doing this will produce a smoother finish.
Do not stop moving the Spray Gun while spraying.
If the Spray Gun stops even briefly while spraying
the paint will build up and run down the workpiece.
Note: The stroke speed, the Fluid Knob adjustment, and the distance from the workpiece,
will determine how much paint is being applied. Apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat.
CAUTION!
Air hose fittings may get hot. Allow fittings to cool before disconnecting,
or wear gloves to prevent burns.
6. To prevent accidents, release trigger, detach air supply, safely discharge any residual air
pressure, and again release trigger after use.
7. Clean the Spray Gun IMMEDIATELY after EVERY use, in between coats, and when
it will be idle for more than 5 minutes.
Cleaning
WARNING! TO PREVENT FIRE, IF A FLAMMABLE SOLVENT NEEDS TO BE USED,
ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING:
a. Follow solvent manufacturer’s clean up instructions and safety precautions.
b. Flush Spray Gun a full hose length from air compressor.
c. If collecting flushed solvents in metal container, transfer to nonmetal container, and flush
metal container.
d. Work far away from any ignition sources in a vapor free area.
e. Keep class ABC fire extinguisher nearby.
Solvent Selection
Follow the paint and solvent
manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning, solvent type, and
disposal.
IMPORTANT: Do not use mineral spirits with latex paints, doing so will make the paint very
difficult to remove.
After Every Use
1. Use solvent recommended by paint manufacturer.
2. Remove the Cup, along with any tubes or filters. Carefully scrape paint out of Cup. Dispose
of excess paint properly, then clean Cup and accessories with solvent.
3. Reduce air pressure to minimum, then fill the Cup with solvent and spray it through the Spray
Gun into the spent solvent container, while shaking the Spray Gun. Once the Cup is empty,
repeat the process until the solvent comes out clean.
4. Disconnect from the air source.
5. After disconnecting, point the Spray Gun into the spent solvent container and squeeze the
Trigger again to make sure no air remains.
