This spray gun is designed for use as a “bleeder type”,
which means that air will continuously pass through the
gun without pulling the trigger. Paint or the material being
sprayed is added to the air stream by pulling the trigger.
Depending on which of the supplied air caps is installed,
this spray gun will provide External Mix/Pressure Feed or
Internal Mix/Pressure Feed.
For use as External Mix Pressure Feed:
1. Install the external mix air cap (10) onto the end of the
spray gun.
NOTE: This set up is used when spraying medium
bodied, fast-drying materials such as lacquers and
fast-drying enamels.
For use as Internal Mix Pressure Feed:
1. Install the internal mix air cap (9) onto the end of the
spray gun.
NOTE: This set up is used when spraying relatively thick, slow-drying materials
C
such as latex or oil based paints.
Spraying Instructions
1. As a standard practice, drain water from the air compressor tank and air lines
prior to use each day (reference your compressor operators manual for detailed
instructions).
NOTE: Failure to install appropriate water/oil removal
equipment may result in damage to the spray gun or workpiece (see Figure
A).
2. Install a 1/4” NPT female plug (not included) onto the air inlet port on
D
the tool (see Figure B).
Note: Use Teflon
®
Tape on all threaded
connections.
3. Mix material according to the manufacutrer’s instructions, adding thinner if
needed. Mixture should be smooth and easily pourable. Lumps or foreign
objects should be removed by straining through a suitable paint filter or
cheesecloth.
4. Fill the cup no more than 3/4 full. Firmly attach the cup to prevent air leakage.
Avoid damage to the sealing surface of the cup and the gasket. Damage to
these parts will cause air leaks and prevent the gun from spraying properly. If
paint leaks around the needle pin packing gland, tighten the packing gland
nut just enough to stop the leak but not enough to interfere with movement of
the needle pin. Apply light machine oil to keep the packing soft and help
avoid leaks.
5. Attach air supply line to 1/4 NPT female plug.
6. Start the compressor and set the regulator to 25-50 PSI.
NOTE: Be sure there
is sufficient hose connected between the gun and air supply to comfortably reach the work surface.
