Spraying Instructions (continued)
c.
Spray pattern shape (see Figure 4) - loosen the lock ring and
turn the air cap for the desired spray pattern. Hand tighten the
lock ring after adjustment.
Round pattern
used to draw fine lines with the gun close to the work
surface, for touch up work and for painting surfaces
in difficult to reach areas. To achieve this pattern, turn
the air cap at a 45 degree angle.
Full fan pattern
used with the spray gun 6-9” from the work surface.
To achieve this pattern, turn the air cap either
horizontally or vertically.
d.
Adjust the regulator to the desired setting by turning the regulator knob counterclockwise to
increase pressure and clockwise to decrease pressure.
Do not adjust the fluid control knob or the spray pattern adjustment knob out past the
first visible thread while the paint gun is under pressure or they could fly out and cause
serious injury.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Keep the spray gun clean. To avoid clogging the air and paint passages and possibly ruining
the spray gun, clean the spray gun immediately after each use.
NOTE: Paint and other material dry quickly in the
small passages rendering the gun useless due to the difficulty of removing hardened paint from the passages
inside the gun.
If the passages become clogged and the spray gun stops working, follow the instructions in “TO
CLEAN PASSAGES” below.
After Each Use
Shut off the air supply to the tank and release the pressure in the tank before cleaning
to avoid injury.
1.
Drain and clean the cup. To clean the gun passages, put a small amount of thinner or approved solvent in
the cup. Attach the cup to the gun and spray the liquid through the gun while shaking the gun vigorously.
Periodically pull and release the trigger to help break loose dried-on material.
2.
Wipe the gun and cup exterior with a solvent soaked rag.
To avoid of the risk of fire and/or explosion, place cleaning rags and other flammable
waste materials in a secured metal container. The container should be disposed of
properly in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
3.
When cleaning out water based paints or materials with water, spray mineral spirits through the gun
afterwards to prevent corrosion.
To Clean Clogged Passages
1.
Disassemble the spray gun and soak all metal parts in thinner or appropriate solvent for 15-30 minutes. A
longer soaking time may be required for severely clogged passages. Clean the parts with a soft wire brush.
NOTICE: Do not use lye or other alkalis solutions to clean the spray gun. These solutions attack
aluminum alloys and will ruin the spray gun over time.
NOTICE: Never use metal objects to clean precisely drilled passages. Damaged passages will cause
improper spraying.
2.
Apply light machine oil to to the leather packing. This will help prevent air leakage. If air leakage continues
after application of oil, the packing is probably worn out and should be replaced. The gun’s packing and
o-rings will be damaged by leaving the spray gun assembly immersed in solvent over extended periods.
