CONNECTING THE GUN
Install the paint cup on the gun. Connect the gun to the hose by pulling back the ring on the brass Quick
Connect Coupler and inserting the male tail piece on end of gun handle into the coupler.
NOTE: Be sure that the gun is always clean prior to being used. Any residue and/or particles left in the
paint cup and/or fluid tubes from previous use can spoil a finish and possibly affect the performance of
your sprayer.
TO BEGIN SPRAYING
1. Press the turbine power switch to the down position (variable) and turn the speed controller knob
to maximum.
If your BNB gun is set-up as a bleeder, air will now be blowing out of the Air Cap; if it’s set-up as a
non-bleeder (as supplied), air will only start when the trigger is squeezed. In either case, the cup
is now pressurized – DO NOT remove the cup from the gun when connected to the hose and the
turbine is on.
As a non-bleeder, the BNB gun has a two stage trigger: the first stage releases air through handle
and the second stage releases material from cup.
2. While squeezing the trigger to release material from the cup, slowly turn the Material Flow
Adjustment Screw (at rear of gun) counter-clockwise until the desired material flow is achieved.
To ensure consistent and even material flow across the pattern, work with the trigger as engaged
(squeezed) as possible – if material flow gets too heavy, use a smaller Atomizing Kit.
SPRAY PATTERN – DIRECTION and SIZE
Use the vertical pattern to spray left to right, the horizontal pattern to spray up and down, and the round
pattern for detail work and/or scratch repair.
To adjust the size (width) of the pattern, turn the Fan Size Adjustment Screw at the top back of the gun.
HORIZONTAL PATTERN TEST
To select the desired spray pattern,
loosen the Sleeve Nut and rotate
the Air Cap at the front of the gun.
When the Air Cap is in the
horizontal position, the spray
pattern will be vertical; when in the
vertical position, the spray pattern
will be horizontal; for a round
pattern, turn Fan Size Adjustment
Screw completely clockwise.
