Spraying Corners:
When spraying outside corners, point the center of the pattern at the corner and
continue overlapping passes on adjacent surfaces by 50%. When spraying inside corners, first use a
narrow vertical or horizontal pattern (or a round pattern) to get in the corner itself and continue
overlapping passes on adjacent surfaces by 50%.
Always spray hard to reach areas, curved surfaces, and corners and edges first; spray flat surfaces last.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
BASIC CLEAN-UP
If you are
taking a break
or plan to spray the same material again within a reasonable time:
1. Turn off the turbine and disconnect the gun from the hose.
2. Turn the Material Flow Adjustment Screw at the back of the gun clockwise until it stops and wipe
the Fluid Tip. This will ensure that the Needle closes the Fluid Tip air tight, at which point,
depending on the material, material can be left in the cup overnight or for a few days. DO NOT
leave the material in the cup if it is catalyzed or has a limited pot life.
When you are
finished
your spraying project, remember that the cup remains pressurized even after the
turbine is shut off and the gun is disconnected from the hose.
1. Slowly slide the Cam Lever sideways and tilt the gun to release the pressure from the cup.
2. Remove the paint cup from the gun. While removing the cup, squeeze the trigger on the gun to
drain all the material from the siphon tube into the cup.
3. Empty the excess material from the paint cup and clean it with an appropriate cleaning solvent.
4. Pour some cleaning solvent in the clean paint cup, install it on the gun and spray it into a bucket
until the spray is clear.
5. To clean the underside of the Cup Top, either shake the gun when spraying the cleaning solvent,
or use a brush with cleaning solvent to brush it clean.
6. Clean the Air Cap and the outside of the gun as necessary with a rag and cleaning solvent.
Warning:
Do not submerse entire gun in cleaning solvent.
This will damage the inner components of spray gun such as o-rings and gasket that do not come in
contact with the material being sprayed.
When spraying inside and/or outside corners, spray the
center of the spray pattern on the corner so that material
is applied to each of the adjacent surfaces
