Introduction
SPECIFICATIONS:
• 4 CFM @ 29 PSI max. working pressure at the air inlet,
10 PSI max. at the Air Cap
• M16 x 1.5NPS cup attachment threads.
• 1⁄4” NPT Air Inlet threads.
SET-UP:
1.
A 5/16” I.D. minimum air hose at a 25’ maximum length is recommended
for best results. A smaller I.D. hose and greater length may produce
unsatisfactory results.
2.
Review complete instructions and become familiar with the
“feel” of the gun.
3.
Clean out cup and gun with solvent to remove any residual
manufacturing impurities and dry thoroughly.
Operation
Please note that many variables affect the adjustment of a paint gun such
as paint viscosity and type, atmospheric conditions and operator prefer-
ence. The following are some guidelines to get started but some time spent
acquiring the “feel” of the gun and test spraying on sheets of masking paper
are recommended before applying paint to your car. Always “tune” the gun
before each use as conditions may not be the same as the previous use.
1.
The “Fan” control knob (smaller blue knob at the top rear of gun) is
opened by turning in a counter-clockwise direction. This controls the
size of the spray pattern or “fan” and the droplet size. Out with the
knob = larger pattern/larger droplet size, in = smaller pattern/smaller
droplet size.
2.
The “Fluid Needle” control knob (larger blue knob, below the fan con-
trol) is opened by turning in a counter-clockwise direction. This controls
the amount of paint fl ow to the nozzle. Out with the knob = more paint,
less atomization, in = less paint.
3.
The “Air Valve” control knob (small blue knob at the bottom of the gun
near the air inlet) is opened by turning in a counter-clockwise direction.
This is a “fi ne tuning” for air fl ow in the gun. You generally want to start
out fully open and decrease air as needed.
4.
With practice you will quickly acquire a “feel” for the gun and will be
producing professional results.
Maintenance and Cleaning
NOTE:
It is extremely important that the gun be disassembled and cleaned after
every use!
1.
Pour out then wipe out any remaining paint in the cup, fi ll the cup with
water (for water borne paints) or solvent (for solvent based paints) and
spray in a safe area until the spray is clear.
2.
Remove the Cup.
3.
Remove the Fluid Control Knob (lower blue knob at the rear of gun) fully
by turning in a counter-clockwise direction.
