Spraying Instructions (continued)
2. Install a 1/4” NPT female connector (not included) into the air inlet port on the
tool (see Figure 2).
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. 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 comfortable reach the work surface.
This spray gun is designed to operate best at pressures
between 25-50 PSI. Never attempt to operate this spray gun
at pressures in excess of 50 PSI.
6. Begin spraying. Hold the gun about 6 to 9 inches from the work surface and
while moving the gun from side to side, depress the trigger to begin applying
material. To avoid blobs, runs and lap marks, keep the gun in motion at all times
before, after and while the trigger is depressed (see Figure 6). Practice painting
on a piece of scrap material or cardboard until the test coating results are
acceptable, making adjustments as follows:
a.
Fluid control knob (see Figure 2) - turn in a clockwise direction to close
and counterclockwise to open. This knob controls the amount of paint that
is mixed with the air.
b. Air adjustment knob (see Figure 2) - for a full pattern, turn the knob in a
counterclockwise direction and for a round pattern, turn the knob
clockwise. This knob is used to create the proper pattern of paint as it is
sprayed from the spray gun.
Do not turn the air adjustment knob or the fluid control 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 pas-
sages 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.
When blowing out the hose, the open end should be aimed away from any person to avoid
blowing solvent into the eyes of skin causing possible injury.
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.
