IMPORTANT: To operate correctly, this tool requires airflow of at least 4.4

cubic feet per minute (SCFM) at 60 pounds per square inch (PSI) at the tool.

Check the specifications of your air compressor to be sure that it can support

both the minimum SCFM and PSI required. The air hose length could affect

how much air pressure the tool is actually receiving. You may need to adjust

the air pressure higher on the air regulator to achieve the max working

pressure of 60 PSI.

SAFETY INFORMATION

RISK OF EYE OR HEAD INJURY

WARNING

WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT

This tool is capable of spraying

flammable materials which can result

in fire or explosion.

Never operate sprayer in the vicinity

of open flame or near ignition sources

(pilot lights, cigarettes, portable

electric lamps, etc).

chemical reaction and equipment

rupture. Failure to follow this warning

can result in death, serious injury, or

property damage.

Do not use chlorinated solvents

(e.g. 1-1-1-trichloroethene, methylene

chloride). Many spray guns contain

aluminum, which reacts strongly to

chlorinated solvents. Contact the

solvent or coating manufacturer

regarding questions about potential

chemical reactions.

Compressed air can be hazardous,

propelling objects or particles that

can cause injury into soft tissues

such as eyes and ears.

Never direct air at yourself or anyone

else.

Never leave a pressurized tool

unattended.

Disconnect tool from air supply when

tool is not in use or when changing

accessories to prevent accidental

operation.

the spay gun and make sure that

the gauge on the compressor is

reading 60 PSI. If necessary,

adjust the pressure coming out

of the compressor until the gauge

reads 60 PSI with the trigger

being pulled.

NOTE: If you use the air pressure

regulator adjust the air pressure so

the gauge on the regulator reads

60 PSI when the trigger is pulled.

5. Remove air line and Lid (I) by

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before using desired paint in the spray gun, spray a compatible thinner or

solvent through the gun to remove any containments and residue.

Before adding paint, make sure all thinner or solvents are removed from the

spray canister.

It is recommended that you pour the material through a filter into a smaller

container prior to filling the paint cup.

Set up a piece of cardboard or other scrap material to use as a target to test

spray. Continue to test spray until the desired spray pattern is achieved.

1. Adjust the direction of the fan by loosening

the air cap ring (A1) by hand and turning it

to either the horizontal or vertical direction.

Tighten the air cap ring by hand.

4. With the spray gun 6 in. to 12 in. away

from workpiece, spray a short burst while

turning the fluid knob counterclockwise.

Observe the spray pattern on the

workpiece and adjust the fluid adjustment

knob (E) until desired pattern/atomization

is obtained. If the spray is too fine (caused

by too much air), reduce the air pressure

or open the fluid adjustment knob (E) to

spray more paint. If the spray is too coarse

(or is spitting blobs), reduce the amount of

paint with the fluid adjustment knob (E) or

thin the paint more (See Figure 4).

5. Keep the gun at a right angle as shown

while spraying (See Figure 5).

NOTE: if paint cup is over filled and the gun

is not kept at a right angle during spraying,

there is a good chance that paint will leak

from the vent hole on top of the lid.

NOTE: The fluid adjustment knob (E) can be

adjusted either clockwise or

counterclockwise to finely adjust the

pattern consistency. Before spraying on

workpiece, practice a few minutes on a

scrap workpiece to ensure that the pattern

size and consistency are set correctly.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Always keep the gun in motion while

spraying. Stopping gun movement in

mid-stroke will cause a build-up of paint and

will result in runs. Do not fan the gun from

side to side while painting. This will cause a

build-up of paint in the center of the stroke

and an insufficient coating at each end

(See Figure 6).

Thin coat Heavy coat Thin coat

6. Trigger the gun properly. Begin moving the

gun before squeezing the trigger and

release the trigger before stopping gun

movement. This procedure will

feather/blend each stroke with the next

without showing overlap or unevenness

(See Figure 7).

7. Overlap strokes just enough to obtain an

even coat (See Figure 8).

8. Use a piece of cardboard as a shield to

catch overspray at the edges of the

workpiece to protect other surfaces. Use

masking tape (not included) to cover other

areas if needed.

NOTE:

The amount of paint being applied

can be varied by the speed of stroke,

distance from the fluid adjustment

knob (E). If the speed stroke is too slow,

the paint will be wet on the workpiece

and it may run. If the speed stroke is too

fast, the paint will be dry and uneven on

the workpiece.

NOTE: Two thin coats of paint will yield better

spraying results and have less chance of

runs than one heavy layer.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

To properly maintain and keep your sprayer working at its optimal

performance, it is strongly recommended that the spray gun nozzle be

cleaned and cleared of any clogs or debris using recommended cleaning

solutions such as Mineral Spirits, Paint Thinner or Lacquer Thinner. Consult

with your local retailer in choosing the right clean solution for the material you

are using.

DO NOT USE ACID BASED SOLVENTS, AS ACID BASED SOLVENTS

CAN DAMAGE THE SPRAYER.

ALWAYS REMOVE THE AIR SUPPY FROM THE SPRAY GUN PRIOR TO

PERFORMING ANY CLEANING OR MAINTAINENACE.

KEEP AWAY FROM ANY IGNITION SOURCES.

ALWAYS WEAR PROPER PPE WHILE CLEANING OR PERFORMING

MAINTENACE ON THE SPRAY GUN.

NEVER SUBMERGE THE SPRAY GUN HOUSING INTO SOLVENT

MATERIAL.
