IMPORTANT: To operate correctly, this tool requires airflow of at least 3.7

cubic feet per minute (SCFM) at 29 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 29 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

PREPARATION

SPRAY GUN SET-UP

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM EXPLOSION:

Use only clean, dry, regulated, compressed air to power this tool. Do not use

oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases, or any other bottled gas as a

power source for this tool.

Lubricators should not be used with spray guns. The use of inline

lubricators will contaminate the material and will ruin the paint finish.

present. Compare parts with package contents list. If any part is missing or

damaged, do not attempt to assemble the product.

Estimated Assembly Time: 1-3 minutes.

Tools Required for Assembly (not included):

• 9/16 in. or Adjustable Wrench

• Thread Sealant Tape

• Female Plug

WARNING:

Air Supply Set-up

1. Not all accessories shown are included, but are recommended for best

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1

The paint sprayer will not properly spray unless the fan direction is either set

vertically or horizontal.

• 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.

WARNING

NOTE

1. Adjust the direction of the fan by loosening

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

to either the horizontal or vertical direction.

Tighten the air cap ring by hand.

adjustment knob (I) counterclockwise.

For a smaller pattern, turn spray pattern

adjustment knob (I) clockwise.

3. Loosen lock knob and turn turn the fluid

adjustment knob (D) fully clockwise until

closed.

4. Fill the Paint Cup (F) about 3/4 of the way

and secure the Cup Lid (G).

5. With the spray gun 6 in. to 10 in. away from

workpiece, spray a short burst while turning

the Fluid Adjustment Knob (D)

counterclockwise. Observe the spray

pattern on the workpiece and adjust the

Fluid Adjustment Knob (D) until desired

pattern/atomization is obtained.

NOTE Before spraying on workpiece,

consistency are set correctly.

NOTE If the spray is too fine (caused by too

much air), reduce the air pressure or open

the Fluid Adjustment Knob (D) to spray

more paint. If the spray is too coarse or

spitting blobs, reduce the amount of paint

the paint more (See Figure 5).

6. Keep the gun at a 90° angle to the surface

(See Figure 6) while spraying.

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 8).

NOTE: The amount of paint being applied

can be varied by the speed of stroke,

distance from workpiece and adjustment

of the fluid spray pattern adjustment

knob (D). 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.

7. For proper spraying techniques, start by

moving the gun at the beginning of the

stroke before squeezing the trigger.

Always release the trigger before stopping

gun movement at the end of the stroke.

This procedure will feather/blend each

stroke with the next without showing

overlap or unevenness (See Figure 7).

8. Overlap strokes just enough to obtain an

even coat (See Figure 9).

9. Use a piece of cardboard as a shield to

catch overspray at the edges of the

workpiece to protect other surfaces. Use

masking tape to cover other areas if

needed.

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.
