CAUTION:
All air pressure in the system should be rated at 29 to 50 psi. Higher or
lower pressure can adversely influence the operation or cause damage to this tool.
NOTE:
To maintain
10 PSI at the nozzle, use a minimum of 29 psi at the
inlet.
TOOL PREPERATION
1. Check tool for worn or damaged parts. Repair or replace as necessary.
2. Check trigger to ensure that it moves freely.
3. Connect tool to air supply.
4. Adjust air pressure based on paint viscosity and paint manufacturer’s
recommendation. (fig 2)
5. Clean paint guns before use, to ensure any factory oils or pigments are not present.
Do not use halogen hydrocarbon or acidic solvents to clean paint guns.
6. Pour paint into cup.

GUN HANDLING
For best results, please follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface. Spraying in an arc will not
give good results. (Fig. 3)
2. Keep gun moving from one side to the other while spraying. If you stop
moving the gun while you are spraying, too much paint will build up and
begin to run. Begin the horizontal movement of the gun before you begin
spraying. Also, keep the gun at a constant distance 6-12 inches from the
surface. (Fig. 4)
Operating Instructions
POWER SOURCE
This tool operates best on a clean, dry supply of compressed air delivered at 29 to
50 psi. Use of a moisture trapping air filter (ATD-7812) is highly recommended as
moisture or foreign matter can damage the internal parts of this tool.
