Spraying Instructions (continued)
a.
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.
b.
Fluid control knob (see Figure 2) - turn in a clockwise direction to
reduce the amount of paint and counterclockwise to increase the
amount of paint. This knob controls the amount of paint that is mixed
with the air.
NOTE: If the fluid control knob is turned in all the
way, the gun will emit only air.
c.
Spray pattern shape (see Figure 5) - loosen the lock ring and turn the
nozzle for the desired spray pattern. Hand tighten the lock ring after
adjustment.
Round pattern
used to draw fine lines with the gun close to the
work surface, for touch up work and for painting surfaces in difficult to
reach areas. To achieve this pattern, turn the air cap at a 45 degree
angle.
Full fan pattern
used with the spray gun 6-9” from the work
surface. To achieve this pattern, turn the air cap either
horizontally or vertically.
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.
