OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Gravity-feed Spray Gun has a pattern
adjusting knob (1), a paint adjusting knob (2),
and an air adjusting knob (3) that are used to
obtain the desired pattern, to control the output
volume of paint, and to obtain fine atomization,
respectively (fig E).
PATTERN ADJUSTMENT
Rotate the pattern adjusting knob clockwise to
form a circular spray pattern and rotate the
knob counter-clockwise to form an elliptical
spray pattern.
PAINT ADJUSTMENT
Rotate the paint adjusting knob clockwise to
reduce the output volume of paint and rotate
the knob counter-clockwise to increase the
output volume of paint.
AIR VOLUME ADJUSTMENT
Rotate the air adjusting knob clockwise to
reduce the output volume of air and rotate the
knob counter-clockwise to increase the output
volume of air.
Operation
1. Plug in compressor, turn it on set the
pressure regulator to 40 PSI, attach one
end of the air hose to the compressor
and the other end of the air hose (1) to
the air tool (2) (fig F).
2. Hold the spray gun (1) so that the nozzle
is approximately 6 to 12” from the work
surface, perpendicular to the spraying
area (fig G).
Note:
Do some practice sprays while adjusting
the spray pattern and setting up the gun, using
a spare surface (scrap piece of metal).
3. Squeeze the trigger (1) of the spray gun
(2). Start moving the gun before pressing
the trigger and release the trigger before
stopping the gun movement at the end
of each stroke. This procedure will blend
each stroke with the next without any
overlap or unevenness (fig H).
4. Move the spray gun (1) at a constant
pace in a back and forth parallel
direction, maintaining a uniform distance
from the surface to be painted (fig I).
5. Repeat the strokes until a uniform
coating is formed.
Potential hazard that could result in serious injury or loss of life.
WARNING!
• Do not exceed the maximum pressure for the Air-powered Gravity-feed
Spray Gun or any other parts in the compressor system. Failure to comply
could lead to serious injury or loss of life.
• Never aim or spray at yourself or anybody else as this could cause serious
injury. Failure to comply could lead to serious injury or loss of life.
• After unpacking the tool, inspect it carefully and check thoroughly for
any damage that may have occurred during transit. Ensure the tightness
of fittings, bolts, etc., before performing service operation.
performed.
NOTE:
Use a piece of cardboard as a shield to capture
the loss of spray paint at the ends of the workpiece to
protect other surfaces from being painted.
