Grip Spray Gun
as you would a pistol, place two fingers on
the trigger. The first one quarter inch pull releases air only
and is used for cleaning by dusting surfaces before
painting. Continued pull on the trigger retracts the Fluid
Needle and allows maximum fluid passage.
Begin Painting
by applying as light a coat as possible. Take
long strokes from side to side releasing the trigger at the end
of each stroke. For average work, hold head of Spray Gun
6 to 8 inches from the surface; for narrow lines, use short
trigger pull and hold Spray Gun closer to the surface. To get
wider spray patterns, draw Spray Gun away from surface
gradually while trigger is pulled back until desired width of
pattern is obtained. Practice before spraying on your project
is always advisable.
CARE AND CLEANING:
Flush clean solvent through the fluid passages of the Spray
Gun and wipe off the outside. Never leave the entire Spray
Gun immersed in solvent or the leather packings will dry out.
Dirty Aircaps and Tips should be cleaned out by soaking in
solvent and then blown clean with air. Never use wire
objects to ream out the holes in aircaps or tips as this will
damage these items. Always follow safety instructions on
cleaning solvents being used and remember to keep your
containers closed in a safe location.
