SET-UP
• Remove all components, identify them and become familiar with their purpose.
•
BEFORE FIRST USE
– Following Gun Cleaning Procedure, clean out the paint cup, nozzle as
well as the paint gun internal air and paint passages with a solvent such as Eastwood PRE
or Aerosol Injected Cleaner to remove any residual manufacturing impurities or lubricants
that may be present. Dry thoroughly.
• A 3/8” I.D.
minimum
air hose at a 25’
maximum
length is strongly recommended for best
results. Smaller I.D. hose and greater length may produce unsatisfactory results.
• A clean, dry, regulated air supply is required.
• Attach the included “on the gun” regulator to accurately control gun pressure while painting.
IMPORTANT NOTES BEFORE PAINTING:
1.
A starting point Regulator setting is 30-43 PSI [2-3 Bar]. Please note that many variables affect
the adjustment of a paint gun including paint viscosity and type, atmospheric conditions such
as humidity, barometric pressure and temperature as well as air inlet pressure and
operator preference. Always “tune” the gun before each use as prevailing conditions may
not be the same as the previous use.
2.
It is always best to test spray on sheets of cardboard or masking paper with the actual paint
you will be applying while making your adjustments to become familiar with the gun and
achieve the ideal Fluid Control Setting.
3.
Remember that a small amount of product wasted at this point can avoid disappointment in
your results and the need to re-do your work later.
