CLEANING SPRAY GUNS WITH PAINT CUPS
1) Empty paint cup; then rinse with appropriate solvent recommended by the spray
material manufacturer.
2) Refill paint cup with cleaning solvent and attach to gun. Spray solvent through the
gun while shaking the gun. Wipe the exterior of the gun with a solvent soaked rag.
Repeat until the gun is clean.
3) Remove the air cap and soak in solvent until clean. Use a small bristle brush for
stubborn stains. If it becomes necessary to clean the air cap holes, use a toothpick
or small brush. Our #19112 Spray Gun Cleaning Kit provides an
assortment of cleaning brushes to maintain your spray guns and help keep them
lasting longer. N

PATTERN ADJUSTMENT FOR PRESSURE HOOKUPS
1) Adjust air pressure to the spray gun according to the recommendations supplied
by the spray material manufacturer. This air pressure is typically between 40 to 60
PSI for conventional spray guns. Adjust air pressure with the trigger pulled and the
air control knob (if applicable) fully open.
2) The width of the “fan spray” is controlled by the pattern control knob. Turn knob
counterclockwise to increase the width of the fan spray pattern. Turn knob
clockwise to decrease the spread of the fan spray pattern for a round pattern.
3) Open the fluid control knob by turning counterclockwise about three turns.
4) Start the tank pressure at 0 PSI and turn the tank regulator slowly to increase fluid
delivery until the desired atomization (spray) pattern is achieved.
5) If the spray pattern is too coarse, reduce the tank pressure with the tank regulator
to reduce the amount of material. Trigger a short burst to relieve the tank pressure,
and then increase tank pressure to slowly until a proper atomization pattern is
achieved.
6) The fluid control knob can be used for fine adjustment of the atomization pattern.
Before spraying the workpiece, practice on a cardboard or
other suitable test target to ensure that the spray pattern size
and consistency are correct.
GUN HANDLING
For best results, please follow these basic guidelines
when spraying:
1) Always keep the spray gun perpendicular to the
surface being painted.
2) Keep the nozzle about 6 to 12 inches from the work
surface throughout the stroke.
3) Always keep the gun in motion while spraying.
Stopping the gun motion in mid-stroke will cause a
build up of paint which can cause runs in the finish.
4) Do not “fan” the gun in an arcing motion as this
creates an uneven finish by producing a build up of
paint in the middle portion of the stroke and thinner
coating at each end of the stroke.
5) Trigger the gun properly - Start the gun moving at
the beginning of each stroke BEFORE SQUEEZING THE TRIGGER and release the
trigger BEFORE STOPPING GUN MOTION at the end of each stroke.
6) The amount of paint being applied to the surface varies due to the speed of the
stroke, distance from the work surface, the adjustment of the fluid control knob
and the air pressure being used. N

7) The material deposited should always be even and wet. Overlap each stroke just
enough to obtain a uniform finish.
8) Use appropriate masking materials (masking paper, tape, etc.) as needed to protect
other surfaces from overspray.
