Operation
WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of serious injury, whenever you are instructed to relieve pressure, follow the Pressure Relief
Procedure on page 4.
Adjust the Spray Pattern
1.To adjust the spray pattern, relieve the pressure. Engage the safety latch and loosen the tip guard retaining nut. Turn the spray tip so the groove is horizontal for a horizontal spray pattern, and vertical for a vertical pattern. Tighten the nut.
2.The spray tip orifice size and spray angle deter- mines the coverage and size of pattern. When more coverage is needed, use a larger spray tip rather than increasing fluid pressure.
WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
To reduce the risk of a fluid injection injury, never use the gun with the tip guard or trigger guard removed.
CAUTION
Openings in the tip guard are designed to reduce paint buildup on the guard while spraying. Any damage to the sharp edges of the openings causes paint to collect at that area. To reduce the risk of damage, never hang the gun by the tip guard.
Cleaning and Clearing the Spray Tip
Clean off the front of the tip frequently during the day’s operation and at the end of the work day. Always relieve the pressure and use a solvent soaked brush to clean the spray tip and to keep fluid buildup from drying and clogging the spray tip.
If the spray tip clogs while spraying, release the spray gun trigger, engage the trigger safety, shut off the pump, and relieve the pressure. Then, remove the air spray tip and blow out the obstruction with air from the front of the spray tip, or let the spray tip and gun nozzle soak long enough to dissolve the obstruction. If the obstruction will not dissolve, jar it out by tapping the back of the spray gun against a flat surface.
CAUTION
Never soak the entire gun in solvent. Prolonged exposure to solvent can ruin the packings.
Flushing the Gun
WARNING
SKIN INJECTION HAZARD
Before flushing, be sure the entire sys- tem and flushing pails are properly grounded. Refer to Grounding on page
4.Relieve the pressure and remove the spray tip from the gun. Always use the lowest possible fluid pressure, and maintain firm
Relieve the pressure, remove the spray tip, and then flush the gun and spray system with a compatible solvent. Always flush the gun before the fluid being sprayed can dry in it.
