Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that vapors may be inhaled. Read all instructions with the mask to ensure
Chart 1 - Material Needle/Nozzle Combination
that the mask will provide the necessary protection against the inhalation of harmful vapors.
NEVER point the spray gun at any part of the body, or at anyone else.
!CAUTION Tipping the gun causes the gun to clog. Dried spray material also clogs the pressure delivery tube and fittings. The spray gun does not function when clogging occurs.
When not in use, be sure to disconnect the hose and place the gun on a solid, level surface to avoid tipping.

5.Remove the retaining ring, air cap, nozzle, material control knob, spring, and needle assembly (Fig. 5).
IMPORTANT: The needle and nozzle are a matched assembly. It is very important that both the needle and nozzle are correctly selected and installed. The needle/nozzle kits are identified by groove rings machined into both the needle, and the nozzle. Make sure that the number of rings in the nozzle and the needle match. Failure to match these two components properly results in poor finish quality.
