General Operating Instructions
1.Start the compressor, allowing it to come up to the proper pressure for the tool.
2.Wipe off any lubricant that may have been applied from prior use. The Spray Gun can now be tested.
3.Fill the Cup (31) with the appropriate amount of paint (up to 3/4 full) of properly prepared material (see section on “Preparation”.
4.After the compressor cycles off at the proper pressure level, connect the air hose to the Air Inlet Coupling (20).
5.Attach the Cup (31) to the tool using the Cup Mounting Yoke (33) and secure with the Cup Locking Lever (32).
6.If the tool requires more force to accomplish the task, verify that the tool receives sufficient, unobstructed airflow (CFM) and increase the pressure (PSI) output of the regulator up to but not beyond, the maximum air pressure rating of this tool.
CAUTION! TO PREVENT TOOL AND ACCESSORY FAILURE, RESULTING IN INJURY:
Do not exceed the tool’s maximum air pressure rating.
If the tool still does not have sufficient force at maximum pressure but the material being sprayed has proper viscosity, then a larger tool may be required.
7.To prevent accidents, turn off the tool, detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure in the tool, and/or turn the switch to its off position after use. Clean external surfaces of the tool with clean, dry cloth. Then store the tool indoors out of children’s reach.
8.Change Fan Direction.
a.Loosen the Air Ring (2) and turn the Air Cap (1) to change spray pattern between horizontal and vertical.
9.Pattern Adjustment. (Never exceed maximum inlet pressure of 115 PSI.)
a.To reduce air pressure when neces- sary, adjust the air compressor’s pressure regulator.
b.To change between patterns, adjust the Pattern Control Knob (10). Turn counterclockwise (all the way open), to flatten the pattern. Turn clockwise for a round pattern.
10.For best service you should incorpo- rate a regulator and
Note: Compressor pumps discharge condensed water, oil, or other con- taminants along with the compressed air. Condensation causes “fish eyes” to appear in paint patterns. To avoid this problem, install water/oil removal filters and controls (not included) as close to the Spray Gun as possible. If run through the Spray Gun, water or oil will cause damage.
11.You will need to prepare a 1/4" air connector (sold separately) to con- nect to the air inlet on the Spray Gun. First, wrap the 1/4" air connector (not included) with pipe thread seal tape before threading it into the Air Inlet (20). Connect the 3/8" ID air source hose to the Spray Gun.
12.Set the air pressure on your com- pressor to 60 PSI. Do not exceed the maximum operating air pressure of 115 PSI.
13.Check the air connections for leaks.
