Spray Gun Terms (Continued)
type of operation is used with a compressor equipped with a tank or with a large factory air system. Do not use with a continuous run compressor that does not have a tank.
VISCOSITY – A measurement of the resistance of the flow of a liquid.
ATOMIZATION - Conversion of liquid to spray droplets (mist).
PATTERN CONTROL KNOB – Used to form the proper pattern (size and shape) of material as it is sprayed from the gun to the work piece.
FLUID CONTROL KNOB – Used to control the amount of material being mixed with air.
PAINT TANK – An auxiliary pressurized paint reservoir that allows continuous spraying of large amounts of paint without stopping for refills as with a canister. It also allows using the spray gun at any angle or orientation.

! WARNING
Use a face mask/respirator and protective clothing when spraying. Always spray in a well ventilated
area to prevent health and fire hazards. Refer to Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) of spray material for details.
!DANGER
Never spray closer than 25 feet to the compressor! If
possible, locate compressor in separate room. Never spray into the compressor, compressor controls or the motor.
3.Do not smoke or eat when spraying paint, insecticides, or other flammable substances.
! WARNING
Do not spray flammable materials in vicinity of open flame or near
ignition sources. Motors, electrical equipment and controls can cause electrical arcs that will ignite a flammable gas or vapor. Never store flammable liquids or gases in the vicinity of the compressor.
4.When spraying and cleaning, always follow the instructions and safety precautions provided by the material manufacturer (Refer to MSDS).
Do not spray acids,

6.Always work in a clean environment. To avoid injury and damage to the workpiece, do not aim the spray gun at any dust or debris.
! WARNING
Do not use pressure that exceeds the operating pressure of any of the
parts (hoses, fittings, etc.) in the painting system.
Keep hose away
! CAUTION from sharp objects. Bursting air hoses may cause injury. Examine air hoses regularly and replace if damaged.
7. Always use a pressure regulator on the air supply to the spray gun.
