DO NOT OPERATE SPRAY GUNS WITHOUT PERSONAL SAFETY EQUIPMENT
EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
1. Air Compressor that will hold a minimum of
20 PSI at the gun. Important: Position a
pressure gauge at the end of your air hose
next to the gun to be assured of the PSI
required to satisfactorily spray your coating.
2. High Pressure Air Hose:
a. Air hose lengths up to 50 feet MUST
have an I.D. of 3/8 inch.
b. Air hose lengths greater than 50 feet
MUST have an I.D. of 1/2 inch.
START-UP
1. Attach the air source to the base of the
MFG-3100 Spray Gun
.
BEFORE SPRAYING
1. Before you use your paint, make certain it is
properly mixed. This is particularly true of
multi-component paints. Use a paint shaker,
rotary mixer, or paint paddle to achieve a
homogeneous mixture. We recommend
splitting your paint into two parts; the top will
typically be lighter and the bottom will be
heavier. Completely stir the bottom half of
the paint and slowly add small amounts of
the top half into the heavier bottom.
2. Strain your paint to remove impurities. Use
a cone strainer, or a 100-mesh nylon bag or
equivalent strainer.
3. Thin your paint according to the
manufacturer’s specifications.
4. Needle packings (GG-024) are preset at the
factory and self adjusting. Replace packing
cartridge when necessary.
SPRAYING
1. Air pressure forces paint from the paint
container into the fluid chamber of the gun
and out through the nozzle where the flow of
air breaks the paint stream into tiny particles
(atomization), creating the spray.
a. Needle position controls the amount of
paint flowing through the fluid nozzle.
b. Trigger action controls needle position.
c. The Fluid Control Knob (GG-015) at the
rear of the spray gun controls trigger
action. Turning to the right will reduce
fluid flow; turning to the left increases flow.
2. Adjust the air until you have the desired
atomization. Too much air or fluid pressure
will cause the gun to spray improperly and
will create unnecessary overspray! You
need only a small amount of air as you are
atomizing only a small amount of paint.
3. Align the Flexible Extension (MF-008) to the
desired position.
4. If you are having problems with the
operation of your paint gun, check the
Trouble Shooting Guide at the end of the
manual for possible causes and solutions.
