SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Sparks and open flames are strictly prohibited.
Paints can be highly flammable and can cause fire.
Avoid any ignition sources such as smoking, open flames, electrical goods, etc.
2. Never use the following HALGOGENATED HYDROCARBON SOLVENTS
which can cause cracks or dissolution on gun body (aluminium) by chemical reaction.
- Unsuitable solvents methyl chloride, dichloromethane, 1.2-dichloroethane,carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene, 1.1.1-
trichloroethane
- Be sure that all fluids and cleaners are compatible with gun parts.
We can supply a list of materials used to manufacture the product.
3. Securely ground spray gun by using air hose with built-in ground wire.
Ground wire : Less than 1MΩCheck the earth stability periodically.
If not, insufficient grounding can cause fire and explosion due to static electric sparking.
1. Never point gun towards people or animals.
If done, it can cause inflammation of eyes and skin or bodily injury.
2. Never exceed maximum operating pressure and maximum operating Temperature.
3. Be sure to release air and fluid pressures before cleaning, disassembling or servicing.
If not, remaining pressure can cause bodily injury due to improper operation or scattering of cleaning liquid.
In order to release pressure, first stop supply of compressed air, fluid and air to spray gun. Then remove fluid
adj. knob and pull fluid needle set towards you.
4. Tip of fluid needle set has a sharp point.
Do not touch the tip of fluid needle during maintenance for the protection of the human body.
1. Use in a well-ventilated site by using spray booth.
If not, poor ventilation can cause organic solvent poisoning and catch fire.
2. Always wear protective gear safety glasses, mask, gloves.
If not, cleaning liquid, etc., can cause inflammation of eyes and skin.
If you feel something wrong with eyes or skin, immediately see a doctor.
3. Wear earplugs if necessary.
Noise level can exceed 85 dB(A), depending on operating conditions and
painting site
4.If operators pull the trigger many times during operation, it may cause carpal tunnel syndrome.
Rest if you feel any discomfort in your hand.
1. Never alter this spray gun.
If done, it can cause insufficient performance and failure.
2. Enter working areas of other equipment (robots, reciprocators, etc.) after machines have been turned off.
If not, contact with them can cause injury.

3. Never spray foods or chemicals through this gun.
If done, it can cause accident by corrosion of fluid passages or adversely affect health by mixed foreign matter.
4. If something goes wrong, immediately stop operation and find the cause. Do not use again until you have solved the
problem.
HOW TO CONNECT
1. Connect an air hose to air nipple tightly.
2. Connect a gravity cup, to fluid nipple tightly.
3. Flush the gun fluid passages with a compatible cleaner.
4. Pour paint into container, test spray and adjust fluid output as well as pattern width.
HOW TO OPERATE
Recommended paint viscosity differs according to paint property
and painting conditions. 12 to 23 sec. / Ford cup#4 is recommendable.
Keep fluid output as small as possible to the extent that the job will
not be hindered. It will lead to better finishing with fine atomization.
Set the spray distance from the gun to the work piece as near as
possible within the range of 100_200 mm (3.9_7.9 in).As this gun is
operated at low air pressure, high transfer efficiency will not be obtained
if the spray distance is too far.
The gun should be held so that it is perpendicular to the surface of the work
piece at all times. Then, the gun should move in a straight and horizontal line.
Arcing the gun causes uneven painting.
Pulling the trigger of the gun with the pattern adj. set fully opened adjust
the air regulator in the spray booth to obtain 1.0~1.3 bar ( 14~18 PSI) at the
gun inlet as issued on specifications table ahead.
In this way the gun will atomize within 0.7 bar (10 PSI) inside air cap.
NOTE: Using air hose 12m (39.4ft) long, the inner diameter must be
a minimum 8 mm (0.315 in) so the gun can have the correct air volume to atomize at 0.7 bar (10 PSI) inside air cap.
CAUTION
- Use clean air filtered through air dryer and air filter. If not, dirty air can cause painting failure.
- When you use this gun for the first time after purchasing, adjust fluid needle packing set.
Slowly tighten fluid packing seat and loosen a bit when fluid needle set does not return
smoothly, and adjust so that fluid needle set smoothly moves.
- When you use this gun for the first time after purchasing, clean fluid passages spraying
cleaner and remove rust preventive oil.
If not, remaining rust preventive oil can cause painting failure such as fish eyes.
- Firmly fix cup to spray gun. If not, disconnection and drop of cup can cause bodily
injury.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
Step-by-step procedure Important
1.Pour remaining paint to another container. Clean fluid passages and air cap set. 1. Incomplete cleaning can fail pattern shape and uniform particles.
Spray a small amount of cleaner to clean fluid passages. Especially clean fully and promptly after use with two-component paint.
2.Clean each section with brush soaked with cleaner and wipe out with waste cloth. 2. Do not immerse the whole gun in cleaner. If done, it can damage parts.
When cleaning, never scratch any holes of air cap set, fluid nozzle, or
fluid needle set.
3.Before disassembly, fully clean fluid passages. 3. During disassembly, do not scratch seat section.
(1) Disassemble fluid nozzle. (1) Remove fluid nozzle after removing fluid needle set or while keeping

(2) Disassemble fluid needle set. (2) Be careful when handling tip of fluid needle set since it is sharp.
You do not need to remove fluid adj. guide set from gun body. Disassemble fluid adj. guide set as little as possible.
Remove fluid adj. knob and fluid needle spring, then pull out fluid needle

Where to inspect Parts replacement standard
1. Each hole passage of air cap and fluid nozzle Replace if it is crushed or deformed.
2. Packings and O rings Replace if it is deformed or worn out.
3. Leakage from seat section between fluid nozzle and fluid needle set. Replace them if leakage does not stop after fully cleaning fluid nozzle and
fluid needle set. If you replace fluid nozzle or fluid needle only, fully
match them and confirm that there is no leakage.
WARNING
- First release air and fluid pressure fully according to item No. 3 of “Improper use of equipment” of WARNING on
page 2.
- Tip of fluid needle set has a sharp point. Do not touch the tip of needle valve during maintenance for protection of
the human body.
- Be careful not to damage the tip of the fluid nozzle or put your hand on it.
- Only an experienced person who is fully conversant with the equipment can do maintenance and inspection.
CAUTION
- Never use commercial or other parts instead of ANEST IWATA original spare parts.
- Never immerse the whole gun into liquid such as cleaner.
- Never damage holes of air cap, fluid nozzle or fluid needle.
