How to connect
・
Use clean airfiltered through air dryer and air filter.
If not, dirty air can cause painting failure.
・
Beforeusing the spray gun for the first time, clean fluid passages with thinner to removerustpreventive oil.
If notcleaned, the rust preventive oil can cause paint failure, such as fish eyes.
・
Firmly connect hose or cup to spray gun.
If not, disconnection of hose or drop of cup can cause bodily injury
.
Step1. Connect an air hose to airnipple tightly.
Step2. Connect a fluid hose or a container to fluid nipple tightly.
Step3. Flush the spray gun fluid passage with a compatible solvent.
Step4. Pour paint into container, test spray and adjust fluid output as wellas pattern width.

Maintenance and inspection
・
First release air and pressure fully according to item No.3 of “Improper useof equipment” of WARNING on page 2.
・
Only an experienced person who is fully knowledgeable of the equipment should perform maintenance and inspection.
・
pH valueshallbe 6 to 8, otherwise could cause corrosion.
・
Only usegenuine ANEST IWATA parts for any maintenanceor repairs.
Step-by-step procedure
Pour remaining paint to another container.
Spray a small amount of thinner into fluidpassages to clean them.
Incompletecleaningcan resultin poorspraypatternandcontaminatedpaint.
It is especially important clean the gun fully and promptly after using two-component paint.
Clean each section withbrush soaked with thinner and wipe out with waste cloth.
Soaking whole spray gun in solvent may cause spray gun malfunction.
cap assy. itself for extended period may cause a defective spray pattern.
When cleaning, never scratch the air cap assy., fluid nozzle, or fluid needle.
Avoid touching or damaging the tipof the fluid nozzle or needle.
3. Before disassembly, fully clean fluid passages.
Remove fluid nozzle, using a ring spanner, box wrench or optional accessory spanner
(code 93538601)
3. Duringdisassembly, avoid scratching the needleseatingsurface.
Either first remove the fluid needle or hold the trigger back while removing the fluid nozzle,
to protect the seating surface.
If you need to adjust fluid needle packing set, first tighten it by hand (with fluid needle in
place). Then tighten it further about1/6 turn (60-degree) by spanner.
When you remove needle packing set, do not leave the plastic tip of the packing in the
spray gun body.
If you tighten the fluid needle packing set too much, fluid needle will not move smoothly,
resulting in paint leakage from tip of the fluid nozzle. Try to adjust it carefully while pulling
thetrigger and confirming smooth movement of the fluid needle.
If you tighten it too much, first fully loosen it andthen retighten again carefully.
5. To assemble the airvalve, first assemblethe airvalve, air valve spring, andfluidadj. guide
assy. together. Next, insert fluid needle into fluid adj. guide assy., then fit it to spray gun
body and screwfluid adj. guide assy. in.
If you try to fit air valve spring and air valve to the spray gun body without the fluid
needle, the air valve may not be fitted correctly and the packing inside fluid adj. guide
assy. can be damaged.
6. Before assembling the pattern adj.assy. or air adj. assy.back on to the gunbody, fully turn
the adjustment knobs counterclockwise to open. Once in the gun body the pattern adj.
knob and air adj. knob can be tightened.
6. If pattern adj. knob or air adj. knob is not fully opened when tightening into gun body,the tip
of it can contact and damage the seating surface.
7. When you assemble the needle spring on the fluid needle, the plastic tip should be on the
opposite sideas the fluid needle tip.
7. If plastic tip is on the wrong side, it may not operate normally. Incorrect installation of the
needle spring may cause a heavy triggerpull.
Parts replacement standard
1. Eachhole passage of air cap assy and fluid nozzle Replaceif it is crushed or deformed.
2. Packing and O ring Replaceif it is deformed or worn out.
3. Leakage from seatingsurface between fluid nozzle and fluid needle Replacethem if leakage does not stop after fully cleaning the fluid nozzle and needle.
If you replace the fluid nozzle or fluid needle only, ensure they fully match and confirm that
thereisno leakage.
