How to connect
・
Use clean air filtered through air dryer and air filter.
If not, dirty air can cause painting failure.
・
Before using the spray gun for the first time, clean fluid passageswith thinner to remove rustpreventive oil.
If not cleaned, the rustpreventive oil can cause paint failure, such as fisheyes.
・
Firmly connect hose or cup to spray gun.
If not,disconnection of hoseor 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 fluidpassage with a compatiblesolvent.
Step4. Pour paint into container, test spray and adjust fluid output as well as pattern width.

Maintenance and inspection
・
First releaseair and pressure fully according to item No.3 of “Improper use of equipment” of WARNING on page 2.
・
Only an experienced person who is fully knowledgeable ofthe equipment should perform maintenance and inspection.
・
pH value shall be 6 to 8, otherwise could cause corrosion.
・
Only use genuine ANEST IWATAparts for any maintenanceor
Step-by-step procedure
Pour remaining paint to another container. Clean fluid passages and
Spray a small amount of thinner into fluid passages to clean them.
Incompletecleaning canresult in poorspraypatternand
It is especially importantclean the gun fully and promptly after using two-component paint.
Clean each section with brush soaked with thinner and wipe out with wastecloth.
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 tip of the fluid nozzle or needle.
3. Beforedisassembly, fully clean fluid passages.

93538601)
3. During disassembly, avoid scratchingthe needle seating surface.
Either first remove the fluid needle or hold the trigger back while removingthe fluid nozzle,
to protect the seating surface.
Ifyouneedtoadjustfluidneedlepackingset,firsttightenitbyhand(withfluidneedleinplace).
Then tighten it further about 1/6 turn (60-degree) by spanner.
Whenyouremoveneedlepackingset, do notleavethe plastictipofthepackinginthespray

If you tighten the fluid needle packing set too much, fluid needle will not move smoothly,
resultinginpaintleakage fromtipofthefluidnozzle.Trytoadjust itcarefully whilepullingthe

If you tighten it too much, first fully loosen it and then retighten again carefully.
5. To assemble the airvalve, first assemble the air valve, air valve spring, and fluid adj. guide
assy. together.Next,insert fluid needle into fluid adj. guide assy., thenfitittospraygun body
and screw fluid adj. guide assy. in.
Ifyoutryto fit airvalvespring 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 gun body,fully turn
theadjustmentknobscounterclockwiseto open.Onceinthegun body thepatternadj.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 side as the fluid needletip.
7. If plastic tip is on the wrong side, it may not operate normally. Incorrect installation of the
needle spring may cause a heavy trigger pull.
Parts replacement standard
1. Eachhole passage of air cap assy and fluid nozzle Replace if it is crushed or deformed.
2. Packing and O ring Replace if it is deformed or worn out.
3. Leakage from seating surface between fluid nozzle and fluid needle Replace them if leakage does not stop after fullycleaning the fluid nozzle and needle.
If you replace the fluid nozzle or fluid needle only, ensure they fully match and confirm that
there is no leakage.
