Before Using Your Spray
Gun
1. Set up spray gun as described
in the "How to Set Up Spray
Gun" paragraph in the
"Assembly" section of this
manual.
To Use Spray Gun
1. The position of the air cap horns
will determine the fan spray
pattern. Loosen air cap and rotate
horns to achieve desired pattern.
Tighten air cap.
2. Turn fluid control knob clockwise
until it stops, do not force. This
will shut off the fluid flow. NOTE:
The fluid or density of “fan spray”
is controlled by fluid control
knob.
3. Turn pattern control knob
counterclockwise until first thread
is flush with gun body. NOTE: Air
flow is controlled by pattern con-
trol knob.
DO NOT turn pattern
control knob or fluid
control knob counter clockwise after
first thread is flush with the gun
body. They are under pressure when
the gun is triggered and could leave
the gun with force.

• Don't arc strokes, move the gun
parallel to work.
• Pattern should be
shaped as shown, if not
see "Troubleshooting"
section.
• Care should be exer-
cised when handling spray gun to
avoid damage to the orifice of the
air cap and tip of fluid nozzle.
Damage to these parts results in
irregular spray patterns.
• Practice on a cardboard target to
make sure pattern size and
material consistency are correct
before spraying on actual project.
Operating Tips
• To reduce overspray and obtain
maximum efficiency, always spray
with the lowest possible fluid/air
pressure.
• Hold the gun perpendicular to the
surface, 4" to 6" distance.
• Two thin coats will produce a
better finish than one heavy coat.
• Mask off areas not being
sprayed.
• Follow contour.
• Overlap each stroke 50%.
• Ends are feathered by triggering.
That is, begin stroke before
pulling trigger and releasing just
before ending the stroke.
• Spray edges and corners first.
This will reduce overspray while
providing good coverage on
corners.

los materiales que se están pulverizando. Algunas
máscaras proveen de protección limitada contra
materiales tóxicos y solventes de pintura nocivos. En
caso de duda respecto al equipo y los materiales,
consultar con un especialista en seguridad o en higiene
industrial.
La exposición prolongada al chorro de aire puede
causar lesiones permanentes al oído. Al operar un equipo para pulverizar siempre usar
protección para los oídos.
Riesgo de objetos en suspensión aérea
Cie
rtas partes están presurizadas cuando la
pistola está conectada a una línea de aire
presurizada y pueden salir disparadas si se
desarma la pistola.
El aire comprimido puede propulsar tierra,
partículas metálicas, etc. y podría causar daños
personales.
Nunca apuntar la boquilla ni el rociador hacia una
persona ni a parte alguna del cuerpo.
Al pulverizar siempre usar gafas o anteojos de
seguridad que cumplan con la norma Z87 de ANSI.
RIESGO
¿QUÉ PUEDE OCURRIR? ¿CÓMO PREVENIRLO?

17- SP D29783
Las pistolas rociadoras operan a presiones y
velocidades suficientemente elevadas para poder
penetrar el tejido humano y animal, lo que podría
resultar en una amputación u otras lesiones serias.
¡Consulte inmediatamente con un médico!
Jamás coloque las manos frente a una boquilla
rociadora.
Oriente el rociado fuera del alcance propio y de otras
personas.

Cómo armar
La pistola pulverizadora Craftsman se
despacha completamente ensamblada y
preparada para pulverizar alimentándose
por sifón.
Esta pistola fue tratada con un
anticorrosivo antes de su despacho, por lo
que antes de usarse debe lavarse
internamente con un solvente apropiado
(destilado mineral).
Para lavar internamente la pistola antes
de su uso
1. Desmontar el contenedor de la tapa
en la pistola. NOTA: Deslizar la
palanca a la derecha, rotar la tapa y
desprender el contenedor.
2. Llenar 3/4 partes del contenedor con
un solvente adecuado.
3. Reinstalar el contenedor en la tapa en
la pistola y deslizar la palanca a la
izquierda para asegurar el
contenedor.
4. Conectar la línea de suministro de
aire al conector de 1/4" NPT.
Referirse al párrafo "Conexión" en
esta sección.
5. Apretar el gatillo para disparar el
solvente y que pase por la pistola.
Referirse al párrafo "Como usar la
pistola pulverizadora" en la sección
"Operación" de este manual.
6. Pulverizar todo el solvente hasta que
se agote y evacuar cualquier residuo
del contenedor.
Como conectar la pistola
pulverizadora al suministro de aire
1. Conectar la línea de suministro de
aire al conector de entrada de 1/4"
NPT. NOTA: Para la mejor presión de
aire para pulverizar, se recomienda
usar una manguera de 3/8" de
diámetro. Si se usa una manguera de
aire de 1/4" ó 5/16" de diámetro, la
presión de aire debe graduarse en el
regulador para compensar por la
caída de presión de aire entre el
regulador y la pistola pulverizadora.

Esta pistola está
diseñada para
usarse con la mayoría de materiales para
acabados que no sean corrosivos o
altamente abrasivos; ya que éstos
producirían un mal rendimiento y/o la
falla de la pistola.
1. Mezclar el material siguiendo las
instrucciones del fabricante. La mezcla
debe quedar sin grumos y debe poderse
vaciar fácilmente. Deben eliminarse los
grumos y partículas extrañas colándose
con un filtro de pintura adecuado.
NOTA: El uso de un medidor de
viscosidad de Sears ayudará medir la
viscosidad o espesor del material.
