a basement a basement setting.

· The operator must wear shoes and the ﬂ oor must not be wet.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Turbine must not be used in an area contaminated by volatile or

ﬂ ammable materials since sparking can be expected in the nor-

mal operation of the motor. This could ignite the contaminants

causing a dangerous explosion.

· Do not spray ﬂ ammable or combustible materials near an open

ﬂ ame or sources of ignition such as cigarettes, motors, and

electrical equipment.

· Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air

moving through the area. Keep turbine in a well ventilated area.

· Do not spray turbine.

· Turn oﬀ and disconnect power cord before servicing equipment.

· Do not smoke in the spray area.

· Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing

products in the spray area.

· Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and

other ﬂ ammable materials.

· Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.

· Sprayer generates sparks. When ﬂ ammable liquid is used in or

near the sprayer or for ﬂ ushing or cleaning, keep sprayer at least

20 feet (6 m) away from explosive vapors or spraying area.

· Ensure ground prongs are intact on sprayer and extension cords.

· Always disconnect unit from main supply when ﬁ lling the paint

container.

· Never use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other

halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or ﬂ uids containing such

solvents in equipment with aluminum wetted parts. Such use

could result in a serious chemical reaction, with the possibility

of explosion. Consult your ﬂ uid suppliers to ensure that

the ﬂ uids being used are compatible with aluminum parts.

TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD

Toxic ﬂ uids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if

splashed in the eyes or on skin, inhaled, or swallowed.

· Read MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) to know the speciﬁ c

hazards of the ﬂ uids you are using.

GUN HOLDER INSTALLATION

The 2 holes on the top of the Holder require the Black Machine

Screws and Washers. These Screws fit into Threaded Inserts in

the Metal Case. Do not overtighten - snug is fine.

The single Silver-Colored Screw must be installed to the single

hole on the side of the Gun Holder. Once again, please do not

overtighten this screw - snug is fine.

GUN HOLDER USE

Place the Hose Connector 11 (base of the Gun Handle) over the

shaft of the Gun Holder shown in above illustration. Please

ensure it is fully set down to the base of the Shaft. The Spray

Gun will now sit stationary. The Gun can be left on the Holder for

any length of time. It is a convenient resting place between

spraying.

GUN HOLDER

· Always wear appropriate gloves and eye protection

· Always wear a respirator or mask. Read all instructions of the

respirator or mask to ensure that it will provide the necessary

protection against the inhalation of harmful vapors. Please also check

with the local jurisdiction.

· Paint, solvents, insecticides and other materials may be harmful if

inhaled.

· Store hazardous ﬂ uid in approved containers, and dispose of it

according to applicable guideline.

· Do not stop or deﬂ ect ﬂ uid leaks with your hand or body.

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

Misuse of equipment can cause serious injury or death.

· Never aim the spray gun at another person or animal. In the event of

injury, seek expert medical advice immediately.

· Do not operate or spray near children. Keep children away from

equipment at all times.

· Do not overreach or stand on an unstable support. Keep eﬀ ective

footing and balance at all times.

· Stay alert and watch what you are doing.

· Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the inﬂ uence of drugs

or alcohol.

· Do not kink or over-bend the hose.

· Do not use the hose as a strength member to pull or lift the

equipment.

· Do not cover turbine case as this will restrict air to the intake and

result to overheating and premature failure of the motor.

· Do not carry turbine while spraying.

· Check the hose, hose connectors and power cord daily. Any worn or

damaged parts should be replaced immediately.

· Use only genuine Fuji Spray replacement parts.

· It is normal for the turbine air outlet (manifold) to become hot during

GETTING STARTED

Please register your Fuji Spray Product at www.fujispray.com/product-registration

NOTE: Throughout this Manual we have used the generic word ‘Paint’ to

describe all and any coatings. Please substitute the word ‘Paint’ for

whatever finish or coating you are spraying.

Your Fuji Spray M-Model Gun has been adjusted at the factory and is

ready for spraying. To clean out any impurities that may have accumu-

lated during assembly or shipping, we recommend spraying a small

quantity of clean paint thinner through the gun. Before tackling any

serious spraying, experiment with the Gun on a scrap piece of wood

until you become familiar with all the controls.

HOSE CONNECTION

Connect the Hex Nut at the end of the Hose (female connector) to the

Turbine Air Outlet. It is not necessary to use a wrench to tighten this

hex nut.

AIR CONTROL VALVE

The Air Control Valve 2032 is located on the Hose next to the brass

Quick-Connect. It provides you with a means of controlling the air flow

through the Gun. It offers you fingertip control when you need it to

reduce bounceback and overspray. There is one thing to remember

about the Air Control Valve - it is the ‘last in the chain’ after...

1) Thinning the paint

2) Adjusting the shape and size of the spray pattern

3) Adjusting the flow of paint through the gun.

After performing these operations, you should spray a few passes onto a

scrap piece of plywood or cardboard. This will allow you to determine if

the paint (generic word for any type of coating) levels nicely. If there is

‘orange-peel’ then you must thin the product more. Once the gun is

producing a perfect finish with full air, you may then experiment with

turning the air down until bounceback is reduced to a mininum. With

heavier paints (such as latex) spraying may be done with the Valve fully

open (or even removed).

PLASTIC DIAPHRAGM

The 1 Quart pressurized Cup has a plastic Diaphragm 2096 (not found in

the Gravity Spray Gun). This Diaphragm prevents paint from entering the

Pressure Tube 2024. The small air hole in the Diaphragm should not be

placed directly below the air hole in the Nipple. Position the Diaphragm

hole to the rear of the Cup. The Spray Gun can be turned to different

angles when spraying but never turned more than horizontal.

619

CHANGINGSIZE &SHAPEOF THEPATTERN

A) Loosen the Collar #1. Turn theAircap #2 to the horizontal posi-

tion. This setting produces a vertical spray pattern.Always make sure

the Collar is snug tight.

B) Setting theAircap in a vertical position produces a horizontal

spray pattern. To lock it in position, tighten the Collar #1 clockwise

until it stops turning.

C) For smaller pattern sizes, theAircap can be set at horizontal or

vertical.Turnthe Pattern ControlKnob#6(at therearofthe Gun). This

knob adjusts the size of the fan pattern from large to small round and

anywhereinbetween. For regularspraying,the general settingis

about6”-8”wide from 8”distance away.This is apersonalpreference.

If you turn the fan pattern down to a smaller round spray pattern you

will have to reduce the amount of fluid by turning the Fluid Knob #7. If

you do not do this, you will get runs. You can use this much smaller

pattern to spray spindles or the side of a board.

To set the fluid output, turn the Fluid Knob #7 clockwise until you

cannot pull the trigger. Then unscrew it a little until a small amount of

fluid comes out of the Nozzle when you depress the Trigger. Once you

set the fluid to your liking, you can leave it in this position.Always

remember that if there is not enough fluid (paint) you can turn the Fluid

Knobcounter-clockwisefor moreoutput.

AIRCAPSET SELECTION

5 additional setups are available as accessories. Size No.3 is stan-

dard with all Fuji M-Sprayguns. No. 2, 3 or No. 4 can be used for any

type of fine-finishing application. The larger sizes such as No. 4 allow

formorefluid output. Thisisdesirablewhen sprayingfastdrying

lacquers. It allows you to spray wetter to obtain better leveling.

If you do not intend on spraying walls & ceilings then the only additional

setups you would ever need would be the No. 2 Fine and Medium No. 4.

TURBINECAREANDMAINTENANCE

FILTER(S)

It is important to clean or replace your filters regularly. Operating the

Turbineunit withclogged ordirty filterswill causethe Turbineto overheat

andresultin prematurefailure.The FujiHVLPTurbines haveeither1 or

2 Filters. To remove, simply pull the Filters out from Filter Enclosure.

Washinwarm soapy wateranddry before replacing.

All Fuji Filters are a friction fit. The Filter must fill the entire Filter Enclo-

sure.NOTE: Semi-PROandHobby-PRO Turbineshave twosquare fil-

ters, fine and coarse. The fine Filter is installed to the left side and the

coarsetotherightside (asseen lookingatthefrontof theTurbine where

the Hose is connected).

Cleaning your filters regularly is essential to maintaining your

Turbine. It is always a good idea to have a spare pair of filters on

hand.

TurbineFilterpartnumbers:

Semi-PROorHobby-PROTurbine(squareshapefilters) -Part #4009-2

All HVLP Turbines are designed for intermittent use. When taking a

breakbetween coatsorsteppingasidetorefillyour cup,it’sgoodpractice

to turn the Turbine off during this time. This allows the machine to cool

off.

When spraying, always ensure that the Turbine unit is at least 15 feet

away from spray project and in a well ventilated area. This will prevent

any overspray or debris being ingested into the Turbine. Failure to do

this may cause the filters to clog, resulting in damage to the internal

motor.

Itis agood ideato makeuse ofthe TurbineWireless Remote(Accessory

part # 3072). This device allows you to turn the Turbine unit on/off for

yourconveniencewithout havingtowalk back andforthto theTurbine.

Ifyou experiencea problemwith yourTurbine unit,please DONOT tryto

openandservicetheTurbineyourself.Contactusfortechnicalassistance.

Ifitisanissue of no power, checkyourpoweroutlet.Also, tryre-setting

the Breaker on the back of the turbine by pressing it once.

VISCOSITYGUIDE

A Viscosity Cup is included with your Fuji M-System.

To test the viscosity of the paint material, fill the Viscosity Cup to the

brim and time how long it takes for the liquid to empty out through the

hole. We recommend you experiment to find the ideal viscosity for

yourapplicationand record theinformationforthe next time.

Always check with the manufacturer of the coating for assistance in

thinningforspraying.If their product isonlydesignedto be brushed,

they may not be too helpful. But remember that any type of coating

can be sprayed if it is thinned correctly and you have installed the

ideal aircap set.

The chart below illustrates how many SECONDS it should take for the

material to flow out of the viscosity cup. This is only an approximate

guide.

Auto Cellulose 18 - 20 Primers 30 - 40

Lacquers 18 - 20 Sanding Sealers 20 - 22

Enamels 20 - 25 Stains Undiluted

Latex 20 - 30 Creosote Undiluted

Oil-based 20 - 25 Polyurethanes 20 - 25

We suggest thinning around 25% to begin with but this may contra-

venetheair quality controllawsfor your location.Thesolvent used for

thinning is usually the solvent mentioned on the can (instructions for

‘cleaningthebrushes’). However, pleasecheckwith the coatings

manufacturer.

HVLPsprayingismore friendly totheenvironment than mostmethods

ofspraying.It reduces appreciably theamountof unnecessary misting

andfogging(overspray)associatedwith high-pressurespraying.

Spraying with Nitrocellulose lacquer can be hazardous. The lacquer,

fumes and overspray are toxic, flammable and explosive. If

spraying must be done inside an enclosed area, ventilate well. Spray

close to an open window or door and situate a fan to draw out the

fumes(anexplosion-proof motorand explosion-prooflightingwill be

necessary).

Please check with the local Authority having jurisdiction on

this matter.

CLEANINGFLUID PASSAGES

Toclean, flush appropriate solvent (refer to material manufacturer's

cleaning recommendations) through the Spraygun while the paint is

still wet inside the gun. If this type of quick cleaning is performed

frequently, the Spray Gun will function well for many years. 99% of

problems with a Spray Gun stem from clogs in the fluid passages and

(perhaps more important), the Pressure Tube air passages. Please

see Page 13... No Paint (or very little paint).

CLEANINGBEHIND THEFLUIDNOZZLE

RemovetheCollar #1andAircap#2.

Usingthesupplied wrench, removetheFluidNozzle #3. Oncethe Fluid

Nozzle #3 is removed it is relatively easy to clean behind it with the

cleaningbrushand soapy water.

Foramore thorough cleaning,removeall parts atthefront of thebarrel

- Collar,Aircap, Fluid Nozzle etc. You may soak the parts in solvent.

Also, remove the Fluid Knob 7, Spring 9 and NeedleAssembly 8 from

the rear of the gun. The NeedleAssembly can then be soaked and

laterwipedclean.

CLOGGED GUN - THE FLUID COUPLER

If the Fluid Coupler 16 is clogged with dried paint it must be cleaned

while in place in the gun. The Fluid Coupler 16 should never be

removed. Remove the cup assembly by loosening the Nut at the top

of the Assembly. Use the supplied Cleaning Brush to unclog the inside

AWORDABOUT LATEX

Althoughlatexpaint was neveroriginallyintendedto besprayed,a

professionalfinishcan beachievedbyfollowing afewsimple rules.

(Pleasedonot confuse latexwiththe newer water-basedcoatings).

For work such as cabinetry or trim, our equipment can be used

successfully with latex paint. The latex will have to be thinned with

WATER - approximately 20-30% depending on the brand of

paint. And to improvethefinisheven more, youcanuse an additive

that will slow down the drying process so that the paint levels out

nicely.Oneproduct available isFLOETROLfromthe FLOODCom-

panyinOhio. IntheUSA Call1-800-321-3444for yournearest

supplier. (IntheU.K. 0845-0618899).

The idealAircap size setup is either the No. 4 or No. 5 for household

trim,louverdoors etc. TheLatexpaintshould be ‘finish-quality’and

notacheaper grade.

When spraying Latex, please adjust the Fluid Knob to limit the paint

to a finer spray. This will increase the ratio of air to paint and result

in better atomization and a beautiful finish. (Factually speaking, it

doesn’t increase the ratio of air to paint but does the opposite - it

allowstheairatomizing power toworkonless paint therebyimprov-

ing the quality of atomization).Also, it is usually helpful to remove

theaircontrolvalve so thatmoreair passes throughthespraygun.

Finally, adjust the pattern to a maximum size of 8” - 9” (20cm) -

smaller is ok.

Although it is possible to use our equipment for house painting

(walls), and many end users do, we feel that an airless gun or power

roller is better suited for that kind of job. However, if you decide to do

this kind of work, you will need the #6Aircap set.

Remember,whenyou buy acanof paint,lacquer, polyurethane,

varnish etc. over the counter, it will most likely be formulated for

brushing. That means, it will be too viscous (thick) and will require

thinning to spray successfully. This is true even when spraying is

mentioned on the label of the can. Check with the manufacturer of

thecoatingto obtain adviceonthinningtheir product.

LEAKAGEFROMTHENOZZLE

This occurs when the Needle Packing Nut is too tight compressing

theNeedlePacking #12 tightlyaroundthe Needle.

Half fill the cup with water.Attach the Gun to the Hose and turn on the

Turbine blower. Pull theTrigger and release.Checkthe Nozzlefor

waterspurtingout.

Usingthesupplied wrench, GENTLY loosen the Nut(1or 2 degrees

only at a time). This is a very sensitive adjustment.Again pull the

Triggerandrelease. Wipe awaythewater inbetweenadjustments.

Repeat until no water is seen at the Nozzle Hole.

LEAKAGEFROM THENEEDLEPACKINGNUT

This occurs when the Needle Packing Nut is too loose.

Half fill the cup with water.Attach the Gun to the Hose and turn on the

Turbine blower. Usingthe suppliedwrench,GENTLY tighten the

Needle Packing Nut 1 or 2 degrees only. This is a very sensitive

adjustment.Wipe away thewaterinbetween adjustments. Repeat

untilnowater is seenwheretheNeedle passes throughtheNeedle

Packing Nut.

It is a good idea to apply Light Machine Oil or Vaseline to the Needle

Shaft where it passes through the Needle Packing Nut and work it in

and out by pulling the Trigger back and forth. This will lubricate the

NeedlePacking#12.

GENERALCLEANING

To clean the gun after each use, empty all paint from the Cup. Use a

solvent-soakedragtoclean the residueinthe Cup. Then,spraysome

cleansolventthrough the Gunintoaclean rag(toavoidfilling the room

with unnecessary spray) or a bucket. Repeat until the inside of the

fluid passages in the Gun, Metal Fluid Tube etc. are clean. Use the

wet rag to wipe off theAircap and tip of the Fluid Nozzle. TheAircap

can be soaked in thinner.

Do not restrict the Fluid Nozzle when cleaning - this will drive thinned

paint up the pressure tube and into the spraygun which is undesirable.

If this type of cleaning is done while the paint is still wet in the Gun, it

should be all that is necessary to keep the Gun clean enough for next

time.Donot leave liquidsinthe Cup overnightorfor longperiods.

PLEASEDONOTUSEAWIRE BRUSH ORANYTHING METALTO

CLEANTHE GUN OR CUPASTHIS WILLCAUSE DAMAGE.

DO NOT disassemble the Cup Assembly - Threads in your cup

have been sealed at the factory to prevent leakage under

pressure.

The standard 1 quart (1000cc) Cup can be used with most coatings

(includingwater-based).Alsoavailableas an accessoryisour 2093T

Teflon-coatedCup.

CAUTION: Never soak the complete Spraygun in solvent as this

removesthegrease from thepartsand distributes thinnedpaints

throughout the air passages. It could also damage internal parts such

astheSpindleValve orValveSeals. It mayhowever, benecessary

sometimes to soak theAircap No. 2 and Nozzle No. 3. You may soak

only the metal parts in solvent and clean with the soft bristle

Cleaning Brush 9045. Toreassemble,first oil orgreaseallmoving

andthreadedparts.

CAUTION: Do not store the Gun with the cup clamped down

hard as this will cause the gasket to flatten out. Do not lay the

gun down on its side with liquid material in it.

FINISHPROBLEMS

ORANGE PEEL -Ifthe finish isroughand resemblesorangepeel then

the material is too thick. (Or perhaps you have theAir Control Valve

turned down - please check that it is fully open). The ‘paint’ will not

atomize properly and the surface will be spotty. To remedy this, add

morethinner(or appropriate solvent).Forfast dryingproductssuchas

lacquers, you may also want to add a lacquer retarder. This will slow

the drying time allowing the material to flow out and level nicely.

Retardersareavailable for othercoatingstoo, such asPenetrolfor Oil-

basedpaintsorFloetrol for Latex house paints.Theseproducts go

underdifferentnames such as Flow-OutAdditives etc. Pleasecheck

withthecoatings manufacturer.

NOTE:Withthe newer water-basedmaterials‘orangepeel’ is usuallya

result of spraying on too thick a film. Try spraying an extremely

THIN FILM, but still WET coat. With most other coatings, orange

peel is caused by material being too thick or not enough atomizing

power.Thisis whywesuggest leaving theaircontrol valvefullyopen

whenexperimentingwith a newcoatingmaterial,otherwise it will

causeconfusion.If the theaircontrol valve isfullyopen (or perhaps

removedforLatex spraying) thenorangepeel canonlybeone cause-

the material is too thick and must be thinned.

GRITTY FINISH - If the material is too thin, it is likely to run or be

over-atomized,producinga roughgrittyfinish. Trythinningthe product

less and spraying a wetter coat.

FILTER(S)

The M-Series Turbines has 2 Filters. To remove, simply pull the Filters

out from the bottom of the Filter Enclosures. Wash in solvent and dry

beforereplacing.

All Fuji Filters are a friction fit. The Filter must fill the entire Filter

Enclosure.

One of the Filters is Fine and one Coarse - the Fine Filter is installed

to the Left Side and the Coarse to the Right Side (as seen looking at

thefrontof the Turbinewherethe Hose isconnected).

SPRAYGUNPROBLEMS

NO PAINT (OR VERY LITTLE PAINT)

Theairpassingthrough the Pressure Tube 40topressurizethe Cup is

blocked. This means that either theTube itself, the Check Valve, or

one of the two Nipples are blocked.Apipe cleaner can be used for

cleaning the hole in the Nipple.

• PressurizingTubeand/or Nipplesareblocked -COMMON

•TheCupis not tighteneddownsufficientlyby the Leverorthe

Cup Gasket is worn and leaking air

•The Cup is empty

•The metal Fluid Tube is blocked with paint - RARE

•The Fluid Coupler is blocked with paint - RARE

UNEVENSPRAYPATTERN

One of the holes in theAircap may be blocked. Or, the paint could be

dirty and is partially blocking the Fluid Nozzle. Remove theAircap and

clean by soaking in solvent and using the soft Bristle Brush or a rag.

NEVER use metal objects to clean holes in theAircap.

LEAKAGE

If paint material comes out of the Fluid Nozzle without pulling the

Trigger...

• The Needle is not seating in the Fluid Nozzle properly

•The Needle Packing may be too tight preventing the

Needle from moving - See Page 15PackingAdjustment
