Please read these instructions before using the equipment
Equipment must not be used in an area contaminated by volatile
or lammable materials. This could ignite the contaminants
causing a dangerous explosion.
• Do not spray lammable or combustible materials near an open
lame or sources of ignition such as cigarettes, motors, and
electrical equipment.
• Never use 1,1,1-Trichloroethane, Methylene Chloride, other
Halogenated Hydrocarbon solvents or luids containing such
solvents in equipment with aluminum wetted pars. Such use
could result in a serious chemical reaction, with the possibility of
explosion. Consult your luid suppliers to ensure that the luids
being used are compatible with aluminum pars.
• Always keep spray area well-ventilated. Always keep a good
supply of fresh air moving through the area.
• Do not smoke in the spray area.
• Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark
producing products in the spray area.
• Always keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers,
rags, and other lammable materials.
• Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
Toxic luids 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 speciic
hazards of the luids you are using.
• Always wear appropriate gloves and eye protection.
• Always wear a respirator. Read all instructions of the respirator
to ensure that it will provide the necessary protection against
the inhalation of harmful vapors. Also check with the local
jurisdiction.
• Paint, solvents, insecticides and other materials may be harmful
if inhaled.
• Store hazardous luid in approved containers and dispose of it
according to applicable guideline.
• Do not stop or delect luid leaks with your hand or body.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD
TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD

V8 Series
Misuse of equipment can cause serious injury or death.
• Health and safety, accident prevention, work and environment
protection regulations and policies are mandatory.
• Never aim the Spray Gun at another person or animal. In the
event of injury, seek exper medical attention immediately.
• Do not operate or spray near children. Always keep children
away from equipment at all times.
• Do not overreach or stand on an unstable suppor. Always keep
efective footing and balance.
• Stay aler and watch what you are doing.
• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the inluence of
drugs or alcohol.
• Check the hose, hose connectors and Spray Gun before

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD
STATIC CHARGE HAZZARD
Static electricity may be produced by luid. Make sure any electrically
conductive object being sprayed, spray area, and spray equipment is
properly grounded to prevent static sparking. Improper grounding or
sparks can cause a hazardous condition and result in electric shock,
ire, or even explosion and other serious harm.
THE EMPLOYER IS RESPONSIBLE TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION
TO THE OPERATOR OF THE EQUIPMENT
Prop 65 for California Residents
WARNING: This product may contain chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer, birh defects,
or other reproductive harm
Warning: Sound levels produced by spray guns during use may be
harmful to the ear depending on the set-up. It is recommended that
ear protection is always worn at all times when spraying.

Cup Assembly Installation:
Inser Paint Strainer into the base of the Cup from the outside. Attach the
cup assembly by screwing into the Fluid Coupler of the Spray Gun. Hand-
tightened is enough.
Connecting to Air Supply:
1. Attach pressure regulator with gauge (not included) to the Spray
Gun’s air inlet
2. Attach hose connector itting (not included) to pressure regulator
with gauge
3. Connect air supply hose
(OPTIONAL) Attach hose connector itting directly to the Spray Gun’s air
inlet and connect air supply hose
NOTE: For best spray results, it is recommended using a 5/16” ID air
pressure hose. If hose is over 20 then a 3/8” diameter would be ideal.
Using a smaller diameter hose will result in a signiicant drop in pressure.
NOTE: Air supply must be clean, moisture free, oil free air and proper-
ly regulated.
Most HVLP and MP (Mid-Pressure or reduced pressure) compressor
Spray Guns will operate between 10 and 20cfm. A 20cfm Spray Gun will
drain the air from a moderate sized 5hp compressor. If an additional air
tool is connected to the circuit and used during this time, the Spray Gun’s
atomizing pressure will vary. This will result in a lower quality perormance
and inconsistent outcome. For best results, a larger compressor is
recommended.
ASSEMBLY

V8 Series
To clean out any impurities that may have accumulated during assembly
or shipping of the Spray Gun, we recommend spraying a small quantity of
clean paint thinner through the gun. If you intend to spray water-based
paints and materials, make sure luid passages and components that may
have come in contact with paint thinner are completely dry.
• Mix material to manufacturer’s requirements, and properly strain.
• Fill the material cup no more than maximum 3/4 full - Do not overill.
• As a safety guard and reference point, turn Fluid Control Knob (#15)
clockwise, do not force. This will prevent any accidental trigger pull as
you complete setting up.
• Turn the Fan Pattern Control Knob (#16-6) counter-clockwise, this will
set the Spray Gun to the widest fan pattern.
• Connect air supply to the Spray Gun and rotate the Fluid Control
Knob (#15) counter-clockwise two full turns. This will allow for some
material to low out of the Nozzle to atomize.
• Point Spray Gun away from you, pull the trigger and gauge the Spray
Gun’s settings. You may need to adjust material low, air pressure, or
fan pattern settings at this time to achieve desired settings.
Fluid Control - If the material low is too heavy, turn the Fluid Control
Knob clockwise, this will reduce material volume low. To increase material
volume low for a wet inish, turn the Fluid Control Knob counter-clockwise.
Pressure Regulator - Air pressure adjustment will signiicantly afect how
the material is atomized. If looking too coarse when wet, increase air supply
pressure at the pressure regulator located at base of the Spray Gun’s
handle. If looking too ine, decrease pressure. For pressure speciications of
the Spray Gun, see page 2.
OPERATION

7
Pattern Control - To produce a smaller fan pattern, turn the Fan Pattern
Control Knob (#16-6) clockwise. For widest pattern, turn Fan Pattern
Control Knob counter-clockwise.
NOTE: In most cases, a combination of all three adjustments will provide
the desired results.
The Spray Gun should be held perpendicular to the surace at all times.
Hold the gun no more than 8” (20cm) away from the surace to be sprayed.
CORRECT METHOD
Begin spraying by pulling the Trigger and move the Spray Gun in the
direction you want to spray. Star your pass from of the edge of the piece;
then continue of the edge of the piece on the other end before releasing
the Trigger. Between each successive pass, overlap by 50%.
INCORRECT METHOD
CAUTION: Never for any reason point the Spray Gun directly at the
face or head of a person.

GENERAL CLEANING
It is very imporant to properly clean your Spray Gun aer each use. This
will prevent any build-up and/or contamination when spraying other
materials. Keeping your Spray Gun clean will also prevent spray problems
due to blockage.
PLEASE DO NOT USE A WIRE BRUSH OR ANYTHING METAL TO CLEAN THE
GUN OR CUP AS THIS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE. We recommend using the Fuji
Spray Gun Cleaning Kit (par # 3100).
WARNING
DO NOT remove the Fluid Coupler (#25), the threads in your Spray
Gun have been sealed at the factory to prevent leakage.
CAUTION
Never soak the complete Spray Gun in solvent as this is detrimental to
the seals and removes the lubricants from pars.
CLEANING FLUID PASSAGES (Level 1)
1. Remove lid of the cup and pour le over material into a container
2. Wipe the inside of the cup with a solvent-soaked cloth
3. Add some appropriate solvent into the Cup, reattach Lid to the cup
and spray
4. Pull the trigger repeatedly to properly lush the luid passages,
Needle and Nozzle
5. This process lushes solvent through the Spray Gun while it is still
connected to the air supply hose and the paint is still wet inside the
Gun.
If this type of quick cleaning is perormed frequently, the Spray Gun will
function well for many years. More than 50% of problems with a Spray Gun
stem from clogs in the luid passages and perhaps more imporant, the air
passages.
CLEANING
