Step 2:
Air and Fluid Volume Controls - These
two controls are used in conjunction with
each other to accurately adjust air/uid
(Paint) ratio and will vary for different paints.
Changing one control uid volume affects
the other so alternating back and forth
between them to ne tune your adjustment
will yield optimum results.
Air Volume Control - Air volume is adjusted
by turning the air uid volume control knob.
Turning knob in reduces volume, turning knob
out control knob increases volume.
Inlet pressure is adjusted by turning the
pressure regulator Control Knob. Knob
must rst be pulled out to unlock. Turning
knob clockwise increases pressure, turning
knob counter-clockwise decreases pressure.

1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite
injuries.
2. Observe work area conditions. Do not use
machines or power tools in damp or wet
locations. Don’t expose to rain. Keep work
area well lighted. Do not use electrically
powered tools in the presence of ammable
gases or liquids.
Always keep work area free from
obstructions and well ventilated.
3. Keep children away. Children must never be
allowed in the work area. Do not let them
handle machines, tools, hoses or extension
cords.
4. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools
must be stored in a dry location to inhibit
rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of
reach of children and other untrained persons.
Switch off all unused electrical tools when
stored. Tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
5. WARNING: All persons in the work area
must always wear approved eye and ear
protection and approved breathing
apparatus when this spray gun is in
operation.
6. Work Safe. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry that could become caught by moving
parts, causing injury. Operate tool a safe
distance from yourself and others in the
work area. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Do not reach over or across
running machines, hoses, etc.
7.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common
sense. Be sure all personnel are clear of the
direction of the spray gun. Do not operate any
tool when you are tired.
8. Do not operate any tool if under the inuence
of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on
prescriptions to determine if your judgment
or reexes are impaired while taking drugs.
If there is any doubt, do not operate any tool.
9. Never aim spray gun at anyone. Do not spray

near sparks, open flame, lit cigarettes, pilot
lights, space heaters or any other potential
ignition source.
DO NOT SMOKE IN WORK AREA.
10. Follow air source manufacturers direc
tions for connection of regulators, lters,
and other accessories to air source. Do not
install quick couplers directly on tool as
they put unnecessary strain on the air inlet
threads possibly causing them to wear out
prematurely. Instead, install them on a short
length of air hose attached to the tool.
11. Follow manufacturers instructions and
safety information to ensure safe handling
and proper use of paints, lacquers, thinners,
base coats, etc. Do not use latex or other
heavy paints. They are not recommended
for this spray gun.
12. Always disconnect spray gun from air
source before disassembly.
13.WARNING: Solvents 1,1,1-Trichloroethane
and Methylene Chloride (Dichlorometh-
ane - sometimes called Methylchloride)
can chemically react with the Aluminum
used in most spray equipment creating an
explosion hazard. Read the label or data
sheet from the material you intend to spray.
NEVER use any material containing these
solvents. If unsure as to the composition of
your material, check with your supplier. Do
not use acids for cleaning.
14. Check for damaged parts. Before using
any tool, any part that appears damaged
should be carefully checked to determine
that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment
and binding of moving parts; any broken
parts or mounting xtures; and any other
condition that may affect proper opera-
tion. Any part that is damaged should be
properly repaired or replaced by a qualied
technician.
15. Maintenance. For your safety, maintenance
should be performed regularly by a qualied
Step 1: Inlet Air Pressure Regulation
Assemble components of spray gun and
connect to clean air source as described
above. Clean air source is imperative to
ensure peak performance. The use of an
in-line air lter is highly recommended to
keep any contaminants from entering the
spray gun. Set inlet air pressure to between
40 and 45 P.S.I. to begin adjustments.
(This is a good operating inlet pressure suitable
for most applications, however, depending on
materials being sprayed and other external
factors such as temperature, humidity, etc.,
You may need to come back to this step and increase
or decrease pressure as needed after attempting
adjustments in step 2.)
Warning! Clean gun before and after
each use.
To protect the precision machined internal
parts and ttings in this gun from corrosion
during shipping, some oils or other corrosion
resistant agents may have been applied.
It is important to remove any such residue
before attempting to use the gun. To clean,
place a small amount of appropriate thinner
into paint cup and spray through gun while
pulling and releasing trigger repeatedly.
Wipe exterior of gun, nozzles and paint cup.
In some cases, if the gun becomes clogged,
disassemble completely and soak all parts
in thinner.
After soaking, use wire and cleaning brush to
clear small internal passages.
Check and clean paint cup lter. Replace if
worn. A clean air source is imperative to ensure
peak performance. The use of an in-line air
lter is highly recommended to keep any
contaminants from entering the spray gun.
Inspect all ttings and hardware to ensure
proper seating. Be sure air line ttings are
tight with no leaks. Replace any worn parts
as necessary. Check needle and nozzles for
nicks, scratches or burrs. Any such conditions
will seriously impair performance. Replace as
necessary.
