WARNING

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARD

Flammable fumes, such as solvent and paint fumes, in work area can ignite or explode.

To help prevent fire and explosion:

• Use equipment only in well ventilated area.

• Eliminate all ignition sources; such as pilot lights, cigarettes, portable electric lamps,

and plastic drop cloths (potential static arc).

• Keep work area free of debris, including solvent, rags and gasoline.

• Do not plug or unplug power cords or turn lights on or off when flammable fumes are

present.

• Ground all equipment in the work area. See Grounding instructions.

• If there is static sparking or you feel a shock, stop operation immediately. Do not

use equipment until you identify and correct the problem.

• Keep a working fire extinguisher in the work area.

Warnings

312388K 3

EQUIPMENT MISUSE HAZARD

Misuse can cause death or serious injury.

• Do not operate the unit when fatigued or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

• Do not exceed the maximum working pressure or temperature rating of the lowest

rated system component. See Technical Data in all equipment manuals.

• Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with equipment wetted parts. See

Technical Data in all equipment manuals. Read fluid and solvent manufacturer’s

warnings. For complete information about your material, request MSDS forms from

distributor or retailer.

• Check equipment daily. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately with

genuine manufacturer’s replacement parts only.

• Do not alter or modify equipment.

• Use equipment only for its intended purpose. Call your distributor for information.

• Route hoses and cables away from traffic areas, sharp edges, moving parts, and hot

surfaces.

• Do not kink or over bend hoses or use hoses to pull equipment.

• Keep children and animals away from work area.

• Comply with all applicable safety regulations.

PRESSURIZED EQUIPMENT HAZARD

Fluid from the gun/dispense valve, leaks, or ruptured components can splash in the

eyes or on skin and cause serious injury.

•FollowPressure Relief Procedure in this manual, when you stop spraying and

before cleaning, checking, or servicing equipment.

• Tighten all fluid connections before operating the equipment.

• Check hoses, tubes, and couplings daily. Replace worn or damaged parts

immediately.

TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD

Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes

or on skin, inhaled, or swallowed.

• Read MSDS’s to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.

• Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to

applicable guidelines.

• Always wear impervious gloves when spraying or cleaning equipment.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT

You must wear appropriate protective equipment when operating, servicing, or when in

the operating area of the equipment to help protect you from serious injury, including

eye injury, inhalation of toxic fumes, burns, and hearing loss. This equipment includes

but is not limited to:

• Protective eyewear

• Clothing and respirator as recommended by the fluid and solvent manufacturer

•Gloves

• Hearing protection

WARNING

Setup

4312388K

Setup

Connecting Air Line

1. Install an air pressure regulator on gun air

supply line to control air pressure.

2. Install a shutoff valve downstream of the air

regulator to shut off gun air.

3. Connect a clean, dry, filtered air supply to

air inlet fitting (13). Connect other end to

shutoff valve.

Connecting Fluid Supply

Pressure feed guns:

1. To control fluid

pressure to the gun,

install a fluid regulator

on the fluid line.

2. Connect the fluid hose

to the gun fluid inlet,

3/8-18 npsm (R3/8-19)

(21).

3. Connect other end to a

regulated fluid supply line.

Gravity feed guns:

1. Install fluid filter

(24) into fluid

inlet (A).

2. Screw on gravity

cup.

3. Remove gravity

cup cover and fill

cup with solvent

to flush if this is

first time using

equipment. (See

Flushing, page

6.)

4. After flushing, fill

cup with fluid and

attach cover.

Reference numbers and letters in paren-

theses in the text refer to numbers and

letters in the illustrations.

Operation

312388K 5

Operation

Pressure Relief Procedure

1. Turn off air and fluid supply.

2. Hold a metal part of the gun firmly to

a grounded metal pail. Trigger the gun

to relieve pressure.

Adjust Spray Pattern

1. Rotate air cap to change spray pattern

direction.

2. For maximum fluid flow and to prevent

premature fluid nozzle wear, turn fluid

adjustment knob (8-2) counterclockwise

until no trigger restriction is felt. Then turn

knob out 1/2 turn more.

3. If further fluid flow restriction is needed,

use different size needle/nozzle/air cap

combination.

If necessary, fluid adjustment knob (8-2)

can be turned clockwise to reduce volume

of fluid output. However, continuously

spraying with fluid adjustment knob closed

causes accelerated abrasive wear on fluid

needle and trigger/air valve shaft interface.

4. Pressure Feed only: Adjust fluid pressure

to achieve desired fluid flow rate.

5. Test spray pattern and atomization

while holding gun about 6 to 8 inches

(150 to 200 mm) from test piece.

a. If pattern is too wide, turn pattern

adjustment knob (5) clockwise to

narrow pattern.

b. To create a round pattern, turn pattern

adjustment knob (5) fully clockwise.

c. If pattern is too narrow, turn knob (5)

counterclockwise.

d. Check atomization. Increase gun

air supply pressure in 5 psi (34 kPa,

0.3 bar) increments until you have

the desired atomization.

Applying the Fluid

For the best results:

• Keep gun perpendicular to surface and

consistent distance of about 6 to 8 inches

(150 to 200 mm). Do not angle the gun as

you spray.

• Use smooth, even strokes, with about 50%

overlap.

• HVLP Guns: Use a slightly slower hand

movement and make fewer passes than

you would with a conventional air spray

gun. Take care to avoid runs or sags.

Do not exceed maximum working air pressure

shown on front cover. Read warnings.

If fluid adjustment knob (8-2) is turned in

all the way, the gun emits only air.

Maintenance

6312388K

Maintenance

Flushing

Flush before changing colors, before fluid can

dry in the equipment, at the end of the day,

before storing, and before repairing equip-

ment. Use a solvent that is compatible with gun

wetted parts and fluid that will be sprayed.

Gravity Feed Guns:

1. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure,

page 5.

2. Dispose of any paint in the cup.

3. Fill the cup with a small amount of solvent.

4. Spray into a grounded metal waste

container until clean solvent dispenses.

5. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure,

page 5.

Pressure Feed Guns:

1. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure,

page 5.

2. Disconnect fluid supply hose and air supply

hose from gun.

3. Connect solvent supply hose to gun.

4. Hold metal part of gun against a grounded

metal container, trigger, and flush the gun

with solvent until all traces of paint are

removed from the gun passages.

5. Turn off the solvent supply.

6. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure,

page 5.

7. Disconnect solvent supply hose from gun.

Daily Cleaning

1. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure,

page 5.

2. Clean fluid and air line filters.

3. Check for fluid leakage from gun and

fluid hoses. Tighten fittings or replace

equipment as needed.

4. Flush gun before changing colors and

when you are done spraying.

5. Remove cup and filter and clean them

(gravity feed models only).

6. Remove air cap (1) and nozzle (2) as

instructed on page 8 and soak them in

compatible solvent.

7. Use a rag moistened in solvent to wipe

down outside of gun.

8. Before reinstalling air cap and nozzle, clean

them and front of gun with a soft-bristle

brush dipped into compatible solvent.

Do not use a wire brush or metal tools.

To clean out air cap holes, use a soft

implement, such as a toothpick.

9. Lubricate gun.

CAUTION

• Do not submerge gun in solvent. Solvent

dissolves lubricant, dries out packings, and

may clog air passages. You can immerse

front end of gun in solvent just until cup

connection is covered.

• Do not use metal tools to clean air cap

holes as this may scratch them and distort

the spray pattern.

• Use a compatible solvent.

CAUTION

Trigger gun and use gun tool (27) whenever

you tighten or remove nozzle (2) to avoid

damaging needle seat and nozzle.

Troubleshooting

312388K 7
