Clean gun before and after each use. To protect the precision machined internal parts
and fittings 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 attempt-
ing 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 a thin cleaning brush to clear small internal
passages. Check and clean paint cup filter, when installed. Replace if worn.
A clean air source is imperative to ensure peak performance. The use of an in-line air filter
is highly recommended to keep any contaminants from entering the spray gun.
In some painting applications proper air drying and filtration equipment may be required.
Inspect all fittings and hardware to ensure proper seating. Be sure air line fittings 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.

OPERATION

Air and fluid volume controls: These two controls
are used in conjunction with each other to accurately
adjust air/fluid (Paint) ratio and will vary for different
paints. Changing one control affects the other so
alternating back and forth between them to fine tune
your adjustment will yield optimum results
Air volume control: Air volume is adjusted by turning
the air knob control. Turning knob in reduces volume,
turning knob out increases volume.
Fluid volume control: Fluid volume is adjusted by
turning the fluid volume control knob. Turning knob
in decreases volume, turning knob out increases vol-
ume. Once a satisfactory volume is set, you can lock
the adjustment by turning the lock nut in tight.
