USE OF AIR CAPS
Internal Mix—Generally
used with slow drying,
heavy bodied materials
and for faster material
application. NOT to be
used with fast drying paints and
lacquers which will clog the opening in
the air cap. INTERNAL MIX CAPS
MUST BE USED WITH PRESSURE
FEED OPERATION.
External Mix—Used for
quick drying, light bodied
materials such as lacquers
and synthetic enamels.
Better for finer finish work.
THESE CAPS CAN BE USED WITH
EITHER SIPHON OR PRESSURE FEED.
FAN DIRECTION
The direction of the fan (horizontal or
vertical) can be changed by loosening
the lock ring and turning the air cap 90
degrees (See Figure 1). Hand tighten
lock ring after adjustment.
FLUID FEED

This model is capable of pressure or
siphon feed. The gun is shipped in
siphon feed mode but should be
checked before use to ensure the

Do not use pressure that exceeds the
operating pressure of any of the parts
(hoses, fittings, etc.) in the painting
system.
Keep hose away
from sharp
objects. Bursting air hoses may cause
injury. Examine air hoses regularly and
replace if damaged.
7. Always use a pressure regulator on
the air supply to the spray gun.
Failure to install
appropriate water/oil
removal equipment may
result in damage to
machinery or workpiece.
Do not misuse this
product. Excessive
exposure to vibration, work in
awkward positions, and repetitive
work motions can cause injury to
hands and arms. Stop using any tool if
discomfort, numbness, tingling, or pain
occur, and consult a physician.
