variety of materials such as lacquers,
stains, primers, multi-component paints,
clear coats, acrylics, epoxies etc. It is ideal
for auto body and woodworking projects.
The spray guns are not designed to be
used with waterborne materials.
To use your spray gun:
1. Read and follow the material manufac-
turer's instructions for spraying, mixing,
safety, disposal, and any other instruc-
tion on the label or Material Safety Data
Sheet (MSDS).
2. Ensure the cup is securely tightened
and all other fittings are secure to avoid
air leaks or material spills.
3. Set the inlet air pressure (the air com-
ing to the spray gun) to the lowest
pressure recommended in Tool Data
Sheet on Page 8 or to the material
manufacturer's recommendations.
4. Adjust the atomizing cap to vertical or
horizontal. See Atomizing Cap and
Fan Adjustments on Page 13 for fur-
ther explanation.
5. Fill the cup with material.
6. Trial and error are necessary to achieve
the results you want along with a fair
amount of practice. Test your material
flow and spray pattern on a piece of
cardboard or some scrap of material
similar to your project.
