7. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles. Always wear an ANSI approved dust mask or respirator when using this Spray Gun. 8. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or across running machines or air hoses. 9. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
19. Compressed air only. Never use combustible gas as a power source. Never exceed the recommended operating pressure of the any of the parts (i.e. hoses, fittings, gun) of the Sprayer system. 20. Do not spray near open flames, pilot lights, stoves, heaters, the air compressor, or any other heat source. Most solvents and coatings are highly flammable, particularly when sprayed. Maintain a distance of at least 25 feet from the air compressor. If possible, locate the air compressor in a separate room.
Air Connection For best service you should incorporate a regulator and inline filter, as shown in the diagram above. Hoses, couplers, regulators, and filters are all available at Harbor Freight Tools. Note: Compressor pumps discharge condensed water, oil, or other contaminants along with the compressed air. Condensation causes “fish eyes” to appear in paint patterns. To avoid this problem, install water/oil removal filters and controls (not included) as close to the Spray Gun as possible.
IMPORTANT: The Spray Gun must be cleaned immediately after use. Improper cleaning is a common reason for the Spray Gun not to work. A Comparison: Conventional versus HVLP Spray Guns Because conventional spray guns require a much higher air cap pressure to atomize the paint than HVLP Spray Guns, conventional guns have lower transfer efficiencies and more overspray. This translates to a significant paint/material savings for HVLP guns, in addition to making them more environmentally friendly.
IMPORTANT: The Spray Gun must be cleaned immediately after use. Improper cleaning is a common reason for the Spray Gun not to work. Fan Direction and Pattern Adjustment Note: Always make sure the Vent (45) is clear and unclogged. Fan Direction To change the direction of the fan from horizontal to vertical, loosen the Lock Ring and turn the Air Cap (5) 90 degrees. After the adjustment, tighten the Lock Ring by hand. See FIGURE 3 below.
IMPORTANT: The Spray Gun must be cleaned immediately after use. Improper cleaning is a common reason for the Spray Gun not to work. Fan Direction and Pattern Adjustment (continued) 3. Turn the Fluid Control Knob (23) clockwise until it is fully closed. See FIGURE 1 on page 6. 4. After setting up a piece of scrap material, squeeze the Trigger (36) in short bursts while turning the Fluid Control Knob (23) counterclockwise and observe the spray patterns until you see the pattern you want.
IMPORTANT: The Spray Gun must be cleaned immediately after use. Improper cleaning is a common reason for the Spray Gun not to work. Techniques Note: Before spraying, mask all objects you do not want sprayed and lay cloths (not included) on the floors. 1. Always keep the gun at right angles to the workpiece (See FIGURE 6). Pull the Trigger (36) slowly and move the Spray Gun in parallel strokes to the object being painted. Keep the distance from the object being painted at 6” to 9”.
IMPORTANT: The Spray Gun must be cleaned IMMEDIATELY after use. Improper cleaning is a common reason for the Spray Gun not to work properly. Materials dry quickly which will render the gun useless. It is extremely difficult to remove dry paint from small passages within the Gun. Maintenance SOLVENT SELECTION Always follow the paint manufacturer’s recommendations for cleaning, solvent type, and disposing of used solvent. This unit employs some plastic components.
