OPERATION

1. Operating the spray gun

• This air operated spray gun is designed to perform a variety

of painting, coating, and finishing applications using the

power of compressor air.

• Do not exceed the maximum air pressure of 60 psi.

• The trigger lever of this gun has a two-step design. Press the

trigger lever to the first step to connect to the air source,

ensuring that air flow fills the spray gun.

Press the trigger lever to the second step to connect the paint

material.

2. Controlling the pattern and fluid flow

• Adjust the air pressure with the trigger pulled and the air

control knob fully open. If reduced air pressure is desired for

some areas of the spray job, use the air compressor regulator

or air control to reduce pressure as necessary.

• Increase the air flow by turning the air control knob

clockwise. Reduce the air flow by turning the air control

knob counterclockwise.

• Set the pattern size to the desired shape. For a full pattern,

turn the pattern control knob counterclockwise. For a round

pattern, turn the pattern control knob clockwise.

• Turn the fluid control knob fully clockwise until closed to

control the fluid.

a target. Adjust the spray gun for the best spray pattern and the

a cardboard target. If the material still appears too thick, add a

small amount of thinner. THIN WITH CARE!! Do not exceed
