After the adjustment, tighten the Lock Ring by hand. See FIGURE 3 below. Pattern Adjustment Warning!! Never exceed the Maximum Inlet PSI of 70 PSI. 1. If you need to reduce the air pressure for specific areas, adjust the air compressor. 2. To set the pattern size specific to the job, use the Pattern Control Knob (16) (see FIGURE 1 on page 6). By turning it counterclockwise (all the way open), the pattern will flatten. Turn the Pattern Control Knob (16) clockwise for a round pattern. See FIGURE 4 below.

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. Also, look at the pattern for consistency. Too much air may cause the spray to come out too fine. Reduce the air pressure or allow more material to come out by opening the Fluid Control Knob (23). If the spray appears too thick (you see globs of paint), close down the Fluid Control Knob (23) slowly, checking the mixture after each adjustment. See FIGURE 5 below.

Page 9 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”. This may slightly differ depending on the flow adjustment and the material being sprayed. Do not stop the gun movement while spraying. If you stop the gun for even just a slight pause while spraying, the paint will build up and run down the workpiece. 2. To ensure you don’t allow paint to build up, start moving the Spray Gun before you Squeeze the Trigger (36). When you are finished spraying, release the Trigger (36) before you stop moving the Spray Gun. Doing so will eliminate distinct overlaps, producing a blended (feathered) affect. See FIGURE 7 below. t I Begin Stroke Squeeze Trigger (36) FIGURE 7 (Top View) I I Release Trigger (36) End Stroke Note: The speed of the stroke, the adjustment of the Fluid Control Knob (23), and the distance from the workpiece, will determine how much paint is being applied. To get the best results, try to apply two thin coats of paint versus one thick coat. 3. Clean out the gun thoroughly after EVERY use, according to the instructions found on the next page.

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. Make sure that all paints and solvents are plastic compatible. Latex Paints: Use warm, soapy water. IMPORTANT: Do not use mineral spirits on latex paints or the mixture will congeal making it very difficult to remove. Oil Based Paints: Use mineral spirits. IF A FLAMMABLE SOLVENT NEEDS TO BE USED, ADHERE TO THE FOLLOWING: 1. Follow all of the solvent manufacturer’s clean up instructions and safety precautions at all times. 2. Always flush the Spray Gun a full hose length from the air compressor. 3. If collecting flushed solvents into a metal container, transfer into a larger nonmetal container, and flush the metal container. 4. Work far away from any ignition sources in a vapor free area. After each use: 1. Empty the Paint Cup (02) and clean it with the solvent. 2. Fill the Paint Cup (02) with solvent and spray it through the Gun into a container, while shaking the gun. Once the Paint Cup (02) is empty, repeat the process until the solvent comes out clean. Disconnect from the air source. After disconnecting, be aware that air pressure may still remain in the Spray Gun. Point the Gun into the spent solvent container and squeeze the Trigger again to make sure no air remains. 3.
