manual abstract
To maintain your X1000 at its peak performance, proper care and attention must be observed. SAFETY WARNINGS Fire or Explosion Hazard 1. Fluid and solvents can be highly flammable or combustible. Use in well-ventilated spray booths and avoid any ignition sources such as smoking, open flames, electrical hazards, etc. 2. NEVER use halogenated hydrocarbon solvents. They can chemically react with aluminum and zinc parts causing an explosion. Be sure that all fluids and solvents used are chemically compatible with aluminum and zinc parts. 3. To reduce the risk of static sparking, grounding continuity to the spray equipment and object being sprayed must be maintained. Misuse Hazard 1. NEVER point spray gun in the direction of human body. 2. NEVER exceed the maximum safe working pressure of the equipment. 3. ALWAYS release air and fluid pressures before cleaning, disassembling, or servicing. A ball valve installed near the spray gun is recommended to stop air supply in case of an emergency and to prevent unintended operation. Hazard created while coating materials are atomized and sprayed 1. Toxic vapors produced by spraying certain materials can create intoxication & serious damage to health. Always use the gun in well ventilated areas & wear protective eyewear, gloves, respirator, etc to prevent toxic vapors, solvents & paint from coming into contact with your eyes & skin. 2. Depending on the noise level due to operation, wear ear plugs if necessary. Other Hazards 1. NEVER modify this product for any applications. 2. NEVER spray foods or chemicals through the spray gun. 3. If something goes wrong, immediately stop operation and find the cause. Do not use spray gun until all problems have been found and solved. GENERAL OPERATION Important 1. This gun should only be operated by adequately trained operators. 2. Ensure that the spray gun has not been damaged. 3. Only clean and dry air should be supplied to the spray gun. 4. When using the spray gun for the first time, adjust the fluid needle packing set for smooth movement. Compressors and Air Pressures Choosing an appropriate air compressor that can supply sufficient pressure for your X1000 spray gun insures optimal operation and performance. Working pressures vary from 30 to 50 psi, depending on the type of work being done and what textures are desired. In general, higher pressures are needed to take full advantage of the versatile spray characteristics of the spray gun. Viscosity of the paint also effects which pressures are ideal. In general, larger volumes and/or thicker paints require higher pressures. Assembling Spray Gun for Use Attach an air hose to the compressor and spray gun. Adjust the air pressure according to type of paint used and desired spray characteristics. Check for any air leaks from the compressor and/or air hose. Fill the container with some cleaning solvent and securely attach the container to the spray gun. Pointing the spray gun away from you, pull back on the trigger to open the nozzle of the airbrush allowing cleaner to spray out. Caution: The fluid nozzle and needle are very delicate parts. Even the slightest physical damage can adversely affect the spray pattern. Paint Preparation Proper preparation and filtering of paint through a nylon mesh is recommended for best performance. Paint should always be thinned with its proper solvent. It is best to prepare the paint relatively thin and make repeated passes across the work to achieve the desired shade. This will also improve the quality of your work and decrease the cleaning time of your spray gun. Pattern Width Adjustments Pattern widths produced by the spray gun are controlled by adjusting the distance the gun is held from the work surface and adjusting the Fluid Adjustment Knob on the rear of the spray gun. Turning the knob clockwise helps produce finer patterns, while turning the knob counter clockwise helps produce wider patterns. The gun should be held so that it is perpendicular to the surface of the work piece at all times. Then, the gun should move in a straight and horizontal line. Arcing the gun causes uneven painting. MAINTENANCE Your X1000 spray gun is a durable precision instrument and as with any precision instrument it is susceptible to damage if handled improperly. It is essential to take care to prevent damaging the components of this highly sensitive tool in order to assure its peak performance during its lifetime. Proper maintenance of the X1000 spray gun demands appropriate cleaning and requires correctly replacing and adjusting the parts. Daily and thorough maintenance of your spray gun will result in spraying that is smooth, consistent and hassle-free. Warning 1. Turn off the air and fluids to the gun and release pressure by triggering the gun before disassembling, cleaning or servicing. 2. Pay attention when disassembling spray gun since you may be touching sharp internal parts. 3. Do not disassemble the spray gun without receiving enough knowledge and education ab...
