4. Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Connect Air Compressor: Attach a suitable air hose (not included) from your air compressor to the air inlet connector on the spray gun. Ensure the compressor can provide a minimum flow rate of 85 liters per minute.
- Prepare Material: Prepare your paint, topcoat, or sealant according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure it is properly thinned for spraying consistency.
- Fill Paint Pot: Unscrew the paint pot from the spray gun body. Fill the pot with your prepared material, ensuring not to overfill. Reattach the paint pot securely to the spray gun.
- Initial Adjustments: Before spraying, make initial adjustments to the fluid and fan pattern dials. Start with a moderate setting.
5. Operating Instructions
- Power On Compressor: Turn on your air compressor and allow it to build up sufficient pressure.
- Test Spray Pattern: Before spraying your actual workpiece, test the spray pattern on a piece of scrap material. Adjust the fluid adjustment dial to control the amount of material sprayed and the fan adjustment dials to change the spray pattern (e.g., from a round to a flat pattern).
- Spraying Technique: Hold the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, maintaining a consistent distance (typically 6-10 inches). Use smooth, even strokes, overlapping each pass by about 50%. Release the trigger at the end of each stroke.
- Refilling: If the paint pot runs low, turn off the air supply, unscrew the pot, refill, and reattach before resuming.
6. Maintenance
Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and performance of your spray gun.
- Immediate Cleaning: Clean the spray gun immediately after each use. Do not allow material to dry inside the gun.
- Disassembly: Disassemble the paint pot, nozzle, and air cap.
- Cleaning Components: Clean all components thoroughly with an appropriate cleaning solution (e.g., paint thinner for oil-based paints, water for water-based paints). Use a cleaning brush to remove any residue from the nozzle and internal passages.
- Reassembly: Reassemble the spray gun once all parts are clean and dry.
- Storage: Store the spray gun in a clean, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
