5. Setup

5.1 Assembly

1. Ensure all components are clean and free of debris.
2. Attach the siphon feed cup to the bottom of the spray gun body, ensuring it is securely tightened.
3. Verify the nozzle and needle are correctly installed and tightened.

5.2 Connecting to Air Supply

1. Connect an air hose (not included) to the 1/4" NPT air inlet on the spray gun.
2. Ensure the air compressor is set to the recommended operating pressure of 40-50 PSI. The maximum pressure is 50 PSI.
3. Check all connections for leaks before proceeding.

5.3 Preparing Paint Material

1. Thoroughly mix your paint material according to the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Strain the paint to remove any particles that could clog the nozzle.
3. Pour the prepared paint into the 200 ML siphon feed cup. Do not overfill.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Adjusting Controls

• Fluid Control: Turn the fluid control knob (see Figure 1) to adjust the amount of paint released. Turn clockwise for less fluid, counter-clockwise for more.
• Pattern Control: Turn the pattern control knob (see Figure 1) to adjust the width of the spray pattern. Turn clockwise for a narrower pattern, counter-clockwise for a wider pattern.
• Fan Direction: Rotate the fan direction change nozzle (see Figure 1) to switch between a horizontal or vertical spray pattern, depending on your application.

6.2 Testing the Spray Pattern

Before painting your actual project, always test the spray pattern on a piece of scrap material. Adjust the fluid and pattern controls until you achieve a consistent and even spray.

6.3 Spraying Technique

• Hold the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, maintaining a consistent distance (typically 6-8 inches).
• Move the gun at a steady speed, overlapping each pass by about 50% to ensure even coverage.
• Release the trigger at the end of each pass to avoid paint buildup.
• Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat to prevent runs and drips.

7. Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance are crucial for the longevity and performance of your spray gun. Clean the gun immediately after each use.

7.1 Cleaning Procedure

1. Disconnect the air supply from the spray gun.
2. Empty any remaining paint from the cup.
3. Pour a small amount of appropriate cleaning solvent (e.g., paint thinner for oil-based paints, water for water-based paints) into the cup.
4. Reconnect the air supply and spray the solvent through the gun until it runs clear. Dispose of waste solvent properly.
5. Disassemble the gun (refer to Figure 2 for components). Remove the cup, nozzle, and needle.
6. Use the provided cleaning brush set and solvent to thoroughly clean all parts, paying special attention to the nozzle, needle, and fluid passages.
7. Rinse all parts with clean solvent or water.
8. Dry all components completely before reassembly.
9. Lightly lubricate moving parts (e.g., needle packing) with a compatible lubricant if necessary.

7.2 Storage

Store the clean, dry spray gun in a safe, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
