SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FIRE AND EXPLOSION

WARNINGS Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

CAUTION Hazards or unsafe practices which could result in minor personal injury, product or property damage.

NOTE Important installation, operation or maintenance information.

• Never use the following HALOGENATED HYDROCARBON SOLVENTS: methyl chloride, dichloronnethane, 1.2-dichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene, 1.1.1-trichloroethane which can cause cracks or dissolution of gun body (aluminium) due to chemical reaction.
• Sparks and open flames are strictly prohibited. Paints can be highly flammable and can cause fire. Do not expose to open flames, electrical goods, cigarettes etc.
• Securely ground spray gun using conductive air hose (Less than 11MΩ). Always ensure that the spray gun is earthed correctly.

TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD

Toxic fluids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or on skin, inhaled, or swallowed.

• Read Safety Data Sheets (SDSs) to know the specific hazards of the fluids you are using.
• Store hazardous fluid in approved containers, and dispose of it according to applicable guidelines.

PROTECTION OF HUMAN BODY

• Use in a well-ventilated site, using a spray booth. Poor ventilation can cause organic solvent poisoning and fire.
• Always wear protective gear (safety glasses, mask, gloves) to avoid inflammation of eyes and skin. In case of any physical discomfort, immediately seek medical advice.
• Wear earplugs if necessary. Noise level can exceed 85 dB(A), depending on operating conditions and painting site.
• Pulling the trigger many times during operation may cause carpal tunnel syndrome. Always rest, in case of tiredness.

IMPROPER USE

• Never point gun towards people or animals.
• Never exceed maximum working pressure or maximum operating temperature.
• Always release air and fluid pressure before cleaning, disassembling or servicing. Otherwise, remaining pressure can cause bodily injury due to improper operation or scattering of cleaning liquid.
• Tip of fluid needle set has a sharp point. Do not touch the tip during maintenance to avoid accidents.
• Never use this gun to spray foods or chemicals. Otherwise, foreign substance could cause corrosion of fluid passages which could adversely affect health.
• Never alter this spray gun to avoid insufficient performance and damage.
• If something goes wrong, immediately stop operation and find the cause. Do not use again until you have solved the problem.
• Do not enter working areas where robots, reciprocators, etc. are used, until they have been turned off. Otherwise, they could cause injury.

INTRODUCTION

InoKraft DRIZZLE D1 Low Volume Low Pressure gravity feed spray gun is designed for precise spraying. The spray gun body is marked with different scales and labels to facilitate quick operation. You could mark your best spraying experience with the test record cards included!

The D1 LVLP spray gun can atomize the topcoat perfectly, without any runs or drips, which saves paint and reduces environmental pollution. If you have any questions about the product or usage, please contact us at support@inokraft.com.

Applications: automotive painting and refinish painting, carpentry, decoration painting. Suitable for water-based paint spraying.

PRODUCT INFORMATION

TECHNICAL DATA

KNOW YOUR SPRAY GUN

A: Air Cap Set

B: Paint Cup

C: Pattern Adjustment Knob

D: Fluid Adjustment Knob

E: Gun Trigger

F: Air Adjustment Knob

G: Compressed Air Inlet Connector

NOZZLE SIZE RECOMMENDATION

Please refer to Paint Manufacturer's recommendations.

NOZZLE SET REPLACEMENT

1. Disassembly of nozzle set

1. Turn the Fluid Adjustment Knob (D) counter-clockwise to remove Fluid Needle and Needle Spring.
2. Remove the Air Cap Set (A).
3. Unscrew the Fluid Nozzle with Adjustment Wrench.

2. Reverse for assembly and remember to tighten the Fluid Nozzle to prevent fluid leak.

NOTE: Replace the whole set of Air Cap, Nozzle, Fluid Needle at the same time.

ASSEMBLY

1. Install the Filter.
2. Screw the Paint Cup (B) clockwise. NOTE: If you are using other paint cups, please choose a compatible adapter. The paint cup inlet thread size is M16X1.5. (An adapter for 3M PPS Series 2.0 is included.)
3. Optional: Connect the Air Pressure Regulator to the Inlet Connector (G) and then Oil-Water Separator.
4. Use a 1/4" air hose to connect with the Oil-Water Separator or connect directly to the Inlet Connector (G).

START UP

1. Turn the Air Pressure Regulator Knob clockwise to make sure the air inlet is closed.
2. Turn the Fluid Adjustment Knob (D) clockwise to the minimum to prevent the needle from moving.
3. Turn the Pattern Adjustment Knob (C) counter-clockwise to fully open the fan.
4. Turn the Air Adjustment Knob (F) counter-clockwise to fully open it.

TEST SPRAY

1. Test the static and dynamic spraying effect on the test paper.

2. Adjust knobs to get the right coating result and pattern.

• a. If the finish is too dry, turn the Air Adjustment Knob (F) clockwise to reduce the inlet air pressure.
• b. If the finish is too wet, turn the Fluid Adjustment Knob (D) clockwise to reduce the fluid flow.
• c. If the atomized particles are too coarse, turn the Air Adjustment Knob (F) counter-clockwise to increase the inlet air pressure.
• d. If the atomized particles are too fine, turn the Air Adjustment Knob (F) clockwise to reduce the inlet air pressure.
• e. If the spray pattern is too large, turn the Pattern Adjustment Knob (C) clockwise to reduce the size.

NOTE: Refer to the Trouble Shooting for more information.

3. Record relevant data on the test card for next use (optional).

SPRAY

1. Maintain a distance of 6-8 inch between the spray gun and the object surface. Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface during movement. Bending or tilting the spray gun will cause uneven spraying.

2. Slightly press the trigger to start stroke, then press hard, to get a smooth gun activation and save paint. (Practice makes perfect!)

3. To stop spraying, slightly release the trigger to end stroke, then release the trigger completely.

4. The speed of moving the spray gun is recommended to be about 12-15 inch per second.

5. When spraying large areas, it is recommended to use a reciprocating method. The overlap area of the spray width is about 50%.

6. After using the spray gun, be sure to turn off the air source. Then hold the trigger to release the air pressure.

CLEAN UP

1. Recycle the remaining paint into the paint container.
2. Pour in neutral cleaning solution (pH 6 to 8), shake lightly and spray it out. Repeat multiple times until the mist coming out is clean. NOTE: Do not immerse the spray gun completely in any solvent or cleaning solution, as this will damage the spray gun lubricant and shorten its lifespan.
3. Disconnect the air hose, disassemble the Paint Cup (B), Air Cap Set (A) and Fluid Adjustment Knob (D). Use cleaning kit and accessories to completely clean the gun.
   • a. Clean the air cap, nozzle and fluid needle by brushing the outer surface.
   • b. Clean the air cap hole with a toothpick. (if necessary) NOTE: If using metal wire or hard tools, be careful not to scratch the air cap hole to become fuzzy, resulting in deformation of the spray pattern.
   • c. Clean the Paint Cup and Gun Body by wiping the surface with a damp cloth.
4. After cleaning, reconnect to the air hose, turn up inlet air pressure and hold the Gun Trigger (E) to dry the inside of the spray gun.

ACCESSORIES INSTRUCTIONS

Air Pressure Regulator Set Up

Connect the air outlet end (upper side) to the gun and tighten the joint with a wrench.

Adjustment
