Spray Gun Setup Adjustment
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Do not adjust or tamper with any control or component in a way not specifically explained
within this manual. Improper adjustment can result in tool failure or other serious hazards.
CAUTION! Keep hands away from Trigger while making adjustments.
Note: This Spray Gun is meant for spraying
oil-based paints. It is not recommended for
regular wall paint or thin coatings of any type.
While these products can be used with
this Spray Gun, coverage will not be even.
Paint Preparation and Filling
Note: Proper paint mixture is essential.
Follow the manufacturer’s directions. Most paints
will spray easily if they are thinned properly.
1. Thin the paint according to manufacturer’s
directions and mix thoroughly.
2. Carefully strain the paint through
a paint strainer or a piece of cheesecloth.
3. Separate the Cup from the Spray Gun by
moving the Cup Locking Lever on top of
the Cup Cover out of the locked position
to release the Cup Mounting Yoke.
4. Fill the Cup to 3/4 full. Place the Cup back
in the Cup Mounting Yoke, rotate the Cup
to lock it onto the yoke, and move the Cup
Locking Lever to the locked position.
5. Start the air compressor and set
the regulator to needed pressure.
Do not exceed maximum air pressure.
6. Test the consistency by spraying
on a piece of scrap material.
If it still appears too thick, add a very
small amount of thinner (not included)
and mix thoroughly. Use the proper
thinner for the type of paint. Thin
CAUTIOUSLY. Proceed slowly,
adding minimal amounts at a time.
DO NOT exceed the manufacturer’s
thinning recommendations.
