eXplosion hazard! chlorinated
solvents like tricloroethane and
methylene chloride (methyl chloride)
can chemically react with aluminum
and may explode. many parts in
spray guns are made of aluminum.
read solvent label carefully before
using solvent.
notice
do not soak the spray gun body
in solvent. prolonged exposure to
solvent will rapidly deteriorate the
spray gun washers and seals. ignoring
this notice will void your warranty.
proper cleaning is the best way to ensure
trouble free performance from your spray
gun. if your gun is not thoroughly cleaned,
damage and poor spraying will result.
problems caused by improper cleaning will
not be covered by the warranty. Clean the
spray gun immediately after each use.
to clean your spray gun:
1. spray a small amount of solvent
through the spray gun.
note: Check with local laws regarding
this practice. Spraying solvents into
the air may be illegal in your area. A
cabinet style spray gun cleaner may be
required.

pressed air!
