2. Screw the coupler plug into the tool's air inlet and tighten with a
wrench until snug.
3. Run the compressor at a low volume and check the connection for air
leaks. Do not use the tool until all air leaks are repaired or the faulty
component is replaced.
IMPORTANT! Vibration may cause failure if a quick coupler is connected
directly to the air tool. To overcome this, connect a leader hose to the
tool. A quick coupler may then be used to connect the leader hose to the
air line hose.

OPERATION

Proper handling of the spray gun will achieve the desired paint coating. The
recommended paint viscosity will vary according to the paint's properties
and the painting conditions like the temperature or humidity. Read the paint
instructions before spraying.
HOW TO ADJUST THE PAINT GUN
CAUTION! While under pressure, never remove the fluid control knob lock nut.
1. The amount of fluid applied to a surface is adjusted by tightening or
loosening the fluid adjustment knob (#18). Tighten the knob clockwise
to reduce fluid flow. Loosen the knob counterclockwise to allow more
fluid to flow into the airstream.
2. The pattern adjustment valve knob (#15) will change the pattern from a
circle to an oval. Turn the pattern adjustment valve set counterclockwise
until seated. The spray pattern will be a solid circle. As the knob is
loosened counterclockwise, the circle will change to an oval that
gradually narrows as the knob is loosened.
3. A pressure regulator gauge is required to control the air flow.

PREPARING TO PAINT

1. Screw the fluid adjustment knob and pressure regulator knob in fully in
prevent air and paint flow.
2. Attach the air hose to the air inlet or tool's pressure regulator.
