WRONG
AIR ADJ. VALVE
Increase/decrease the air flow into
the spray gun. To fine-tune the
air pressure, please use a micrometer
at gun air inlet.
In normal operation, the wings on the nozzle are
positioned horizontally as illustrated here.
This produces a vertical fan shaped pattern. The pattern
is uniquely designed for overlap efficiency (only 1/5 at
top and bottom), and therefore saves substantial
amount of paint.
(Switching the wings vertically is NOT recommended.)
CAUTION
• All operations including maintenance should be carried out ONLY by knowledgeable operators.
• Never aim the Spray Gun towards humans or animals.
• Be aware of the conditions of your surroundings, and keep the spray equipment and the object
being sprayed firmly on the ground at all times.
• Do not exceed the maximum working pressure of the equipment.
• Fluid and solvents can be highly flammable and corrosive. Handle with extreme care and keep away
from fire and electrical hazards.
• Toxic vapors produced by spraying can cause serious damage to health. Always wear protective
equipment and use the Spray Gun in well ventilated areas with a suitable respirator.
• Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents may cause chemical explosions. Use paint materials
which are chemically compatible with aluminum, copper and zinc parts.
• Always release air and fluid pressure before cleaning/disassembling/servicing. A ball-valve installation
is recommended for emergency stop and prevention of unintentional operation accidents.
• Make sure all parts, screws and nuts are intact before putting the Spray Gun into operation.
