Please read these instructions carefully before using the equipment GROUNDING This appliance must be grounded. If it should malfunction or break down, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and grounding plug.

GETTING STARTED Please register your Fuji Spray Product at www.fujispray.com/product-registration NOTE: Throughout this Manual we have used the generic word ‘Paint’ to describe all and any coatings. Please substitute the word ‘Paint’ for whatever finish or coating you are spraying. Your Fuji Spray M-Model Gun has been adjusted at the factory and is ready for spraying.
CHANGING SIZE & SHAPE OF THE PATTERN Loosen the Collar #1. Turn the Aircap #2 to the horizontal posi- tion. This setting produces a vertical spray pattern. Always make sure the Collar is snug tight. Setting the Aircap in a vertical position produces a horizontal spray pattern.
SPRAYING TECHNIQUE The spraygun should be held perpendicular to the surface at all times. HOLD THE GUN NO MORE THAN 8” (20cm) AWAY FROM THE SURFACE TO BE PAINTED. But closer is ok. CORRECT METHOD Start moving the spraygun in the direction you want to spray and press the trigger.
AIRCAP SET SELECTION 5 additional setups are available as accessories. Size No.3 is stan- dard with all Fuji M-Sprayguns. No. 2, 3 or No. 4 can be used for any type of fine-finishing application. The larger sizes such as No. 4 allow for more fluid output.
VISCOSITY GUIDE A Viscosity Cup is included with your Fuji M-System. To test the viscosity of the paint material, fill the Viscosity Cup to the brim and time how long it takes for the liquid to empty out through the hole.
A WORD ABOUT LATEX Although latex paint was never originally intended to be sprayed, a professional finish can be achieved by following a few simple rules. (Please do not confuse latex with the newer water-based coatings). For work such as cabinetry or trim, our equipment can be used successfully with latex paint.
GENERAL CLEANING To clean the gun after each use, empty all paint from the Cup. Use a solvent-soaked rag to clean the residue in the Cup. Then, spray some clean solvent through the Gun into a clean rag (to avoid filling the room with unnecessary spray) or a bucket.
FINISH PROBLEMS ORANGE PEEL - If the finish is rough and resembles orange peel then the material is too thick. (Or perhaps you have the Air Control Valve turned down - please check that it is fully open). The ‘paint’ will not atomize properly and the surface will be spotty.
SPRAYGUN PROBLEMS NO PAINT (OR VERY LITTLE PAINT) The air passing through the Pressure Tube 40 to pressurize the Cup is blocked. This means that either the Tube itself, the Check Valve, or one of the two Nipples are blocked. A pipe cleaner can be used for cleaning the hole in the Nipple.

LEAKAGE FROM THE NOZZLE This occurs when the Needle Packing Nut is too tight compressing the Needle Packing #12 tightly around the Needle. Half fill the cup with water. Attach the Gun to the Hose and turn on the Turbine blower. Pull the Trigger and release. Check the Nozzle for water spurting out.
CLEANING FLUID PASSAGES To clean, flush appropriate solvent (refer to material manufacturer's cleaning recommendations) through the Spraygun while the paint is still wet inside the gun. If this type of quick cleaning is performed frequently, the Spray Gun will function well for many years. 99% of problems with a Spray Gun stem from clogs in the fluid passages and (perhaps more important), the Pressure Tube air passages.
TURBINE CARE AND MAINTENANCE FILTER(S) It is important to clean or replace your filters regularly. Operating the Turbine unit with clogged or dirty filters will cause the Turbine to overheat and result in premature failure. The Fuji HVLP Turbines have either 1 or 2 Filters.
GUN HOLDER GUN HOLDER INSTALLATION The 2 holes on the top of the Holder require the Black Machine Screws and Washers. These Screws fit into Threaded Inserts in the Metal Case. Do not overtighten - snug is fine. The single Silver-Colored Screw must be installed to the single hole on the side of the Gun Holder.
