▌Safety Warnings
WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
1. Fluid and/or solvent can be highly flammable or combustible.
- Use in well-ventilated spray booth.
- Avoid any ignition sources such as smoking, open flames or electrical hazard.
2. Never use the following halogenated hydrocarbon solvent. It can cause cracks or dissolution on gun body
(aluminum) by chemical reaction.
Methyl chloride, Dichloromethane, 1.2-dichloroethane, Carbon tetrachloride, Trichloroethylene,
-
1.1.1-trichloroethane
Be sure to use compatible fluids with the wetted parts of spray gun. Make sure to review Material Safety
Data Sheet (MSDS) from paint or fluid manufacturer.
3. To reduce the risk of static sparking, grounding continuity to spray gun and work piece being sprayed
must be maintained. Grounded air hose designed by ANEST IWATA is available.
Ground wire must be less than 1MΩ.
MISUSE HAZARD
1. Pressurized hazardous fluid can cause serious injury or death. Never spray toward a person or animals
and never pull the trigger of spray gun near the body.
2. Be sure to use spray gun at less than the maximum working pressure.
3. Always release air and fluid pressure when not the use and before cleaning, disassembly or service.
4. Be careful that fluid needle has a sharp point.
5. Never operate spray gun of disassemble without receiving proper education and training.
BODY PROTECTION
1. Toxic vapors produced by spraying certain materials can cause intoxication and serious damage to
health.
- Use in well-ventilated area
Always wear protective clothing, eyewear, gloves and respirator to prevent toxic vapor, solvent and
-
paint from coming into contact with your eyes and skin
Stop spraying and see a doctor immediately if you feel something wrong.
2. Wear hearing protection if necessary. Noise level can exceed more than 85dB(A) depending on use and
working conditions.
3. Continual pulling trigger for long hours can cause carpal tunnel syndrome. Take a break if you feel
something wrong.
OTHER HAZARD
1. Never modify spray gun for any other applications. It can cause insufficient performance and malfunction.
2. Be careful to work inside working range of other equipment such as robots, reciprocators, etc. To avoid accident stop the equipments
before working if necessary.
3. Never use spray gun to spray food products or chemical agents. It can cause accident by corrosion of fluid passage or health
disturbance by tampering.
4. If operation appears incorrect, immediately stop operation and find the cause. Never use until the problem has been solved.
5. Never soak whole spray gun into solvent for cleaning. It can cause spray gun malfunction.
6. Repair or replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Always use ANEST IWATA replacement parts.

▌How to operate
1. Adjust fluid output and pattern width.
2. Double-check inlet air pressure at 1.0 - 1.4bar (14 - 20psi) at spray gun. 100 - 200 mm
This spray gun is designed to perform better at the inlet pressure range. (4.0 -
8.0 inch)
Always pull the trigger fully to measure the inlet air pressure.
3. Spray paint 100 - 200mm (4.0 - 8.0inch) away from work piece to
achieve fine finish and high transfer efficiency. If it is too far or too close,
it can cause finishing problem or low transfer efficiency.
4. Always spray paint perpendicular to the surface of work piece. Arcing
spraying can cause uneven finish.
5. Recommended paint viscosity is 12 - 23sec/NK-2 (15 - 25sec/Ford#4)
depending on paint spec and working condition.
▌Maintenance
WARNING
1. Always release air and fluid pressure before cleaning, disassembly or service.
2. Be careful that fluid needle has a sharp point.
3. Pay attention to avoid hitting or dropping spray gun, especially air cap, fluid nozzle, fluid needle and fluid nipple.
4. Never use metal brush for cleaning.
5. Never soak whole spray gun into solvent for cleaning. It can cause spray gun malfunction.
6. Never disassemble spray gun without receiving proper education and training.
Cleaning and Disassembly
1. Remove remaining paint to a container. Put cleaning liquid to Incomplete cleaning can cause finishing problem and spray gun

Never damage holes of air cap set, fluid nozzle and fluid needle, it
can cause spray gun malfunction.
3. Before disassembly, clean fluid passage completely. Pay attention to avoid damage or scratch seat section.
1. Disassemble fluid needle. Pull fluid needle out straight to avoid damage or scratch.
Remove fluid adjusting knob and needle spring and pull fluid
needle out.
2. Disassemble fluid nozzle using ANEST IWATA gun wrench. Always remove fluid needle before disassembling fluid nozzle to
avoid damage the tip of fluid needle.
4. Disassemble fluid adjusting guide set using ANEST IWATA gun Always assemble air valve, air valve spring and fluid adjusting guide
wrench and remove air valve and air valve spring. And use set with fluid needle together to assemble them correct and avoid
