CAUTION IMPORTANT: This spraygun is suitable for use with both waterbased and solvent based coating materials. ● The gun is not designed for use with highly corrosive and/or abrasive materials. ● Immersion of parts in aggressive cleaning solutions can cause colour fading and/or component degredation.
NOTE Depending on hose length, larger I.D. hose may be required. Install an air gauge at the gun handle. When gun is triggered on, adjust regulated pressure as required. Do not use more pressure than is necesarry to atomise the material being applied. Excess pressure will create additional overspray and reduce transfer efficiency.
