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 including those containing Halogenated Hydrogcarbons • Immersion of parts in aggressive cleaning solutions can cause colour fading and/or component degredation.
9. If the finish is too dry or thin, reduce the air flow by decreasing the air inlet regulator pressure or by screwing the valves in clockwise. Alternatively increase the fluid flow using the fluid supply pressure. 10. If the finish is too wet or heavy, increase the air flow by increasing the air inlet regulator pressure or by screwing the valves out anti-clockwise.
