HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Ensure your work area is well-ventilated and clean. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including a respirator, safety glasses, and gloves. Prepare the surface to be painted by cleaning, sanding, and masking as necessary.
2. Mix Paint: Thoroughly mix your paint or coating material according to the manufacturer's instructions. Strain the paint through a fine mesh filter into the gravity cup to prevent clogs.
3. Attach Cup: Securely attach the filled gravity cup to the top of the spray gun.
4. Connect Air Hose: Connect your air hose to the gun's air inlet. Ensure your air compressor is set to the recommended operating pressure of 13 psi.
5. Adjust Settings:
   • Fluid Knob: Turn the fluid adjustment knob to control the amount of paint flow.
   • Fan Control Knob: Adjust the fan control knob to change the spray pattern from round to fan, and to control the size of the pattern.
   • Air Inlet Knob: Use the air inlet knob, if present, to fine-tune the air pressure directly at the gun.
6. Test Spray: Before painting your actual workpiece, perform a test spray on a piece of scrap material to ensure proper atomization, pattern, and coverage. Adjust settings as needed.
7. Apply Paint: Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface at a consistent distance (typically 6–8 inches). Apply paint using smooth, overlapping passes. Release the trigger at the end of each pass.
8. Clean Up: Immediately after use, disconnect the air hose. Empty any remaining paint from the cup. Clean the cup and gun thoroughly with appropriate cleaning solvents. Spray clean solvent through the gun until it runs clear. Disassemble and clean the fluid tip, air cap, and needle as needed.
