- Air Hose Installation SB-2-610 [ English ]
READ BEFORE ATTACHING THE AIR HOSE
HVLP AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
FULL SIZE GUN: 30 PSI inlet pressure provides 10 PSI at the air cap. Consumes 13 CFM.
TOUCHUP GUN: 30 PSI inlet pressure provides 10 PSI at the air cap. Consumes 8 CFM.
NOTE: USE 5/16 OR LARGER I.D. AIR HOSES
4. If desired, attach air adjust-
ing valve with gauge and/
or quick disconnect to air
inlet, then attach hose.
5. Spray test and adjust air
pressure, fan size, and
f luid f low as required.
R e c o m m e n d e d s p r a y
distance is 6-8 inches.
SET-UP AND ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS
1. Attach cup to gun and
flush solvent through gun to
remove oils.
2. Tighten packing nut—see
instructions.
3. Fully open fan and fluid
needle controls (turn
counter-clockwise).
Before using this spray gun,
the packing nut should be
adjusted as follows:
1. Tighten packing nut until
fluid needle starts to bind
in the packing.
2. Loosen packing nut just
enough so the fluid needle
moves freely.

FLUID NEEDLE CONTROL
The packing nut is intentionally left loose so the PTFE packing
does not take a set before the spray gun is used. This allows full
utilization of the packing.
A failure resulting in injury or damage may be caused by pressure be-
yond top of scale, excessive vibration or pressure pulsation, excessive
instrument temperature, corrosion of the pressure containing parts or
other misuse of the air adjusting valve with gauge.

Spray a test area. Turn the fluid needle
adjusting knob counterclockwise until a full
coat is obtained.
If the finish is too sandy and dry, the
material flow may be too low for the
atomization air pressure being used.
Turn the fluid needle adjusting knob
counterclockwise to increase fluid flow.
If the finish sags, there is too much material
flowing for the atomization air pressure being
used. Turn the fluid needle adjusting knob
clockwise to decrease fluid flow.
Pattern width can be altered by turn-
ing spreader adjustment valve, either
clockwise to decrease the width or counter-
clockwise to increase the width.
Adjust inlet air pressure to provide a uniform
dispersion of atomized paint throughout the
pattern. Keep air pressure as low as possible
to minimize bounce-back and overspray.
Excessive pressure will result in split spray
patterns. Inadequate pressures will cause
heavy centered patterns and poor atomization.
CLEANING
For routine cleaning, it is not necessary to
remove cup from gun. Remove lid and properly
dispose of any excess paint. Pour in a small
amount of clean solvent. The amount will vary
with different coatings and solvents. Reinstall
lid. Shake cup to wash down the inside sur-
faces. Pull trigger to allow some solvent to
be flushed through gun. Remove lid and pour
out dirty solvent. Add a small amount of clean
solvent and repeat procedure. Wipe exterior
of lid with a clean cloth and clean solvent.
If a paint filter was used in the bottom of the
cup outlet, it should be removed and cleaned
at this time.
To clean air cap and fluid tip, brush exterior
with a stiff bristle brush. If necessary to clean
cap holes, use a broom straw or toothpick if
possible. If a wire or hard instrument is used,
extreme care must be used to prevent scratch-
ing or burring of the holes which will cause a
distorted spray pattern.
To clean fluid passages, remove excess
material at source, then flush with a suitable
solvent. Wipe gun exterior with a solvent
dampened cloth. Never completely immerse in
solvent as this is detrimental to the lubricants
and packings.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Spray Gun Lubrication
Apply a drop of spray gun lube at trigger
bearing stud and the stem of the air valve.
The shank of the fluid needle where it enters
the packing nut should also be oiled. The
fluid needle packing should be kept soft and
pliable by periodic lubrication. Make sure the
baffle and retaining ring threads are clean
and free of foreign matter. Before assembling
retaining ring to baffle, clean the threads
thoroughly, then add two drops of spray gun
lube to threads. The fluid needle spring and
air valve spring should be coated with a very
light grease, making sure that any excess
grease will not clog the air passages. For best
results, lubricate the points indicated, daily.

The following hazards may occur during the normal use of this equipment.
Please read the following chart before using this equipment.
Fire
Solvent Spray
Inhaling Toxic Substances
Explosion Hazard -
Incompatible Materials
General Safety
Cumulative Trauma
Disorders (CTD's)
CTD's, or musculoskeletal
disorders, involve damage
to the hands, wrists,
elbows, shoulders, neck,
and back. Carpal tunnel
syndrome and tendonitis
(such as tennis elbow or
rotator cuff syndrome) are
examples of CTD's.
Solvent and coatings can be highly flammable
or combustible especially when sprayed.
During use and while cleaning and flushing,
solvents can be forcefully expelled from fluid
and air passages. Some solvents can cause
eye injury.
Certain materials may be harmful if inhaled, or
if there is contact with the skin.
Halogenated hydrocarbon solvents - for
example; methylene chloride and 1,1,1, -
Trichloroethane are not chemically compatible
with the aluminum that might be used in many
system components. The chemical reaction
caused by these solvents reacting with
aluminum can become violent and lead to an
equipment explosion.
Improper operation or maintenance of
equipment.
Use of hand tools may cause cumulative
trauma disorders (CTD's).
CTD's, when using hand tools, tend to affect the
upper extremities. Factors which may increase
the risk of developing a CTD include:
1. High frequency of the activity.
2. Excessive force, such as gripping, pinching,
or pressing with the hands and fingers.
3. Extreme or awkward finger, wrist, or arm
positions.
4. Excessive duration of the activity.
5. Tool vibration.
6. Repeated pressure on a body part.
7. Working in cold temperatures.
CTD's can also be caused by such activities
as sewing, golf, tennis, and bowling, to name
a few.
Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep air free of accumulations
of flammable vapors.
Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.
Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the spray area.
Wear eye protection.
Follow the requirements of the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) supplied by
your coating material manufacturer.
Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air free of
accumulations of toxic materials.
Use a mask or respirator whenever there is a chance of inhaling
sprayed materials. The mask must be compatible with the material be-
ing sprayed and its concentration. Equipment must be as prescribed by
an industrial hygienist or safety expert, and be NIOSH approved.
Guns with stainless steel internal passageways may be used with these
solvents. However, aluminum is widely used in other spray application
equipment - such as material pumps, regulators, valves, and this gun
and cup. Check all equipment items before use and make sure they
can also be used safely with these solvents. Read the label or data
sheet for the material you intend to spray. If in doubt as to whether or
not a coating or cleaning material is compatible, contact your material
supplier.
Operators should be given adequate training in the safe use and
maintenance of the equipment (in accordance with the requirements
of NFPA-33, Chapter 15). Users must comply with all local and
national codes of practice and insurance company requirements
governing ventilation, fire precautions, operation, maintenance, and
housekeeping. These are OSHA Sections 1910.94 and 1910.107 and
NFPA-33.
Pain, tingling, or numbness in the shoulder, forearm, wrist, hands, or
fingers, especially during the night, may be early symptoms of a CTD.
Do not ignore them. Should you experience any such symptoms, see
a physician immediately. Other early symptoms may include vague
discomfort in the hand, loss of manual dexterity, and nonspecific pain
in the arm. Ignoring early symptoms and continued repetitive use of the
arm, wrist, and hand can lead to serious disability. Risk is reduced by
avoiding or lessening factors 1-7.
