Safety Precautions

Safety is paramount when operating pneumatic spray equipment. Always wear approved respiratory protection and safety goggles. If using isocyanate-based finishers, use a clean air breathing apparatus and cover all exposed skin. Ensure the work area is well-ventilated and free from ignition sources. Never point the spray gun at yourself or others, and always disconnect the air supply before performing maintenance or changing accessories.

Operation and Setup

For optimal results, maintain an air pressure of 43psi. Connect the gun to the air supply using a leader hose to prevent vibration-related damage to the couplings. When spraying, hold the gun perpendicular to the surface at a distance of 150mm to 250mm. Start the stroke before squeezing the trigger and release it before finishing the stroke to ensure an even, wet coat. Overlap each stroke to achieve a uniform finish. The fluid flow and atomizing air can be adjusted using the dedicated knobs on the gun body.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning after every use is critical for the longevity of the spray gun. Disconnect the air supply and immerse only the front end of the gun in solvent, ensuring the fluid connection is covered. Do not immerse the entire gun, as this can damage internal rubber seals. Use the provided brush to remove accumulated paint and flush the system with clean solvent. Regularly lubricate the gun with light machine oil and inspect all connections for wear. If changing the nozzle size, always replace the complete set and ensure the paint nozzle is installed before the needle.
