2.Screw the cup onto the top of the body.

3.Attach the air hose to the spray gun with a 1???4" NPS quick connect set-up (not included).

Note: You have the option of attach- ing the regulator/guage directly to the gun as shown in the photos. Some may find this awkward and would rath- er mount the regulator/gauge closer to the air source.

4.Attach the spray gun to an air hose regulated between 29 and 50 PSI.

Note: For the best results, use a hose that will be dedicated for spray use only. Do not use a hose that has been used with an in-line oiler or other pos- sible contaminant.

If you need additional help with this assem- bly, call our Technical Support at: (570) 546-9663.

Figure 3. Controls.

1.Fluid Control: Controls the volume of material that travels through the fluid tip.

2.Pattern Control: Adjusts the spray pattern from a round pattern to a wide fan.

3.Air Flow Control: Controls the fluid pressure inside the spray gun.

4.Atomizing Cap:?? Controls the spray pattern from vertical to horizontal.

5.Trigger:?? Two stage trigger. Stage one only releases compressed air for blowing off the work piece. Stage two sprays material.

6.Cup: 600 ml plastic cup allows easy viewing of material level. Includes a vented cap.

7.Regulator/Gauge: Regulates inlet air pressure to the spray gun. It can be attached directly to the gun for on- the-spot air adjustments or directly from the air source.

Note: DO NOT attach to an unregulat- ed air source that exceeds 120 PSI.

EXPLOSION HAZARD! DO NOT smoke or have any source of flame or spark near spraying. Vapors will explode if ignited.

RESPIRATORY HAZARD! Always use respirator rated for organic vapor and solvent use when using spray equipment. Failure to protect your lungs can lead to respiratory illness and nervous system damage.

TOXIC FUMES! Always use an approved spray booth or well ven- tilated area when spraying. NEVER spray in an confined space where toxic fumes and flammable vapors can accumulate to deadly levels.

Spraying

The Model H7669 HVLP spray gun is designed to spray medium to high solid materials like lacquers, stains, primers, multi-component paints, clear coats, acryl- ics, epoxies etc. It is ideal for auto body and, woodworking projects and can be used with waterborne materials.

To use your spray gun:

1.Read and follow the material manufac- turer's instructions for spraying, mixing, safety, disposal, and any other instruc- tion on the label or Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

2.Ensure the cup is securely tightened and all other fittings are secure to avoid air leaks or material spills.

3.Set the inlet air pressure (the air com- ing to the spray gun) to the lowest pressure recommended in Tool Data on Page 7 or to the material manufac- turer's recommendations.

4.Adjust the atomizing cap to vertical or horizontal. See Atomizing Cap and Fan Adjustments on Page 12 for fur- ther explanation.

5.Fill the cup with material.

6. Trial and error are necessary to achieve the results you want along with a fair amount of practice. Test your material flow and spray pattern on a piece of cardboard or some scrap of material similar to your project.

7.Adjust the fluid control knob to start with a low volume of material and keep the atomization as low as possible. You will need to use a combination of fluid control, inlet air pressure, air flow control and stroke speed to achieve the results you want. Spray so the material wets out nicely without running or sag- ging.

8.Use the pattern control knob to adjust the spray fan to your desired pattern.

9.Keep the gun tip perpendicular, parallel?? and 6-8" from the work at all times when spraying as shown in Figure 4. Do not allow your wrist to bend. This will cause the gun to arc across the surface and distribute the material unevenly, pos- sibly creating sags and dry spots.

Figure 4. Spray technique.

NOTICE

Tipping spray gun may cause material to spill out of the cup. Always hold the spray gun perpendicular to the ground to avoid potential spills and gravity feed problems.

10.Begin spraying 2-3 inches before the work and continue to the end of the work. Continue the motion for a few inches past the work until you are ready for the return stroke.

11.Maintain an even speed when spray- ing.

12.Overlap each stroke by 50%. This will ensure even coverage as shown in Figure 5. Less than 50%, as shown in the figure to the right, may lead to missed spots or streaky results.

Figure 5. Overlap technique.

13.Spray stroke should have even consis- tency and parallel edges. If it doesn't please refer to Troubleshooting on

Page 15.

Atomizing Cap and

Fan Adjustments

The atomizing cap needs to be adjusted for horizontal or vertical spraying patterns. Spraying in the wrong direction may lead to material build up on the atomizing cap horn. Many performance problems are caused by clogged atomizing holes on the atomizing cap horns (see Cleaning on

Page 13).

Cleaning

Proper cleaning is the best way to ensure trouble free performance from your spray gun. If your gun is not thoroughly cleaned, damage and poor spraying will result. Problems caused by improper cleaning will not be covered by the warranty. Clean the spray gun immediately after each use.

To clean your spray gun:

1.Spray a small amount of solvent through the spray gun.

Note: Check with local laws regarding this practice. If you are spraying on a regular basis, spraying solvents into the air may be illegal. A cabinet style spray gun cleaner may be required.

2.Disconnect the gun from the com- pressed air!

3.Unscrew the cup.

4.Disassemble the gun by unscrewing the fluid control knob, removing the spring and needle.

Figure 9. Disassembly for cleaning.

5.Unscrew the atomizing cap with your fingers and the fluid tip with the service wrench. The fully disassembled gun should look like Figure 9.

6.Rinse these parts thoroughly in sol- vent then dry with compressed air or let air dry.

Note: If the small holes in the atomiz- ing cap become blocked, soak in clean solvent. If the blockage still exists, clear the blockage with a small needle, taking great care to not enlarge or damage the hole. Damage to the hole will create a disrupted spray pattern.

7.Use the cleaning brush with solvent to clean the inner orifice and other hard to reach areas on the outside of the spray gun body.

8.Wipe the rest of the gun body with a shop towel and dry.

EXPLOSION HAZARD! Chlorinated Solvents like Tricloroethane and Methylene Chloride (methyl chlo- ride) can chemically react with alu- minum and may explode. Many parts in spray guns are made of aluminum. Read solvent label carefully before using solvent.

NOTICE

DO NOT soak the spray gun body in solvent. Prolonged exposure to sol- vent will rapidly deteriorate the spray gun washers and seals. Ignoring this notice will void your warranty.
