ASSEMBLY Connect the Spray Unit to the Canister Unit as shown in Figure 1. BEFORE YOU USE YOUR TOUCH-UP GUN A coupler is required to connect the Touch-Up Gun to an air compressor. Select the coupler, e.g. ¼” “M” style NPT, etc. that mates with the end of the air hose you are using, and screw it onto the AIR CONNECTION (#23) located at the end of the Touch-Up Gun’s handle (see Figure 2).
OPERATION Setup Refer to Figure 3 for the location of parts called out in this section. Figure 3 -- Operation Diagram Step 1. Move the LEVER (#29) counterclockwise until the YOKE (#30) is free from the CUP LOCKS (#35). Step 2. Lift and remove the Paint Gun from the CUP (#34). Step 3.

Adjusting Jet Shape The Jet Shape is adjusted by turning the AIR CAP (#1). It should be perpendicular to the ground to create a horizontal jet and parallel to the ground to create a vertical jet. Adjusting Paint Output The Volume Output is adjusted by turning the VOLUME ADJUSTMENT SCREW (#12) clockwise to reduce the output and counterclockwise to increase the output.
SPRAYING TECHNIQUES Your Touch-Up Gun is designed for light touch-up work, stenciling, and small job duties. For heavy or medium production work, we suggest our H.V.L.P. and professional model spray guns. For most uses, e.g. painting walls, benches, vehicles, etc., the best results are obtained by spraying thin, even coats of paint. Let the layers dry in between coats. As with any manual process, practice leads to perfection.
