1. paint output will also reduce the fan size THE PRESSURE TUBE When spraying never hold the gun upside down Keep the cup pointed downward below horizontal The cup must always be lower than the gun Upon stopping spraying for any reason first turn off the turbine Disconnect the hose and then open the cup to release pressure It s best to hang up the gun use any type of hook or rod for this Do not stand the gun on a bench or even the floor because it will always be prone to falling over which could damage the spraygun and cause paint to flow up the pressure tube and into the spraygun Any paint in the pressure tube 2024 or nipples 2023 the tube is attached to causes reduced amounts of paint through the gun This is because the cup pressure is too low Air is being restricted through the nipples by the paint blockage The symptom will be little or no paint and the reason will always be the nipples or pressure tube being clogged with dried paint 5 ACTUAL SPRAYING TECHNIQUES The spraygun should be held perpendicular to the surface at all times HOLD THE GUN NO MORE THAN 8 20cm AWAY FROM THE SURFACE TO BE PAINTED But closer is ok CORRECT METHOD Z Z PA Start moving the spraygun in the direction you want to spray and press the trigger Between each successive pass overlap by about a quarter INCORRECT METHOD Never for any reason point the spraygun directly at the face or head of a person INS2. seals 14 AIRCAP SET SELECTION The fluid nozzle 8004 and needle 8020 MUST always match exactly Size No 4 is standard with all Fuji sorayguns No 3 or No 4 can be used for any type of fine finishing application The difference between the two is that the 4 allows for more fluid output This is desirable when spraying fast drying lacquers It allows you to spray faster and wetter to obtain better leveling of the finish 3 additional setups are available as accessories Generally speaking the quality of atomization and finish suffers as you go to the larger size setups No 5 and 6 AIRCAP SET Part 9001 If you do not intend on spraying walls amp ceilings then the only two setups you would ever need would be the 3 Fine and Standard 4 No 3 Part 9001 3 1mm 039 FINE OUTPUT WATER BASED LACQUERS NITROCELLULOSE LACQUER SEALERS CELLULOSE ACRYLICS SYNTHETICS POLYURETHANE STAINS No 4 Part 9001 4 1 4mm 055 MEDIUM OUTPUT STANDARD Similar to No 3 but more coverage Best for AUTOMOTIVE ENAMELS NITROCELLULOSE LACQUER and LATEX where finer finish is required such as louver doors trim cabinets see section about Latex Also ideal for VARNISHES PRIMERS OIL BASED PAINTS and STAINS No 5 Part 9001 5 1 8mm 070 HIGH OUTPUT Larger surfaces thick layers spotted effects SEALERS VARNISH POLYURETHANE OILBASE PAINTS ENAMELS EPOXY PLASTIC ADHESIVES FLOOR PAVING PAINTS LATEX ETC No 6 Part 90

6. HANGING THE SHAPE OF THE FAN SF Turn the aircap 8002 until it clicks into the horizontal position This setting produces a vertical fan useful for spraying from side to side Then set the aircap in a vertical position This setting produces a horizontal fan useful for spraying up and down Now try setting the aircap at a 45 angle This setting produces a round fan pattern useful for spraying thinner objects Remember to turn down the amount of paint when you switch to a smaller round fan otherwise you will find that there will be too much paint concen trated in one spot To test try turning the fluid knob 8029 clockwise until you cannot pull the trigger Then unscrew it a little until a small amount of paint material comes out of the nozzle when you depress the trigger This results in a small circular fan If you continue to depress the trigger and move along your workpiece you will get a fine line From 6 away this will give you a fan about 1 2 in diameter This would be handy for spraying thin spindles on a chair for instance Then place the aircap to where it almost touches the test board and the fan size becomes extremely small similar to an airbrush Try writing your name with the gun If you get runs then you will have to adjust the fluid knob again at the back of the gun This type of technique is handy for repairs and touch up To obtain more coverage with a fuller spray unscrew the fluid knob Experimenting like
