WHAT TO
LOOK FOR
Flammable
Spray
Materials

CAN OCCUR DURING NORMAL USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING
CHART.

WHAT COULD HAPPEN

HOW TO PREVENT IT

When paints or materials are sprayed, they are
broken into very small particles and mixed with air.
This will cause certain paints and materials to become extremely flammable

Never spray near open flamesor pilot lightsin stoves
or heaters.
Never smoke while spraying
Provide ample ventilation when spraying indoors.

Toxic Vapors

Some paints and coatings may be harmful if inhaled
or allowed to come into contact with skin or eyes

Use a mask or resp=rator =fthere =sa chance of inhaling
toxic sprayed materials Masks and respirators have
limits and will only provide protection against some
kinds and limited amounts of toxic material Read
mask and respirator instructions carefully. Consult
with a safety expert or industdal hygienist if you are not
sure about the use of a certain mask or respirator.

Compressed
Air

Compressed air may propel dirt, metal shavings, etc.
and possibly cause an injury

Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward a person or
part of the body_
Always wear safety goggles or glasses when spraying.

Pressurized
Parts

Certain parts are under pressure whenever the gun is
connected to a pressurized air line_ These parts may
be propelled if the gun is disassembled.

Disconnect the gun from the air line, or completely
depressurize the air line whenever the gun is to be
disassembled.

Explosion
Hazard Incompatible
Materials

The solvents 1,1,1-Tdchloroethane and Methylene
Chlodde can chemically react with the aluminum
used in most spray equipment, and this gun and cup,
to produce an explosion hazard

Read the label or data sheet for the material you intend
to spray.

2.
3

Do not use any type of spray coating material
containing these solvents
Do not use these solvents for equipment cleaning
or flushing
If in doubt as to whether a material is compatible,
contact your material supplier

GENERAL INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION
The Craftsman Detail Touch-Up Gun is the only spray gun of its type that can be simply converted for use by a left
or right handed sprayer, by simply unscrewing the trigger pin, turning the trigger over and re-inserting the trigger pin.
The complete Craftsman Detail Touch-Up Gun consists of a detail touch-up gun and 8 oz. (240 cc) suction cup
assembled. The detail touch-up gun is a non-bleeder, suction feed, external mix type. The cup has a one half pint
capacity.
NOTE: This spray gun is designed to spray stains, acrylics, lacquers, primers, automotive metallics and
other light and medium viscosity finishes Most unreduced latex or other heavy bodied materials require
the use of a pressure feed paint tank. If used with corrosive, rust-inducing, or highly abrasive materials,
frequent and thorough cleaning will be reqt,ired and/or may increase the need for replacement parts.

INSTALLATION
(Figure 1) Attach nut of paint cup
assembly to 1/4" NPT fluid inlet
nipple on spray gun, Tighten only
until snug, Position yoke at right
angle to gun body with cam toward
front of gun, Connect atomization
air line to air compressor.,

PREPARING PAINT
Be sure the surface to be sprayed is dry
and free of all dirt, grease, oil and loose
paint Mix and prepare paint in" accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Strain material to be sprayed
through a 60 to 90 mesh screen or

equivalent

OPERATION
This Craftsman Detail Touch-up gun should be flushed
with solvent prior to spraying with paint
A. Adjust air pressure to approximately 30 P.SL The
use of an air regulator assures clean, dry air.
B. Turn needle adjustment screw (18) out until first
thread shows This places the tip and needle in a full
open position which gives maximt,m tip and needle
life. Never turn all the way in, as triqqer cam will
break.
C. Turn fan adjusting screw (1) out until first thread
shows
D. Press trigger and adjust needle adjt, sting screw (18)
for desired material flow.
E. Press trigger and observe atomization of fluid If it is
too great, decrease air pressure at regulator If it is
not enough, increase air pressure at regulator
F. Press trigger and adjust fan adjusting screw (I) until
desired pattern is obtained A perfect pattern is a
full, even coat from end to end Each time needle
adjusting screw is adjusted Step E should be repeated

CONTROLLING THE FAN SPRAY
(Figure 2) The fan spray for an external mix nozzle set up is easily controlled by means of the fan adjusting
screw (1) By turning to the right
(clockwise) until it is closed will give
a rounded spray; turning it to the left
(counterclockwise)
will widen the
spray into a fan shape of any width
desired The direction of the fan spray
(horizontal or vertical) is obtained by
turning the air nozzle to the desired
position, then tightening the air cap/
retaining ring (24) Tighten only finger tighL Do not use pliers or wrench
to tighten or loosen

CONTROLLING THE FLUID
If a fluid pressure tank is used, the amount of fluid can be
controlled by regulating the pressure on the tank The
amount of fluid can also be controlled by means of the
fluid needle adjusting screw (18). By turning it clockwise
(to the right), the amount of fluid is reduced Turning it
counterclockwise (to the left) increases the amount of
fluid.

HINTS FOR GOOD SPRAYING TECHNIQUES
At all times hold the spray gun perpendicular to the
surface being sprayed. A spraying distance of 6-8 inches
is recommended. This distance can be varied depending
on the item being sprayed, the material or the air pressure used Release the trigger at the end of each lateral
stroke while the gun isstill traveling Start the gun moving
at the beginning of the next stroke so the gun is in motion
when the trigger is pressed (see illustration) This action
should be practiced until a smooth, steady, rhythmic
stroke becomes natural
sunt_,_£

kk\\\\\\\\\

\\\\\\

\\\\\\

\\\\\\_\_

Overlap each stroke 50%. This is done by aiming the gun
at the edge of the last stroke. A short practice period will
be necessary to achieve an even stroke. Avoid arching
the gun as this will leave an uneven coat of paint (see
illustration).

AND PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

Preventive maintenance should head off some problems
commonly encountered. Remember your detail touchup gun is precision engineered and proper maintenance
can help you get the fine quality results you desire

To Clean Gun: Spray a small amount of clean solvent
through the gun Never immerse the gun in solvents as
this removes lubricants and dries out the packings A
caustic solution should net be used to clean gun, as this
will destroy the aluminum alloy Remove air nozzle (23)
and wash it in solvent, If necessary to clean air nozzle
holes, use a broom straw or toothpick.. Never
use a steel wire or hard instrument as this
A
will result in distortion of spray pattern. Wipe
exterior of gun with solvent soaked cloth
Never soak gun in liquid detergent
ROUND

U

To Lubricate gun: After each day's use
place a drop of oil at trigger screw (9), fan
control packing (3), and fluid needle packing (12), Occasionally remove fan control
spring (5) and recoat with a light grease or
Vaseline.

I
FAN

MAINTENANCE
Proper adjustment of your Craftsman Detail Touch-Up
Gun will give you a normal spray pattern of this shape
(see illustration) If not, consult service check list on next
page,

NOTE: If water is used as a solvent clean the gun, spray
paint thinner or mineral spirits through the gun after
cleaning to remove any excess moisture and protect
parts
