PRE-OPERATION SETUP
It is optimal to supply the spray gun with dry air. Use of a moisture trap or filter is recommended.
Before first use, flush spray gun by slightly filling cup and spraying an appropriate cleaner
until empty.
Be sure gravity cup is firmly attached to the spray gun body.
1. Sizing An Appropriate Air Compressor
A spray gun's magic happens in the air cap. An air cap has a required amount of air volume and air
force needed to atomize a liquid correctly and e ciently.
The Katana Plus's air cap requires a minimum volume of 9.9 CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) with an
air force anywhere between 10–30 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch). All this jargon can be confusing,
so we've included this helpful table to make things a little clearer.
COMPRESSOR RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOUR PROJECT:
Project Scale
Average Size
Horse Power (HP)
Tank Size
Minimum CFM* 2.2 CFM @ 90 PSI
*CFM means "Cubic Feet per Minute" and refers to the volume of air the compressor can produce.
Important Note: Compressor ratings will typically show how much volume (CFM) is produced at
40 and 90 PSI. If you set the compressor to deliver 20 PSI to the spray gun, it will provide about
double the CFM it would at 40 PSI.
2. Connecting Your Air Source
With the right size air source for your project selected, it's time to get the Katana Plus connected
to the compressor so you can start spraying! You'll need the following:
A
Thread Sealant 1/4 inch Female BSPP to Male
Tape (included) Industrial Quick-Disconnect
1
Thread sealant tape (A) prevents
air leaks. Wrap 2 inches of tape
clockwise around air inlet of
spray gun. Be sure the tape is
flat, not bunched, and pulled
just slightly taught.
