OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS & REPLACEMENT PARTS
INTRODUCTION:
62-Sprayers are ideal for use in art studios and hobby
workshops, also for window trimmers, auto finishers, furniture
finishers and general touch-up work. Department stores of
every type find the 62-Sprayers excellent time savers for touch-
up and color application of window displays. It’s simple design
makes it easy to operate, no special adjustments are needed.
The 62-Sprayer sprays medium consistency lacquer, enamel,
varnish stain, light oil, dye, liquid wax, automotive paint, fixative,
etc. Bakers, Confectioners and Candy Makers use it to apply
powder, sugar and fine granules.
NOTE: When spraying with acrylics, with any model or make
airbrush or sprayer, periodic cleaning is necessary to prevent
build-up.

listed on label of material being sprayed.

this sprayer at pressures up to 24 psi.
