Caution

1. Excellent Operability

The spray width adjustment valve is located on the left side for easy adjustment. The spray gun is lightweight with low operating force, ensuring no fatigue even during long-term use.

2. High Spraying Efficiency

In addition to traditional electrostatic nozzles, the use of small and lightweight round nozzles and flat


nozzles provides superior coverage, increasing paint transfer efficiency and significantly saving paint.

3. Easy Maintenance

Maintenance parts are modularized for simple replacement. Complex adjustments during assembly and seal tightening during use are not required.

4. Long Service Life

The plunger of the paint valve seat is made of cemented carbide, and the gasket adopts a spring-actuated seal and U-shaped gasket, ensuring durability and long service life.

5. Suitable for High-Quality Spraying

For workpieces with complex shapes and multiple cavities, the rotary air jet round nozzle (with the highest paint transfer efficiency among air atomization methods) is recommended. For flat workpieces with few cavities, the wide-angle multi-stage jet flat nozzle is suitable. Even for metallic topcoat spraying, excellent film results can be achieved.

6. Wide Range of Paint Compatibility

Suitable for most conductive paints, including general paints, metallic paints, and water-based paints.

7. High Safety

The controller (114) is equipped with overcurrent protection, high-speed voltage cutoff via electronic switch, and buzzer alarm, fully ensuring operator safety. The high-voltage electrostatic generator is built into the gun, minimizing the high-voltage electrostatic range and greatly improving safety

Installation

1. Connection of Air Source


Connect the air source to the air regulator on the high-voltage electrostatic generator. (Thread size: PF1/4)

spray gun air hose


1. Ground Wire Connection

Firmly connect the ground wire to the controller using a Phillips screwdriver.

Caution

Use a wire of 3.5mm² or larger for the ground wire of the controller unit. Wire it in a location with Type 1 grounding (ground resistance less than 10Ω) and ensure it is securely fastened to prevent loosening.


grounding

electrostatic spray guns grounding


When installing the power cable on the spray gun, fasten it by hand.

After tightening the power cable, secure the plug. If the installation position is incorrect, do not force it; retract the nut and re-tighten.

Caution

Do not use tools to forcefully tighten the cable, as this may damage the connector. Do not over-tighten; always secure it with the plug.

Caution

When bundling the power cable, air hose, and paint hose with cable ties, do not pull them too tightly; leave some slack. Over-tightening the power cable during use may cause wire breakage

1. Air Hose Connection

Connect one end of the air hose to the connector at the rear of the gun grip (next to the electrostatic cable), and the other end to the "Air Output" port on the controller, then tighten it. (Thread size: PF1/4; use a 17mm

spray gun air hose connet


1. Paint Hose Installation (For 1020 Series)

Connect one end of the paint hose connector to the front connector at the end of the gun handle (in front of the connection cable), and the metal connector at the other end to the paint supply device. (Thread size: PF1/4)

spray gun connetion


1. Bundling of Connection Cables and Usage Precautions

Caution

liquid paint spray gun



(1) To prevent a decrease in the strength and service life of the connection cable, follow these bundling precautions:

① The bundled part of the connection cable must be approximately 70cm away from the end of the gun handle.

② Bundle the air pipe, paint pipe, and cable loosely to avoid excessive bending or tension when moving the gun up, down, left, or right.


③ For bundling beyond 70cm from the end of the gun handle, use resin straps or plastic ties with 5cm intervals. Bundle loosely. Do not wrap with plastic ties or wide spiral hoses layer by layer, as this will make the bundled part rigid, leading to breakage or damage of the connection cable and pipes.

(When moving the gun up, down, left, or right, do not subject the cable to excessive bending or tension. Bundle the air pipe, paint pipe, and cable loosely.)

(Approx. 70cm distance; 5cm interval between straps)

(2) Operate and bundle the connection cables correctly to avoid excessive bending or pulling of the connection cable, air pipe, and paint pipe during spraying, which may reduce their strength or cause breakage.

(3) Do not step on the connection cable, especially on metal gratings, as this may cause breakage.

(4) Do not wrap the connection cable itself with plastic ties layer by layer to reinforce or prevent contamination; this will reduce cable strength and may cause breakage.

(5) Do not immerse the connection cable in solvents or paint for a long time, as this will significantly reduce its service life and strength.

(6) After cleaning the cable, wipe off any surface solvents or dry it with compressed air.

Do not use metal ties for bundling. Residual static electricity on metal parts may cause a tingling sensation to the operator


1. Flat Nozzle Installation

① Assemble the nut, air cap, and air cap holder.

② Assemble the paint nozzle and nozzle connector.

③ Insert the electrode needle into the paint nozzle, then install the assembled part ② onto the gun extension and tighten with a Hex8 wrench.

④ Install the assembled part ① onto the gun extension and tighten by hand.

Components: Electrode, Gun Extension, Paint Nozzle, Nozzle Connector, Nut, Air Cap, Air Cap Holder

Caution

Since the parts are made of resin, over-tightening may damage the internal threads of the nozzle connector. Be extra careful during installation and removal. 


Safety Management

For operational safety and long-term use of the spray gun, pay attention to the following items before, during, and after operation:

(1) The controller must be grounded.

The ground wire of the controller is fundamental for safe operation. The spray gun's ground is also derived from the controller, so ensure the ground wire is properly grounded.

(2) The workpiece to be coated must be kept grounded at all times.

Workpieces are generally grounded via the conveyor, but paint adhesion on the contact parts of the hanger may cause poor conductivity, leading to static charge accumulation on the workpiece, which can generate sparks and cause fires. Therefore, regularly remove paint from the hanger.

(3) All metal objects in the spray booth must be grounded.

High voltage in the spray booth ionizes the air around the spray gun. Ungrounded metal objects may become charged and generate sparks. Therefore, metal objects such as the spray gun mounting platform and safety barriers in the spray booth must be securely grounded. Do not place unused paint cans, tools, or other metal objects in the spray booth.

Solvent containers must be grounded even if placed near the entrance/exit outside the spray booth.

(4) Operate the spray gun with bare hands.

The grip of the spray gun is grounded via the control box. Wearing gloves during operation may cause static charge accumulation on the human body; contact with other grounded objects may result in electric shock or fire. If gloves must be worn, cut a hole in the palm area to ensure direct skin contact with the gun grip.

(5) Wear electrostatic shoes during operation.

Operators engaged in electrostatic spraying or working near the spray booth must wear electrostatic shoes to prevent static charge accumulation. Regularly check to ensure no paint clumps adhere to the shoes.

(6) The floor of the spray area must have an antistatic structure. For closed spray booths, the entire floor must meet this requirement. For open spray booths, the area including 1.5 meters on both sides of the opening and 2.5 meters in front of the opening must have an antistatic structure with a resistance of 1MΩ or less and be kept clean.

(7) When cleaning the nozzle, always turn off the power of the control box and ground the nozzle tip first. High voltage may be present during nozzle cleaning, which can cause fires. Turn off the power switch when interrupting or ending operations.

(8) Do not use metal brushes to clean the nozzle.

The nozzle is critical to the spray gun's performance. Using a metal brush may damage the nozzle, resulting in uneven atomization. Use the brush provided with the machine.

The nozzle is a precision part; keep it clean at all times and avoid over-tightening or damage. -18

(9) Do not immerse the spray gun body, power cable, or hoses in solvents.

The electrostatic spray gun is an electrical device; improper immersion in solvents may cause malfunctions.

(10) Do not drag the power cable or hoses on the ground; hang them from the ceiling or walls as much as possible. (When using conductive paint, hang the paint hose with insulating materials such as rubber hoses.)

Dragging cables and hoses on the ground may easily cause damage.

(11) Keep the interior of the spray booth and exhaust devices (ventilation pipes, fans) clean and perform


regular cleaning.

In the event of a fire, volatile paint gases in the spray booth and exhaust devices will act as fuel, exacerbating the disaster.

(12) Fully drain condensed water from air transformers, air compressors, etc.

Moisture in the air may cause poor spraying, alarm activation, or safety circuit operation. Pay close attention to moisture removal.

(13) Maintain a distance of at least 150mm between the nozzle tip and the workpiece.

By design, the potential of the electrostatic spray gun nozzle automatically decreases when close to the ground. However, when the paint pump is used with insulation (for low-resistance paints such as metallic paints, woodworking paints, water-based paints), the pump's potential will not decrease, increasing the risk of sparks.

Consider unexpected situations such as workpiece swinging or falling, and maintain a sufficient spraying distance.

(14) If using an insulation table, keep it at least 500mm away from surrounding objects. Before touching it, turn off the control box power and ground it.

Low-resistance paints conduct electricity similarly to wires; contact with the paint container may result in electric shock. Install a grounded safety barrier near passageways to prevent accidental contact by unauthorized personnel.

Keep a fire extinguisher on hand for emergencies.

(15) Do not pull the trigger toward people. Residual pressure may cause paint to spray even after operation or when paint/air pressure is not applied.

(16) Before operation, check for air and paint leaks. Regularly inspect for loose screws during use to avoid accidents.

(17) Comply with current regulations when using and installing this machine.

[Occupational Safety and Health Regulations, Safety and Health Measures for Electrostatic Spraying]

Caution

Do not allow personnel unfamiliar with safe operation to use this machine.

7. Pre-Operation Checks

1. Inspection of High-Voltage Generator

(1) Open the air valve, set the air regulator to 3~4kgf/cm², and supply air to the spray gun. Check for air leaks at the hose connections.

(2) Hold the gun grip, turn on the controller power switch (green light illuminates). No high-voltage static electricity is generated at the nozzle tip at this time.

(3) Pull the trigger to spray air from the nozzle. The pneumatic switch inside the controller will activate, generating high-voltage static electricity (red light illuminates). When the red light is on, high-voltage static electricity is present at the nozzle tip (no high-voltage static electricity when the switch on the gun grip is OFF).

Caution


Turn off the control box power switch after inspection.


1. Paint Mixing

This device can achieve electrostatic effects with most synthetic resin paints (except some special types), so no special mixing is required. However, to enhance electrostatic effects, adjust the solvent as needed.

Some low-resistance paints may not achieve the expected electrostatic effect. Verify the paint resistance with a paint resistance meter. Good results are generally achieved when the paint resistance is adjusted to 15~70MΩ·CM.

Note

To check the electrostatic effect: Ground a 20~30mm steel pipe and spray directly at it. A good electrostatic effect is indicated if the paint film forms on the back of the pipe.

Note

Most conductive paints with extremely low resistance (such as metallic paints) cannot achieve significant electrostatic effects. During high-voltage output, the high-voltage cutoff circuit of the control box will activate, triggering the alarm buzzer and cutting off the high voltage. Turning off the control box power switch will reset the alarm.

Note

When using paints and solvents with a flash point 5°C or higher than room temperature, always activate the ventilation device.

Note

For questions about paint compatibility with the spray gun and equipment, contact our company for consultation. -20


9. Operation Methods

1. Preparation for Spraying Operations

(1) Load Paint into the Paint Supply Device

The standard viscosity for this machine is 9~30 seconds/FC#4, but it can vary depending on paint type, solvent type, workpiece shape, film thickness, and other conditions. Before loading the paint, always measure its resistance.

(2) Start the Paint Supply Device and Deliver Paint to the Spray Gun

Set the air regulator to low pressure (approximately 0.1Mpa), start the pump, and draw in the paint. Use the paint regulator at the pump inlet/outlet to adjust the pump pressure to approximately 0.2~0.3Mpa.

Caution

Double-check the control box to ensure the power switch is in the OFF position.

(3) Spray Paint from the Gun

Set the atomizing air pressure to 0Mpa (no air spray), pull the trigger, and spray paint from the gun. If there is residual air in the paint hose, the paint will spray intermittently. Continue spraying until no air remains.

Adjust the paint spray rate using the paint regulator at the rear of the gun: turn left to increase the spray rate, turn right fully to stop spraying. During breaks, tighten the paint regulator to stop spraying or reduce


the paint supply pressure.

(4) Adjust the Atomizing Air Pressure and Verify Atomization

Set the atomizing air pressure to 0.2~0.3Mpa. Pull the trigger to atomize the paint, select a suitable nozzle, and adjust the atomizing air pressure as needed.

This machine uses an internal pressure sealing system. To prevent malfunction of the paint plunger, a small amount of air may escape from the plunger area. A slight air release sound is normal.

When Using a Flat Nozzle

The atomizing air adjustment valve on the top of the gun body is usually used in the fully open (left-rotated) position. Adjust it according to the spray width shape or atomization fineness. Adjust the spray width using the spray width adjustment valve on the left side of the gun: turn left to increase the width, turn right to decrease it.

When Using a Round Nozzle

Do not use the atomizing air adjustment valve on the gun. Only use the spray width adjustment valve on the left side, which is usually used in the fully open (left-rotated) position. Adjust it according to the spray width shape or atomization fineness.

Caution

Check for air leaks at the air hose connections and when the trigger resets. The control box power is activated during spraying; high-voltage static electricity is generated even when not spraying. -21


2. Start Spraying Operations

(1) Turn the control box power switch to the ON position. Pull the trigger; the red light illuminates, indicating high-voltage output at the nozzle tip. No high-voltage electricity is generated when the switch on the gun grip is OFF.

Caution

Before turning on the control box power switch, confirm that the control box is properly grounded.

Warning

Never wear gloves or rubber-soled shoes when holding the spray gun. The gun grip maintains zero potential when grounded via the control box, so no electric shock will occur when held with bare hands.

(2) Start the spraying operation. The 1020W/1020S allows voltage adjustment between 20~60Kv.

(3) When interrupting or ending the spraying operation, always turn off the control box power switch.

Caution

Do not place the spray gun on the workbench or leave it unattended when the control box power switch is ON.

Caution

For low-resistance paints (2MΩ·CM or less), place the paint pump on an insulation table before use. The paint pump will be charged with high voltage during operation; never touch it while high-voltage output is active. Before touching or refilling paint, turn off the power and ground the pump with a grounding rod.


3. Post-Operation Handling (If Operation Resumes Within 24 Hours)

(1) Turn off the electrostatic controller power. Hold the gun with one hand during operation; do not place it


on the ground.

(2) Set the atomizing air regulator to 0Mpa.

(3) Set the drive pressure of the paint supply device to 0Mpa.

(4) Spray residual paint from the nozzle to release residual pressure.

(5) To discharge residual static electricity, slowly ground the nozzle tip without pulling the trigger.

(6) Use a cloth dipped in solvent to clean paint residues from the nozzle and spray gun. Remove and clean the air duct (for round nozzles) or air cap (for flat nozzles).

Caution

To prevent accidental paint spraying due to unintended trigger pulls when not in use, close the paint regulator of the spray gun.

Caution

When cleaning the nozzle and air cap, keep the gun pointed downward to prevent solvent from entering the extension tube.

Caution

Do not immerse the spray gun body, power cable, or paint hose in solvent after cleaning or operation. The electrostatic spray gun is an electrical device; although seals prevent solvent ingress, long-term immersion will reduce durability and cause malfunctions.

Caution

For two-component chemically curing paints or easily precipitating paints, clean the equipment after each use in accordance with "4. Handling for Extended Inactivity".


4. Handling for Extended Inactivity (More Than 24 Hours)

(1) Turn off the control box power.

(2) Set the atomizing air regulator to 0MPa.

(3) Remove the suction pipe from the paint tank.

(4) Drive the paint supply device at low pressure (0.1Mpa) to drain residual paint from the pump.

(5) Pull the gun trigger to spray residual paint from the nozzle.

(6) Draw solvent into the paint pipe and discharge it through the return pipe. Repeat until the pump is clean.

(7) Discharge solvent from the nozzle to clean the interior of the hose and gun.

(8) Stop the pump and release residual pressure from the nozzle.

(9) Use a cloth dipped in solvent to clean paint residues from the nozzle and spray gun. Remove the nozzle and clean paint from the valve seat between the gun and nozzle.

Caution

Wait 10 seconds after turning off the control box power before cleaning. Over 90% of fires caused by electrostatic spray guns occur during nozzle cleaning. Always turn off the power first. Keep a fire extinguisher on hand for emergencies.

Caution

In case of abnormalities during operation, immediately turn off the control box power and reduce air and


paint pressure to zero.

Dispose of waste cleaning solvent in accordance with regulations: recycle it using a solvent recovery device or entrust it to a licensed industrial waste disposal company. -23


10. Maintenance

1. Spray Gun

(1) Keep the spray gun clean at all times. Do not immerse the gun body in solvent during cleaning; hold the gun and gently clean it with a soft brush or cloth dipped in solvent.

(2) Do not disassemble the gun except for troubleshooting. Disassembly is only permitted when replacing parts due to malfunctions to ensure the gun body's insulation.

(3) Always hang the spray gun on the hook when not in use. Turn off the control box power even for short periods of inactivity.

(4) The 1020W/1020S spray gun is lightweight with a resin body designed for sufficient strength. Avoid dropping it during use.

(5) Slight heating at the rear upper part of the gun due to high-voltage generator operation is normal and not a malfunction.


2. Nozzle

(1) Thoroughly clean the nozzle after each operation.

(2) To clear a clogged nozzle, do not use metal wire or tools to poke it. Soak it in solvent first, then blow it clean with compressed air. Do not use metal brushes for cleaning.

(3) Regularly clean the nozzle during operation. Paint adhesion on the nozzle will cause poor atomization and reduce electrostatic effects.


3. Paint Hose and Power Cable

(1) Keep them clean and free of paint or other debris.

(2) Avoid mechanical damage (e.g., stepping on, crushing, or rolling over them).

Caution

Turn off the control box power and release air/paint pressure before performing maintenance.

Caution

Ensure conductive containers are grounded during cleaning.
