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.
