Product Information
Full details
The Anest Iwata AZ3 HTE2 Gravity Spray Gun is designed for professional painters and automotive refinishers who require a high-level, fine-finish application. Its key benefit lies in the combination of a high-transfer efficiency (HTE2) design and a polished body that minimizes cleaning time. While it offers exceptional precision, users should note that the 1.5mm nozzle setup is best suited for specific coating viscosities rather than all-purpose heavy-duty painting.

FAQs
What is the primary use for a 1.5mm nozzle?
A 1.5mm nozzle is generally used for primers and some basecoats that require a medium flow rate.
Is this spray gun compatible with water-borne paints?
Yes, the AZ3 HTE2 is designed to handle modern paint systems, including water-borne coatings.
How do I maintain the polished body?
Use a soft, solvent-resistant cloth to wipe down the exterior; avoid using wire brushes or abrasive pads.
Does the gun come with a paint cup?
The gun is typically sold as a gravity-feed system; ensure your gravity cup is securely mounted before use.
How often should I lubricate the internal parts?
Lightly apply a non-silicone gun lubricant to the needle spring and packing seals after a thorough deep clean.
What should I do if the spray fan is lopsided?
Check the air cap for dried material blocking one side of the air horns; clean with a soft brush.
Troubleshooting
Splattering or uneven spray pattern
Check that the nozzle is tightened correctly and that the air cap is clean and free of dried paint.
Gun is leaking from the fluid needle packing
Tighten the needle packing nut slightly or replace the packing if the leak persists.
Air gauge is not reading correctly
Check the connections for air leaks and ensure the gauge mechanism is not clogged with debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first use, ensure the spray gun is properly flushed with a compatible solvent to remove any factory residue. To set up: 1. Connect the air regulator to the base of the handle. 2. Attach your air hose and check for leaks. 3. Adjust the air pressure according to your paint manufacturer's technical data sheet. 4. Perform a test pattern on a piece of masking paper to adjust the fluid needle and fan control. For care, always clean the gun immediately after use using a neutral solvent and a dedicated cleaning kit to prevent buildup in the fluid passages. Never leave the gun soaking in thinner for extended periods as this can damage the internal seals.
