OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

PREPARATION B

Do not use textured wall paints or coatings as

this wHIblock the nozzle.

To obtain the best results, it is important that you pre-

pare the surface to be sprayed and thin the paint to

the correct viscosity, before you operate your spray

gun. Always ensure that the surfaces to be sprayed

are free from dust, dirt and grease. Make sure that you

have masked the areas that should not be sprayed,

using a good quality masking tape. The paint or ﬂ uid

to be sprayed should be thoroughly mixed and free

from lumps or other particles. Many substances can

be sprayed with your spray gun, but always check the

manufacturers recommendations before purchasingy-

our paint.

THINNING

Always rememberto disconnect from the

mains sup-ply before ﬁ lling the paint contain-

er with sprayable material.

Most paints are supplied ready for brush application

and will need to be thinned before they are suitable to

be sprayed. Follow the manufacturers advice on thin-

ning the paint when used with a spray gun. The viscos-

ity cup will help you to determine the correct viscosity of

paint to be used. To determine the correct viscosity, ﬁ ll

the cup to the brim with the paint. Measure the amount

of time it takes for the cup to empty back into the can.

The table below shows recommended times for differ-

ent types of material.

Plastic & latex paint 24 - 28 seconds

Water based paint 20-25 seconds

Primers 24-28 seconds

Varnishes 20-25 seconds

Oil based paints 18-22seconds

Enamel paints 18-22seconds

Aluminium paints 22-25 seconds

Carundersealing 25-35 seconds

Wood sealers 28-35 seconds

Wood preservatives Nothinningrequired

Wood stains Nothinningrequired

If the paint takes longer than the recommended time to

empty, then further thinning is required. Mix in a small

quantity of the appropriate thinner and use the viscos-

ity test until the correct thickness is achieved. Some

sprayable materials contain particles and lumps. These

materials should be strained before ﬁ lling the paint con-

tainer.

SPRAYING C

Fill the paint container with the correctly thinned

and strained paint. Connect the spray gun to the

mains supply. Aim the spray gun at a piece of

scrap material and operate the trigger switch until

paint is spraying. Adjust the output control

until the required volume of paint is spraying.

SPRAYING TECHNIQUES D

To obtain the best results, keep your spray gun level

and parallel to the surface at all times.

Keep the nozzle 25 - 30 cm from the surface and spray

evenly from side to side or up and down. Do not spray

at an angle as this will lead to paint runs on the surface.

Use smooth and even strokes. When spraying large

areas, use a criss-cross pattern as shown.

Never start or stop the spray gun while it is aimed at

the surface to be sprayed. Evenly control the speed of

movement of the spray gun. A fast speed of movement

over the surface will give a thin coat and aslowspeed

will givea heavy coat. Apply one coat at a time. If a fur-

ther coat is required, make sureyou observe the manu-

facturers drying time recommendations before apply-

ing a second coat. When spraying small areas, keep

the output control on a low setting. This will avoid using

too much paint and prevent overspray. Where possible,

avoid stopping and starting when spraying an object.

This can lead to too much, or not enough paint being

applied. Do not tip the spray gun to more than 45°

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always remember to disconnect from the

mains supply before cleaning the spray gun

or paint container.

It is essential that the spray gun is cleaned thoroughly

after every use. Failure to clean it will almost certainly

result in blockages and it may not operate when you

next come to use it! The guarantee does not cover

cleaning a sprayer that has not been properly cleaned

by the user.

The following action must be taken after every

use.

1. Empty any remaining material from the container.

2. Clean the container thoroughly with the thinner

thatwas used.

3. Pour some thinner into the container and spray

through the spray gun until only clean thinner is

coming out of the nozzle.

4.Thoroughly clean the paint pick uppipeand ﬁ lter with

thinner.

5.Clean the basket and nozzle and remove any other

debris or paint that remains.
