• Never under any circumstances aim the Spray un at another person or animal. In the event of injury occurring seek expert medical advice
immediately.
• The Spray un must only be used with paints and solvents that have a flash point suitable for spraying. If in doubt, consult the paint or solvent
manufacturer’s data.
• Always ensure there is adequate ventilation when spraying.
• NEVER spray near a naked flame, including appliance pilot light.
• NEVER smoke whilst spraying.
• NEVER allow children to operate or play with the Spray un.
• Always read the solvent manufacturer’s instructions before use.
• Always disconnect unit from mains supply when filling the paint container.
• Always wear a suitable protective mask when spraying. We would also recommend the use of gloves, goggles and overalls.

materials. ALWAYS C MPLY WITH THE SAFETY INSTRUCTI NS ISSUED WITH THIS PR DUCT AND THE MATERIAL BEING USED.
INTRODUCTION
The concept
A motor feeds out a high volume of air (HV) and enables products to be sprayed at a low pressure (LP). The Hose feeds the air produced by the
motor to the Spray un. The solution is released from the Fluid Tip of the Spray un at a very low pressure (0.14 bar) and is enclosed in a high
volume of air.
The powerful motor can spray a wide range of solutions with or without dilution. However, there will always be some which will not be suitable for
the Spray un. ood quality paint contains a high percentage of solids which make the dilution easier. The users must keep in mind that low
temperatures make the paint thicker, that’s why we recommend spraying with the Spray un at a 15°C minimum temperature.

PREPARATION
• Carefully cover areas which are not to be painted with a plastic cover and protective tape.
• Wear a suitable mask when spraying products (and make sure there is adequate ventilation in the room when working indoors).
• Clean the surface you are going to paint. As well as being clean, it must also be dry and smooth.
• Practice first on some old wooden planks to make sure you are holding the Spray un correctly.
• We recommend you wear protective clothing.
• Stir the paint well using a mixer where possible.
• Make sure there are no solid particles in the paint.
• Many products can be sprayed without being thinned. However, if the application is not good, thin the product progressively in stages of 5%.
• Most paints can be sprayed by being thinned just a little, e.g. by 5% or 10%.
• Some thick paints such as outer wall paints and certain undercoats will need to be thinned by 20% or 25%.
• Use water to thin a water-based product.
• Use appropriate thinner to thin solvent-based products.
• Certain manufacturers will indicate on the can whether a specific thinner is to be used.
• Certain paint manufacturers have specific paints available for HVLP application.
Your Spray Station, is a powerful and versatile solution, and comes with two sizes of Needle and Fluid Tip:
• The smaller Needle and Fluid Tip is the most commonly used size for decorative paints.
• The larger Needle and Fluid Tip, which can be easily assembled to the Spray un (with the Needle and Fluid Tip Tool (1)), is for thick paints such
as undercoats and smooth masonry paints.
There are other optional Needle and Fluid Tip sizes available to purchase for more specific applications.
SET UP
• Fill the Paint Container (12) with the product to be sprayed. Stir well (as mentioned previously) and strain to remove any bits which will interfere
with a smooth consistent spray.
• Make sure the Paint Container Seal (10) and Pick-up Tube (11) are firmly fitted into the base of the Spray un.
• Screw the Paint Container (12) to the base of the Spray un and tighten accordingly.
• Start with the Paint Flow Adjuster (9) at its minimum setting so the Trigger can not be pulled. Do not forget that the Paint Flow Adjuster controls the
quantity of paint sprayed (Fig.4).
• Uncoil the air Hose and attach it to the back of the Spray un and the other end to the Spray Station.
• Uncoil the power cable and attach the plug to the mains supply.
• Switch the Spray Station on. This will immediately cause some air to be produced, which is quite NORMAL. However, none of the product will be
sprayed until the Spray un Trigger is pulled.
•Very important: when spraying for the first time, we recommend that you always leave the motor unit to run for 1 to 2 minutes before applying the
product. Do not forget that the Paint Flow Adjuster controls the quantity of paint sprayed (Fig.4).
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE M T R UNIT IS N A RIGID SURFACE AND FREE FR M DUST.
3 spray patterns
Horizontal and Vertical Spray with varying widths Round Spray
Vertical and Horizontal for normal sized jobs Round for small and precise jobs
The most commonly used technique for painting a large surface is the ‘crisscross’ technique, i.e. you apply the product in a horizontal strips and
then cross over these strips by applying the product in a vertical strips (Fig. 3).
1) To achieve a horizontal strip adjust the Spray Direction Plate to the vertical position then pull the Trigger and move your arm across
to the right.
2) When you get to the end of the line, release the Trigger for a moment and then apply the product in the opposite direction
just beneath the line you have sprayed.
3) Next, to achieve a vertical strip adjust the Spray Direction Plate to the horizontal position then pull the Trigger and move your arm
up and down over the horizontal strips you just have sprayed.
Through gradual movement of the Spray Direction Plate (4) between Horizontal, Vertical and Round spray pattern you can vary the width of the
pattern (Fig.3)
HINT: To obtain the best results always keep your Spray un level and at an equal distance from the object you are spraying, ideally 25-30cm
(10“-12”) (Fig.5/6). Let your arm control the movement rather than your wrist (Fig.5/6). This will help give you an even paint distribution.
HINT: HVLP technology produces warm air through the Air Cap allowing the paint to dry quicker which can enhance the final effect.
HINT: For ceilings and floors make sure the Pick-up Tube is properly oriented towards the handle of the Spray un.

Type of paint Cleaning
Water based paint Clean with water
Oiled based paint Clean with appropriate thinner e.g. White Spirit
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
SPRAY GUN
HINT: Before removing or re-inserting the Needle and Fluid Tip ensure the Spray un has been flushed through with water or the appropriate
thinner so the inner tube is clean.
HINT: When done immediately the cleaning operation can take you less than 5 minutes. If taking a break, leave the Spray un in a plastic bag to
prevent the paint from drying.
• Remove the Paint Container (12).
• Pour any leftover paint into its container so that it can be used for the future. Pull the Trigger to allow paint to run out of the Pick-up Tube (11).
• Pour a quantity of the respective thinner into container, shake the Spray un lightly, reassemble the Spray un, then spray this liquid though the
Spray un. Repeat this until the thinner being sprayed is coming through with no traces of paint.
• Clean any traces of paint off the outside of the Spray un.
• Clean the Paint Container Seal (10).
FLUID TIP AND NEEDLE
• Unscrew Air Cap Ring (2).
• Remove the Air Cap (3).
• Remove the Spray Direction Plate (4).
• It is recommended that you push the Trigger forward to help release the Fluid Tip (5).
• Using the Needle and Fluid Tip Tool - pincer end A (1) remove the Fluid Tip (5).
• Insert the Needle and Fluid Tip end B (1) into the inner tube and unscrew the Needle anticlockwise, then pull to release the Needle.
• Place all of these items into a container and clean, then using a brush and the respective thinners.
• Clean the inside of the body of the Spray un.
• Thoroughly dry all parts before reassembling.
• Reassemble parts in reverse order.
• Ensure the Air Cap Ring (2) is fully tightened and the Fluid Tip is pushed into place so that the Spray un Needle will shut off. NB: Ensure the
Spray Direction Plate is free to move. If necessary loosen the Air Cap Ring (2) slightly.
• NEVER DISPOSE OF PAINTS OR SOLVENTS DOWN THE DRAIN. ALWAYS USE YOUR LOCAL WASTE COLLECTION SITE.
• The motor unit itself does not require any specific maintenance apart from checking that the filter is not clogged up (the filter can be removed and
washed). The filter can be found in the base of the motor unit.
Important: Each Fluid Needle is manufactured to fit the size of the corresponding Fluid Tip. Do not try to fit a 2.0 mm Fluid Needle to a 3.0 mm
Fluid Tip.
