O erating Instructions
Pre aration
To obtain the best results, it is important that you prepare the surface to be sprayed and thin the
paint to the correct viscosity before you start work. Always ensure that the surface to be sprayed is
free from dust, dirt, grease and other foreign bodies. Always mask the areas around the areas to
be sprayed using good quality masking tape. The paint to be sprayed should be suited to the task
and compatible with your spraygun. There should be no lumps or other particles. Make sure that
you have a properly working strainer. Many substances can be sprayed with this gun buy it is im-
portant that you check with your paint supplier before purchasing your paint. It is very important
that you check the panel for signs of silicone contamination before starting work.
Thinning
Most paints are supplied ready for the type of application and applying technique but may have to
be thinned for use with your spraygun. Always follow the paint manufactures advice on thinning
paint. A viscosity cup will help you determine the correct viscosity of the paint to be used. To
measure the viscosity of the paint fill the cup to the brim and measure the length of time it take to
empty. The table below shows the recommended times for different materials. Please note that
this is intended as a guide only and you should advice from your paint supplier.
Plastic & Latex 24-28secs Water based Paint 20-25secs
Primers 24-28secs Varnishes 20-25secs
Oil based paints 18-22secs Enamel paints 18-22secs
Aluminium paints 22-25secs Car underseal 25-35secs
Wood sealers 28-35secs Wood preservatives ot required
Wood stains ot required
If the paint takes longer than the recommended time to empty, further thinning is required. Mix a
small quantity of the appropriate thinner and use the viscosity cup again until the required figure is
achieved. Some paints contain lumps and particles and these should be strained before use.
S raying
Fill the paint cup with the appropriately thinned paint and screw onto the gun. Connect the air hose
switch on compressor. See Fig.1 for the recommended air line setup It is recommended that you
use a test card or scrap panel to make sure that the paint is correct. This also aids comparison
with existing paint work.
To get best results, keep your spraygun level and at 90oto the surface at all times (see Fig.2).
Keep the nozzle 200-300mm from the surface and spray evenly from side to side or up and down.
Spraying at an angle will lead to paint runs. Use smooth, even strokes. When spraying large

ever start or stop the gun whilst it is aimed at the workpiece. Too fast a pass will give a thin and
patchy coat whilst too slow a pass will result in a heavy coat. Apply one coat at a time and observe
manufacturers drying times before applying the next coat or finishing/polishing.
Do not tip the gun more that 45o.
Maintenance
- GU MUST BE SERVICED BY A COMPETE T PERSO
- ALWAYS DISCO ECT FROM AIR SUPPLY BEFORE CLEA I G, DISMA TLI G OR

- EVER IMMERSE GU I SOLVE T.
- Pour remaining paint into another container and then clean paint passages and air cap. Spray a
small amount of thinner to clean paint passages. Insufficient cleaning adverse pattern shape and
particles. Clean promptly two-part paint promptly after use.
- Clean other sections of the gun with the brush soaked in thinner or with a waste cloth.
- Always change to air cap, fluid nozzle and needle as a matched set.
- Lightly lube all moving parts with a non-petroleum based lubricant.
