PERFORMING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TASKS.
WARNING! FOR BEST RESULTS, SURFACE
PREPARATION AND PAINT THINNING SHOULD BE
PERFORMED. ENSURE ALL SURFACES ARE FREE OF
DUST, DIRT, & GREASE.
WARNING! PAINTING CAN BE A MESSY TASK.
WEAR SUITABLE CLOTHING AND ENSURE THE
SURROUNDINGS ARE PROPERLY COVERED
AND PROTECTED. USE OF A DROPSHEET IS
RECOMMENDED WITH THE SPRAYER.

Determining Viscosity
It is vital to determine the viscosity of the spray material to see if it is
suitable to be used in the spray gun.
Note: You will need to have a timer or stopwatch to perform this step.
1. Stir the material to make sure it’s evenly mixed. If bubbles are formed
during stirring, wait until these have dissipated before proceeding to the
next step.
2. Submerge the viscosity
measuring cup into the material
and ll it to the brim.
2. Raise the cup out of the liquid by
the handle and start the timer.
3. Time how long it takes to empty
the cup in seconds.
Note: The viscosity is measured
in DIN-seconds (DIN-s), so if it
takes 30 seconds for the liquid to
drain out of the measuring cup, the
material has a viscosity of 30DIN-s.
4. If the material is above 50DIN-s, the material will need to be thinned out
more and re-measured.
WARNING! THE SPRAY GUN CANNOT BE USED
WITH MATERIALS CONTAINING ABRASIVE
SUBSTANCES, GLAZES, DISPERSION PAINTS,
CAUSTIC AND ALKALINE SUBSTANCES, OR
TEXTURED COATINGS.
Choosing The Spray Direction
To change spray patterns, the Spray
Direction Adjustor can be rotated
clockwise to the desired direction.
1. For surfaces that are taller than
they are wide (vertical surfaces),
use a horizontal fan spray. This
can be achieved by rotating the
Spray Direction Adjustor to the
position shown.
2. For surfaces that are wider than
they are tall (horizontal surfaces),
use a vertical fan spray. This can
be achieved by rotating the Spray
Direction Adjustor to the position
shown.
3. For corners, edges and other
hard to access areas, use a round
spray. This can be achieved by
rotating the Spray Direction
Adjustor to the position shown.
Adjusting The Spray Fan Width
1. For a narrow fan spray, push the
Spray Width Deector anti-
clockwise.
2. For a wide fan spray, push the
Spray Width Deector clockwise.
4. CONTROLS
OPERATION

Adjusting The Spray Flow Rate
The Flow Regulator Dial is a stop that limits the distance the trigger can
be pressed. This results in less material being sprayed when the trigger is
pressed.
1.To lessen the amount of material
sprayed, turn the Dial clockwise.
2. To increase the amount sprayed
in one go, turn the Dial anti-
clockwise.
Note: After making any adjustments, always test the spray gun settings
on a scrap surface before using it on your project.
On/Off Trigger
1. Squeeze the On/Off Trigger to
start Spraying.
2. Release the On/Off Trigger to
stop spraying.
Quick Start Checklist
1. Measure out the amount of coating material required. Remember to take
into account the amount of thinner that will be added.
2. Check that the viscosity of the coating material is less than 50DIN-s.
3. Pour the material into the Paint Pot.
Note: Pouring the material through a ne lter (such as nylon stockings)
is recommended to remove any ne particles that may clog up the spray
nozzles.
4. Adjust the Suction Tube, Spray Pattern Adjustor, Spray Width Deector
and Flow Regulator Dial to the desired settings.
5. Test the settings on a scrap piece of material; repeat Step 4 as necessary.
Spraying Technique
1. Maintain a distance of roughly 20cm from the workpiece and keep the
Spray Gun perpendicular to the worksurface.
Note: Start spraying just before the start of your workpiece and end just
after to ensure a consistent spray on the edges of your workpiece.
2. Move the Spray Gun along the surface at a steady pace whilst maintaing
the distance and perpendicular angle.
3. Overlap each pass over the
workpiece by 2cm to achieve an
even coating.

Water Vs Oil Based Coating Materials
After each use it is essential that the spray gun is cleaned thoroughly. This
will prevent any blockages from occurring and ensure reliable performance
when you next come to use it.
If coating material was water based (acrylic paint), use ONLY water
when performing the cleaning procedure. Use of solvent based cleaning
materials on water based paints will result in a new substance that will be
extremely difcult to clean.
If coating material was oil based (enamel paint etc.) use ONLY the
appropriate cleaning solution. Read the cleaning instructions printed on the
coating material’s label to determine which cleaning material you need. The
following solvent based cleaning products are safe to use in this spray gun:
• Mineral Turpentine
• Paint Thinner
Flushing The System
1. Unscrew the Paint Pot and return
any remaining coating material
into a container for storage or
proper disposal.
2. Clean the Paint Pot and Suction
Tube with the Cleaning Brush
and solvent/water depending
on the type of coating material
previously used in the Spray Gun.
Note: Only use solvents with a
ash point over 21°C
3. Rell the Paint Pot with fresh
solvent/water and then screw
the Pot back onto the Spray
Head.
4. Spray the water/solvent through
the system into an empty
container. Repeat this step as
necessary until the water/solvent
coming out of the Spray Gun runs
clear.
5. Remove the Paint Pot and empty out any remaining solvent.
Note: Do not pour solvent or contaminated water down the drain as doing
so could pollute our water systems. Always dispose of waste material in an
appropriate and responsible manner.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the
warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless)
power tool.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you
to lose control.
2. Electrical safety
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase
the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.
Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords
increase the risk of electric shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use
of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
3. Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal
injury.
b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate
conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left
attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of
the power tool in unexpected situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
h. Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a fraction of a
second.
4. Power tool use and care
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in
the hands of untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power
tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,
taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power
tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
h. Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles
and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
5. Service
a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
