2. INTRODUCTION AND SPECIFICATIONS
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS,
WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS. USE THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS
INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE
WARRANTY. PLEASE KEEP INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.
1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
✓Familiarise yourself with this products application and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to the spray gun.
❐ WARNING! Disconnect the spray gun from the air supply before changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.
✓ Maintain the spray gun in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
✓Replace or repair damaged parts. Use recommended parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
✓Locate the spray gun in a suitable work area, keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials, and ensure there is adequate
ventilation and lighting.
✓Keep the spray gun clean for best and safest performance.
✓Ensure the air system can supply sufficient air flow for the spray gun - see specifications.
✓ Wear approved respiratory protection and safety eye goggles.
✓Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings, and other loose jewellery, and tie back long hair.
✓Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
✓When not in use ensure the air supply is turned off.
✓ Avoid unintentional operation.
✗ DO NOT point spray gun at yourself, at other persons or animals.
✗ DO NOT carry the by the air hose, or yank the hose from the air supply.
✗ DO NOT use the spray gun for any purpose other than for which it is designed.
✗ DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the spray gun.
✗ DO NOT get the spray gun wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
✗ DO NOT operate gun if any parts are missing or damaged as this may cause failure and/or personal injury.
✗ DO NOT direct air from the air hose at yourself or others.
✓When not in use switch the spray gun off, and disconnect from the air supply.
3. AIR SUPPLY CONNECTION
fig 1
SG6VC.V3 - 1 - 230108
3.1. Air Supply
Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig 1.
3.1.1. Ensure spray gun air valve (or trigger) is in the off position before connecting to the air supply.
3.1.2. You will require an air pressure of 50psi and an air flow according to specification.
3.1.3. ❐WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 50psi while operating the spray gun. Too high an air pressure
and/or unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
3.1.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will ruin the paint finish and damage the spray gun.
3.1.5. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
3.1.6. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose diameter should
be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
3.1.7. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear and make certain that all connections are secure.
3.2. Couplings
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the spray gun. To overcome this, connect a leader hose to the
spray gun. A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See fig 1 & 2.
fig 2
Ideal for blowing in small areas of panel where fine control of paint and air is necessary.
Features adjustable paint flow and fan width controls. Supplied with aluminium gravity
feed pot and comfortable composite gun handle. Suitable for use with waterborne
paints. Alternative set-ups available separately.
Standard Set Up: ...................................0.8mm
Optional Set Up ....................................0.5mm
Air Pressure:........................................50psi
Air Consumption: ..................................5-7cfm

FOR OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THE GUN IS CORRECTLY CLEANED
AFTER EACH USE.
Disconnect from the air supply before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
5.1. Cleaning the gun
5.1.1. Immerse the front end of the gun only in solvent. The solvent should just cover the fluid connection (fig.7).
5.1.2. Use a bristle brush and solvent to wash off accumulated paint.
5.1.3. Do not immerse the entire gun in solvent as this will cause lubricants on the rubber seals to dissolve.
Dirty solvent may also clog narrow passages in the gun.
5.1.4. Flush the gun through with clean solvent.
5.1.5. Wipe the outside of the gun with a dampened solvent rag.
5. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4.1. For best results, the gun should be held perpendicular to the surface being sprayed and moved parallel
to it. Start the stroke before squeezing the trigger and release the trigger before finishing the stroke. This
will enable you to accurately control the gun and material (fig. 3).
4.2. Spray from a distance of about 150mm (6") to 250mm (10") depending on the material and the
atomizing pressure. The material deposited should always be even and wet. Each stroke must overlap
the preceding stroke to obtain a uniform finish.
To reduce over-spray and obtain maximum efficiency, spray with the lowest possible atomizing air
pressure.
4.3. Controlling the fan spray and the fluid.
a) Use the needle (paint) adjustment knob (fig.4.1) to increase or decrease the amount of paint flow.
b) The air flow is controlled by knob (2).
c) A s width of spray is increased more material must pass through the gun to obtain the same coverage
on the increased area.
d) Turn the air nozzle (3) to achieve a horizontal or vertical fan spray. Lock the nozzle with retaining
ring (4). The spray pattern of the gun is variable from round to flat with all patterns in between. In
normal operation, the wings on the nozzle are horizontal as (fig.5). This provides a vertical fan-
shaped pattern which gives maximum uniform and even coverage when moving the gun back and
forth, parallel to the work surface (fig.6).

. TROUBLESHOOTING
Dried material in a dirty side port
restricts passage of air. Greater flow of
air from the cleaner side port forces a
fan pattern in the direction of the
clogged side.
Dried material around the outside of the
fluid nozzle tip restricts the passage of
atomizing air at one point through the
centre opening of the air nozzle and
results in the pattern shown.
Material to thin or atomization air
pressure too high.
Dirt between the fluid nozzle seat and
body or loosely installed fluid nozzle will
cause the gun to spit.
Material bubbles or
“boils”
in paint cup.
Atomised air flowing through the paint
channel to pot.
The paint nozzle is not tight enough.
Air nozzle is not completely screwed in.
Tighten, clean or replace parts accordingly.
Dissolve material in the side ports with
solvent, then blow the gun clean. Do not
poke into the opening with metal
instruments.
Remove the air nozzle and wipe off fluid tip
using a rag dampened with solvent. Tighten
the air nozzle.
Regulate material viscosity or reduce air
pressure.
Remove the fluid nozzle, clean the back of
the nozzle and the nozzle seat in the gun
body using a rag dampened with thinner.
Replace the nozzle and secure it tightly
against the body.
VIEW OF PROBLEM POSSIBLE REASON FOR PROBLEM SOLUTION
A faulty spray is usually caused by improper cleaning or dried material around the fluid nozzle tip or in the air
nozzle. Soak these parts in a solvent that will soften the dried material and remove with a brush or a cloth.
Never use metal instruments to clean the air or fluid nozzles. These parts are carefully machined and any
damage to them will cause a faulty spray. If either the air nozzle or fluid nozzle is damaged, the part must be
replaced before a perfect spay can be obtained.

5.2. Air nozzle, fluid nozzle and needle assembly
5.2.1. To clean the nozzles, soak them in solvent to dissolve any dried material then blow them clean with
air. Handle all nozzles carefully and do not make any alterations to the gun.
5.2.2. If you need to probe the holes in the nozzles, use a tool that is softer than brass; do not use metal instruments.
5.2.3. Adjust the fluid needle valve so that when the gun is triggered, air flow occurs before fluid flow.
5.3. Maintenance
Take care when re-assembling. Screw parts hand tight to avoid cross-threading. If a part cannot easily
be turned by hand, check that you have the correct part, or unscrew, realign and try again.
DO NOT use force when re-assembling.
5.3.1. Lubricate the gun daily with a light machine oil.
5.3.2. If you change the nozzle size, ensure the complete nozzle set is exchanged. Insert paint nozzle before
putting the paint needle in.
