1. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Familiarise yourself with the application, limitations and 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.
Keep the spray gun clean for best and safest performance.
Ensure that the compressed air system can supply the spray gun
air consumption (4.2cfm).
 Wear approved safety respiratory protection and safety eye goggles.
 If spraying isocyanate based finisher, wear approved respirator/clean
air breathing apparatus and cover exposed skin with latex gloves
and an impervious hooded coverall.
Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose
jewellery and tie back long hair.
Locate the spray gun in a suitable work area. Keep area clean and
tidy and free from unrelated materials and ensure that there is
adequate ventilation and lighting.
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
When not in use, ensure that the air supply is turned off.
 Avoid unintentional operation of spray gun.
 DO NOT point spray gun at yourself, other persons or animals.
 DO NOT direct air from the air hose at yourself, other
persons or animals.
 DO NOT carry the spray gun by the hose, or yank the hose from
the air supply.
 DO NOT exceed the maximum air pressure of 35psi.
 DO NOT use the spray gun for any purpose other than that 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 in areas where there is condensation.
 DO NOT operate the spray gun if any parts are missing or damaged as this may cause failure
and/or personal injury.
When not in use, disconnect the spray gun from the air supply, clean thoroughly and store safely.

2. INTRODUCTION & SPECIFICATIONS
Original Language Version SSG701.V2 Issue: 2 - 18/01/10

3. AIR SUPPLY CONNECTION
Recommended supply system is shown below (fig.1).
3.1. Ensure that the spray gun trigger is in the "off" position before connecting to the air supply.
3.2. You will require an air pressure of 35psi and an air flow according to the specification.
WARNING! Ensure that the air supply is clean and does not exceed 35psi 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 cause damage and/or personal injury.
3.3. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the spray gun and invalidate your warranty.
3.4. Clean compressor air inlet filter weekly.
3.5. 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.
3.6. Keep hose away from heat, oil and
sharp edges. Check hoses for wear,
and make certain that all connections
are secure.
4.1. For best results, handle the gun correctly. It 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 give more accurate control of the gun
and the material (see right).
4.2. Spray from a distance of 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 fluid volume: To control the volume of fluid dispensed use the regulation screw.
(fig.2.1). To increase the volume of fluid turn the screw anti-clockwise. To decrease the volume of fluid
turn the screw clockwise. There is no on gun air pressure adjustment as this is automatically increased
as the fluid volume is increased.
4.4. Controlling the spray pattern: The SSG701 comes with two alternative air caps to give either a cone
shaped spray pattern or a fan shaped pattern. Before changing air caps disconnect the gun from the air
supply. Undo the air cap retaining ring (fig.2.2) and swap the air caps over. When using the fan pattern
remember to rotate the air cap so that its dispensing slot is vertical. Retighten the air cap retaining ring.

4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Original Language Version SSG701.V2 Issue: 2 - 18/01/10

5.1 Disconnect the gun from the air supply before attempting any maintenance or cleaning.
5.2 Flush the gun through with clean solvent immediately after use. (Any delay may cause the
nozzle and inner components to clog up.)
5.3 To maintain optimum performance, periodically disassemble those components directly in contact
with the fluid and soak them in clean solvent for at least 10 minutes. Brush clean if necessary and dry.
5.4 If you need to probe the holes in the nozzles, be sure to use a tool that is softer than brass; do not
use metal instruments.
5.5 Take extra care when reassembling parts after maintenance. Screw parts hand tight first 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 excessive force when reassembling.
5.6 Use a solvent soaked rag and/or a bristle brush to wash accumulated paint from the outside of the gun.
5.7 Do not immerse the entire gun in solvent. This will cause lubricants to dissolve and packing to dry out.
Dirty solvent may also clog the narrow passages in the gun.
5.8 Lubricate the gun daily with a light machine oil. Do not use lubricants containing silicone.

THE PROBLEM THE CAUSE THE SOLUTION
6. TROUBLESHOOTING
Poor atomization/heavy centre pattern
Heavy atomization, poor centre pattern
Top heavy or bottom heavy pattern
Intermittent spray pattern
Fluid flow is too high for
the air pressure and flow.
Air pressure and flow too
high for fluid flow.
Air entering the fluid
supply.
Possible paint build-up
between fluid nozzle and
air cap (A).
1. Increase air pressure by adjusting
regulator at source of air supply
(35psi max).
2. Reduce fluid flow as described in
section 4.3.
3. Paint may be too thick. If so, dilute it.
1. Reduce air pressure by adjusting
regulator at source of air supply
(35psi min).
2. Increase fluid flow as described in
section 4.3.
1. Tighten the connection between the
gun and the cup.
2. Tighten fluid nozzle with gun spanner.
3. Check if cup vent hole is blocked.
4. Check if cup is empty.
