Read instruction manual
The electric motor has been designed for 230-240V
only. Always check that the power supply corresponds
to the voltage on the rating plate.
Always use an approved extension lead suitable for
the power input of this tool. Before use, inspect the
extension lead for signs of damage, wear and ageing.
Replace the extension lead if damaged or defective.
When using an extension lead on a reel, always
unwind the lead completely. Use of an extension lead
not suitable for the power input of the tool or which is
damaged or defective may result in a risk of re and
electric shock.
The power supply for this product should be protected
by a residual current device (rated at 30mA or less).
A residual current device reduces the risk of electric
shock.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly
qualied persons in order to avoid a hazard.
This tool is double insulated therefore no earth
wire is required.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in
explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of ammable 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. Unmodied
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.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use a residual
current device (RCD) protected supply.
Use of an RCD 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
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. Personal
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 nger 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.
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 tools operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.

USING YOUR
SPRAY GUN
PREPARATION
OPERATION
Filling the Paint Pot
Unscrew the paint pot from the spray gun. FIG B
While lling the pot with paint, lter the paint through a
piece of nylon stocking or a funnel which incorporates a
lter to remove any lumps or particles.
DO NOT OVERFILL. Fill up to the 700ml marking on
the paint pot. Carefully screw the paint pot into the spray
gun ensuring it is secure.
Switching On and Off
To turn on, squeeze the on/off trigger. FIG C
To turn off, release the on/off trigger.
Regulating the Spray Pattern
Before you start spraying, connect the unit to a power
source and turn the regulating knob counter-clockwise
to its maximum position. FIG D
Aim the spray gun at a scrap piece of material or
cardboard and squeeze the on/off trigger. Wait for the
unit to start spraying, then turn the regulating knob
clockwise until the best spray pattern is reached.
Rotating the regulating knob counterclockwise increases
the output spray pattern.
A good spray pattern is achieved with a ne spray
throughout the pattern. If you cannot obtain a good
spray pattern then the paint being sprayed probably still
requires further thinning.
Spraying Technique
Note: Do not operate the spray gun without any liquid
in the pot otherwise the pump will sustain excessive
wear and will void the warranty.
The spraying result depends considerably on how
smooth and clean the surface is, before spraying has
begun. For this reason the surface should be carefully
prepared and kept free of dust. Surfaces and parts not
to be sprayed should be masked by covering with sticky
tape and newspaper. It is advisable to carry out a trial
spraying onto cardboard or a similar surface to nd the
most suitable spray gun adjustments.
Note: Start spraying outside the surface to be sprayed
and avoid stopping in the middle of the surface being
sprayed.
1. To obtain the best results always keep the spray
gun upright to prevent air from being sucked into the
pump, which would result in an uneven spray.
2. Work from side to side keeping the spray gun at an
even distance from the workpiece. The right distance
will varying depending on the type of paint being
sprayed, 20cm is suggested to start with and adjust if
necessary. FIG E
3. The movement of the spray gun should be by the
arm rather than the wrist to ensure that the space
between the spray gun and surface remains the
same throughout the operation. FIG F
Uneven movement of the spray gun will produce an
uneven nish.
4. Do not tip the spray gun more than a 45° angle.
Material could ow into the motor housing and
damage the sprayer. Always rell the paint pot before
the paint level becomes lower than the pump intake.
Helpful Hints
• Do not spray outdoors on a windy day as the results
may be unsatisfactory.
• Evenly control the speed of movement of the spray
gun. A fast speed will give a thin coat and a slow
speed will give a heavy coat.
• Only apply one coat at a time. If a further coat is
required follow the paint manufacturers instructions
for re-coating and drying times.
• If spraying small areas or objects keep the output
setting low as this will avoid excessive use of paint
and will minimise overspray.
• When spraying large areas or objects, it is best to
use a crisscross pattern, either from left to right then
up or down or vice-versa. This will ensure maximum
coverage.
• Avoid stopping and starting when spraying as this
can lead to too much or not enough paint on a
surface.
• To ensure edges are covered, commence spraying
just to the side of an area being sprayed, continue
and do not stop until the spray has gone past the
opposite edge.
This tool is intended for use in a DIY (Do It Yourself)
context or for hobbyist purposes. It is not built for
continuous daily use in a trade or professional capacity.
Before using the machine, carefully read these
instructions, especially the safety rules to help ensure
that your machine always operates properly.
Before attempting to operate the machine, familiarise
yourself with the controls and make sure you know how
to stop the machine quickly in an emergency.
Save these instructions and the other documents
supplied with this machine for future reference.
Thinning
Caution: The spray gun is to be used only for paints
and solvents with a 21ºC ashpoint or higher.
Thinning is particularly important when spraying. Most
paints are supplied ready for brush application and need
to be diluted sufciently for spraying purposes.
Follow the manufacturers guide for thinning in
conjunction with a spray gun. If in doubt please consult
the manufacturer of the paint. The viscosity cup supplied
will help you determine the correct thickness of the
paint. As some paints, wood preservatives and other
sprayable materials contain particles and have different
qualities, please ensure that when lling the paint pot
on your spray gun, the paint is ltered through either
a funnel with a lter on it, or through nylon tights or
stockings. This will ensure no large particles enter the
paint pot, therefore preventing blockages and providing
you with trouble free spraying.
Ensure that a face mask, gloves, goggles and ear
protectors are worn at all times when spraying.
Floetrol® is an acrylic paint conditioner that you can add
to the paint pot which is for easy, trouble-free spraying.
It helps thin your paint however also reduces wear and
replacement cost of parts within the spray gun. It also
reduces tip clogging avoiding freeze up in the trigger
which gives you a professional nish. Floetrol® is
available from Bunnings Warehouse.
Determining Viscosity
It is vital to determine the viscosity of the coating
material to see if it is suitable to be used in the spray
gun. Using a material that is of too high a viscosity may
result in a chamber blockage which will prevent the
spray gun from working effectively.
To determine the viscosity, the provided viscosity cup
and a timer will be needed.
1. Stir the coating material thoroughly. Then dip the
viscosity cup into the material and submerge to
completely ll the cup.
2. Raise the cup back out of the tin and start timing as
soon as the bottom of the cup is above the surface of
the coating material.
3. Time how long it takes for the cup to empty.
The number of seconds it takes to empty directly
equates to the viscosity; this measurement is referred to
as DIN seconds (DIN-S). FIG A
If the spraying material is determined to be anything
above 30 DIN-S the material will need to be thinned
and tested again until a viscosity of 30 DIN-S or less is
achieved. Refer to the container of the coating material
for the manufactures instructions on how to thin the
material and follow accordingly.

WARNING! The power supply for this
product should be protected by a residual
current device (rated at 30mA or less).
WARNING! Ensure the spray gun is
disconnected from the mains power supply
before removing the paint pot.

MAINTENANCE
CLEANING
Caution: The spray gun must not be cleaned by using
ammable liquids with a ash point of less than 21ºC.
After every use it is essential that you clean the gun
thoroughly. This will prevent any blockages occurring
and provide constant performance when you next come
to use it.
When you have nished using the gun, empty any
remaining liquid out of the paint pot. Rinse the pot with
paint thinners and spray through the gun onto cardboard
or newspaper.
Remove the paint pot and suction tube, nozzle and
valve (the spring and piston will be attached to the
cylinder). Lubricate the cylinder, piston, valve and
suction tube with drops of a low-viscosity oil.
Assemble the parts back on the gun and briey switch
on (1-2 secs) to disperse the oil around the piston and
cylinder. This practise will help prevent corrosion and
keep parts lubricated for next use.
• If the housing of the gun requires cleaning dip a
cloth in the paint thinners, ensuring the cloth is not
dripping, wipe the exterior of the spray gun.
• Please be aware that certain parts of this spray gun
will wear, eventually requiring replacement and that
these parts are not covered by warranty. These parts
include the atomiser valve, spray nozzles, piston and
spring.
• Prior to storing the spray gun, ensure that it is
completely dry. This will minimise residue build-up for
the next use.
Note: XU1 will not be responsible for any damage
or injuries caused by the repair of the tool by an
unauthorised person or by mishandling of the tool.
