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 rell 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 sufciently 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.
