ABOUT THE SG85.

The SG85 is a highly versatile electric airless spray gun, it can be used with several different spray mediums including varnishes, wood preservatives, enamel paint, oil based paint and water based paints. Airless spraying reduces the mist associated with air spraying and also reduces paint loss.

A number of applications can be performed including spraying fences, sheds, boats, furniture, radiators, models, louvre doors etc.

IMPORTANT- SELECTING PAINT Although a large number of paints and materials can be sprayed, some cannot. Please check manufacturers recommendation before purchasing paint. CUPRINOL® This company’s products clearly show which can be sprayed and which are brush only. If the can gives details of ‘Airless Spraying’ it can be sprayed. If it refers to brush application only it cannot be sprayed.

IT CANNOT BE USED FOR EXTERIOR TEXTURED WALL PAINTS OR TEXTURED COATINGS. USE OF THESE

MATERIALS WILL CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR ON THE PISTON AND WILL VOID YOUR GUARANTEE.

Surface preparation and paint thinning are the two most important areas to be concerned with to obtain the best results from your spray gun.

Masking is important to ensure you do not spray those areas you wish to remain untouched.

Ensure paint is thoroughly mixed.

THINNING

Thinning is particularly important when spraying. Most paints are supplied ready for brush application and need to be sufficiently diluted for spraying purposes.
