OPERATION

Fill the paint container with the material to be sprayed. DO NOT OVERFILL above MAX level indicator. Push the fluid tube firmly into the base of the Spray Gun body. Screw the container onto the gun body tightly. Place the motor unit onto a clean surface, free from any loose debris or liquids. Connect the hose to the back of the Spray Gun. Uncoil the mains cable and plug in.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MOTOR UNIT AS FAR AWAY FROM THE SPRAYING AREA AS POSSIBLE TO PREVENT PAINT CONTAMINATING THE MOTOR.

MASK ANY AREA YOU DO NOT WISH TO SPRAY.

Once you have set up ready to spray, switch on the unit. No paint will be sprayed until the Trigger (16) on the Spray Gun is gently pulled. Before starting any work on spraying actual objects we suggest you spend some time practicing on cardboard or newspaper until you have got used to how the Spray Gun works.

●An airtight seal is essential for the correct operation of this gun.

●Before operating the unit please ensure that the Paint Container (13) is securely fixed to the gun body and the Gland Nut (9) is not loose.

●Over time the Gland Seal (10) will wear and need adjusting. To check the Gland Nut is correctly fitted you will need a small adjustable spanner. Pull the Trigger back and gradually tighten the Gland Nut by turning it in a clockwise direction until the Fluid Needle is not free to move when the Trigger is released.

●To obtain the optimum setting gradually unscrew the Gland Nut by turning it in an anti-clockwise direction until the Fluid Needle moves forward into the Fluid Tip (4). To check your settings are correct spray a container of water. Re-adjust if necessary.

SPRAY PATTERNS

Fig.2

Vertical Jet

Horizontal Jet

Round Jet

The Spray Gun has 3 different spray patterns – Horizontal, Vertical and Round (Fig.2).

The Horizontal and Vertical are recommended for large surfaces. The Horizontal is suitable for spraying up and down and the Vertical is suitable for spraying from side to side, while the Round spray is used for small objects or for areas - such as corners – that are difficult to reach.

To adjust the spray pattern, loosen the Air Cap Ring (1), adjust the position of the Air Cap (2) to obtain either a Vertical, Horizontal or Round pattern then re-tighten the Air Cap Ring.

PAINT VOLUME

The volume of paint sprayed is easily adjustable (Fig.3).

Completely close the Fluid Adjusting Screw (8) by turning this clockwise as far as it will go. Whilst pulling the Trigger, begin turning the Fluid Adjustment Screw anti-clockwise until the volume of paint you require is obtained.

If the paint spray is too wide or contains too much paint turn the Fluid Adjusting Screw clockwise again. Once the correct spray pattern is obtained you are able to commence spraying.

The paint volume needs to be adjusted everytime you change the spray pattern especially when you use the Round pattern, as this spray pattern can often contain too much paint.
