This is a highly versatile spray kit that can be used with several different spray mediums including varnishes, wood preservatives, enamels, oil and

water-based paints and automotive paints. However some materials cannot be sprayed so please check the recommendation of the manufacturer

before buying the paint. If a material refers to brush application only then it usually cannot be sprayed.

THIS UNIT CANNOT BE USED FOR TEXTURED PAINTS. USE OF THESE MATERIALS WILL CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR, WHICH WILL VOID

YOUR GUARANTEE. TO OBTAIN THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR SPRAY KIT PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE

USE.

Preparation of the surface and thinning of the paint are the two most important areas to be concerned with to obtain the best results from your spray

kit. Ensure all surfaces are free from dust, dirt, rust and grease. If necessary rub down with sandpaper, or similar. Masking of areas is important to

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

Fill the paint container with the material to be sprayed. Take care not to overfill. Stir well using Paint Stirrer (31) supplied.

Take the spray gun unit and with the Clamp Lever (22) turned fully anticlockwise, locate the spray gun unit into the Paint Container (17). Rotate the

container until the 2 pins locate into the recesses in the Yoke (23). Now turn the clamp lever clockwise to secure the paint container to the lid. Do not

over-tighten.

Place the motor unit onto a clean and level floor space, free from any loose debris, liquids or dust sheets that could block the motor inlet. Uncoil the

Air Hose (28) and attach it to the back of the spray gun and the other end to the Spray Station. Uncoil the power cord from the base of the unit 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 and are ready to spray, switch on the unit. No paint will be sprayed from the gun until the trigger on the spray gun is pulled.

Before starting any work on spraying actual objects we suggest you spend time practicing on cardboard or newspaper until you have got used to how

the gun works.

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

The Horizontal and Vertical sprays are recommended for large surfaces. The round spray is used for

small objects or for areas - such as corners – that are difficult to reach.

To change the spray pattern simply rotate the Air Cap (2) until it clicks into the desired settings as shown

in (Fig.2).
