INTRODUcTION
Utilises 600Watt electric motor with high performance turbine to deliver continuous volumes of air. Spray gun uses composite body, which has
low affinity for paint, enabling quick and easy cleaning. Gun includes air and paint controls for fine adjustment of spray pattern. Suitable for interior
and exterior use, applying water and oil based paints, lacquers and stains. Supplied with air hose, viscosity cup and shoulder strap.

PAINT PREPARATION
4.1.
checking paint viscosity.
As most paints are made for brush or roller, it will normally be necessary to thin the paint to achieve proper atomisation and good
coverage. Use the viscosity cup provided to check the viscosity of the material prior to thinning. dip the cup into the paint to completely fill
it and then time how long it takes for the paint to flow out again (fig.1). If the paint is the correct viscosity, the flow time should be
approximately between 8 and 20 seconds. If the flow time is more than 20 seconds the paint is probably too thick. Thin the paint
slightly and retest until the flow time is within the limits stated. If the flow time is less than eight seconds the paint is too thin.
4.2.
Paint condition.
Any debris in the paint will clog the spray gun, which will then require a complete strip down and clean, before the spray gun will
function again properly. This is particularly important when using paint that has previously been opened. The paint should be
thoroughly mixed and free from any lumps. If necessary, strain the paint through a 60 mesh paint strainer, to ensure a smooth finish.
The paint should be strained into a clean container and if any paint is left over, it should be stored in a clean container.
5. ASSEMbLY / PREPARATION
5.1.
Remove the spray gun from the unit and adjust the air cap by rotating it (or move the spray jets) to give the required spray pattern as
shown in fig.2.
5.2.
Unscrew the paint container. fill container with paint (see Section 4 regarding paint preparation). Refit the paint container to the gun
and tighten.
Lay out the air hose and connect one end to the back of the unit using a push and twist action. Similarly connect the other
end of the hose to the spray gun.
5.3.
Plug the unit into the mains supply and switch it on. The unit is now ready to use.
