This spray gun can be used with products having a viscosity ranging from 25 to

60 seconds. Dip the viscosity cup into the material and fill up. Time how long it

takes for the viscosity cup to empty (Fig 1). Using the above chart (or

manufacturerʼs instructions) as a guide, determine if the material requires

further thinning, if so then thin accordingly. If the paint requires thinning, start with

a 10% dilution of the paint. To do this, fill a 1litre container with the required paint.

The viscosity cup supplied with the unit holds 1/10 of a litre, block the hole in

the viscosity cup and fill up with the required thinner. Add the thinner to the paint

and stir, measure the viscosity using the recommended viscosity chart above.

If the paint requires further thinning, dilute the paint by another 5% (5% will be equal

to half a viscosity cup) with the required thinner and measure the viscosity, if the paint is not at its

recommended viscosity, repeat the above step.

Note: Some paints are outside the ranges listed above. Please contact our helpline for further information.

OPERATION

Fill the paint container with the material to be sprayed. DO NOT OVERFILL. Push the fluid tube firmly into

the base of the gun body. Screw the container onto the gun body tightly.

Place the unit onto a clean floor space, free from any loose debris, liquids or dust sheets that could block

the motor inlet. Unwind the hose from the main housing and connect to the back of the gun. Uncoil the

mains cable 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 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

a small amount of time practicing on cardboard or newspaper until you have got used to how the gun works.

SPRAY PATTERNS

1) To achieve a horizontal strip adjust the spray

direction plate (Fig.2) to the vertical position

then pull the Trigger and move your arm

across to the right.

2) When you get to the end of the line, release

the trigger for a moment and then apply the

product in the opposite direction just beneath

the line you have sprayed.

3) Next, to achieve a vertical strip (Fig.2) adjust the spray direction plate to the horizontal position then pull

the trigger and move your arm up and down over the horizontal strips you just have sprayed.

Through gradual movement of the spray direction plate (4) between horizontal, vertical and round spray

pattern you can vary the width of the pattern (Fig.2).

PAINT VOLUME

The volume of paint sprayed is easily adjustable (Fig.3). Completely close Fluid Adjustment Screw (10) 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 adjustment screw

clockwise again. Once the correct spray pattern is obtained you are able to

commence spraying.
