Operating Instructions
Preparation
To obtain the best results, it is important that you prepare the surface to be sprayed and thin the paint to the cor-
rect viscosity before you start work. Always ensure that the surface to be sprayed is free from dust, dirt, grease
and other foreign bodies. Always mask the areas around the areas to be sprayed using good quality masking
tape. The paint to be sprayed should be suited to the task and compatible with your spraygun. There should be
no lumps or other particles. Make sure that you have a properly working strainer. Many substances can be
sprayed with this gun but it is important that you check with your paint supplier before purchasing your paint. It is
very important that you check the panel for signs of silicone contamination
before
starting work.
Thinning
Most paints are supplied ready for the type of application and applying technique but may have to be thinned for
use with your spraygun. Always follow the paint manufactures advice on thinning paint. The viscosity cup sup-
plied will help you determine the correct viscosity of the paint to be used. To measure the viscosity if the paint fill
the cup to the brim and measure the length of time it take to empty. The table below shows the recommended
times for different materials. Please note that this is intended as a guide only and you should advice from your
paint supplier.

If the paint takes longer than the recommended time to empty, further thinning is required. Mix a small quantity of
the appropriate thinner and use the viscosity cup again until the required figure is achieved. Some paints contain
lumps and particles and these should be strained before use.
Spraying
Fill the paint cup with the appropriately thinned paint and screw onto the gun. Connect the air hose and then plug
in the mains supply and switch on. It is recommended that you use a test card or scrap panel to make sure that
