SPRAY NOZZLE SELECTION
The ASG100 spray gun is supplied with 0.6mm and 1.0mm nozzles, the ASG120 spray gun is also
supplied with a 0.8mm nozzle, these should be used as follows:
1) 0.6mm - This size works best for oil-based materials, stains, sealers, lacquers, water-proofers and
enamels for small application areas.
2) 0.8mm - This is a general purpose nozzle that works best for materials such as emulsions, latex and
thicker type paints.
3) 1.0mm - This nozzle is suitable for spraying woodcare treatments.
If when spraying you find that the spray pattern is small and splattery, and adjusting the output control
knob does not solve the problem, try a different nozzle size before further thinning the material.
USING THE FLEXIBLE EXTENSION TUBE.
Using the Flexible Extension Tube makes the painting of ceilings, floors & all
horizontal surfaces much easier. When fitted, the Flexible Extension Tube is bent
to avoid tilting the spray gun. Tilting the spray gun excessively can cause paint to
leak into the motor, causing serious damage.
TO FIT THE FLEXIBLE EXTENSION TUBE
(see fig.6)
1) Unscrew the spray gun nozzle by turning it anti-clockwise. Be sure to leave the valve in place but
check for wear.
2) Screw the end of the extension tube, with the internal thread, tightly onto the spray gun. Leaks may
occur if the flexible extension is loose or if excessive force is used to fit it. e.g. using pliers.
3) Fit a swirl head into the end of the flexible extension tube with the external thread.
4) Screw a nozzle onto the end of the flexible extension tube.
5) Bend the flexible extension to the required angle (45˚ maximum). Do not bend the extention tube
more times than necessary, as repeated bending can cause premature failure.
