level may need topping up). Once topped up replace gun in Docking Station (19) and allow to circulate for 2 minutes. This will remove air from the

system.
Q5. What happens if I pull the trigger with the pump on?
A5. If the paint is primed in the tube with the pump on and the trigger is depressed, you will need to release the trigger and take a damp rag to the
nozzle and clean off any excess paint. Then turn the turbine on whilst holding a rag over the end to catch any excess paint from the air horn
holes. For a more thorough clean set the Spray Direction Plate (4) to horizontal or vertical pattern to lock the Fluid Tip (5) in place. Then you can

remove the Air Cap Ring (2) and Air Cap (3) for a more thorough clean in a sink /under a tap. (This also stands for any additional clean-up during

use). If the flow of paint is slow turn paint speed dial clockwise. If it is still too slow the paint may require dilution or the Pick-Up Tube (18b) may be

kinked.
Q6. What do I do if the atomization/ quality of spray is poor?
A6. If the paint atomization is poor try turning paint speed dial anticlockwise and scroll Paint Flow Adjuster (8) downwards. Otherwise the paint dilution

may require adjustment.
Q7. What do I do if the spray is sparse?
A7. If the paint spray is sparse, turn paint speed dial (Fig.23) clockwise and scroll Paint Flow Adjuster (8) upwards. Otherwise paint may require

dilution.
Q8. How do I stop the paint drying out if I pause the project for 15-90 minutes?
A8. If pausing a project for a short while (15-90mins) put half a cup of water on top of the paint in the container to prevent it from forming a skin.
Q9. How do I achieve a fine spray?
A9. By scrolling Paint Flow Adjuster (8) downwards and moving closer to the target a thinner pattern can be achieved. Great for edge detail or finishing

off next to masking tape.
Q10. What do I do when the tip of my gun clogs with paint?
A10. While spraying, the Fluid Tip (5) can become clogged with dried paint. Keep a damp cloth handy during your project to occasionally wipe this dried

paint away.
Q11. What do I do if the spray direction plate is not working?
A11. If the Spray Direction Plate (4) is not changing the spray pattern as expected, remove Air Cap (3) and ensure that the lugs on the Spray Direction

Plate (4) are located in the grooves on the Fluid Tip (5).
Q12. What do I do if my gun continues to spray after the trigger is released?
A12. If the gun continues spraying after the trigger is released, first ensure Air Cap Ring (2) is fitted tightly. If this does not solve the issue, thoroughly
clean the gun ensuring the Needle (7) and Fluid Tip (5) are free of all dried paint.
