THINNING
Thinning is very important when spraying. Most paints are supplied ready for brush application and
may need to be thinned (diluted) for spraying purposes. Follow the manufacturers guide for thinning
in conjunction with a spray gun. If in doubt contact the manufacturers of the paint. Paint is “thinned”
by adding the substance which the paint is based upon. If a water-based paint then water is added, if
oil-based then mineral spirits.
Some paints, wood preservatives and other sprayable materials may contain particles that have grainy
material. Please ensure that when filling the paint container of the spray gun that the paint is filtered.
This will ensure that no large particles that can cause blockages enter the paint container, providing you
with trouble-free spraying. We recommend that a face mask, gloves and goggles are worn at all times
when spraying.
VERY IMPORTANT: When spraying for the first time, we recommend you run the motor for 1 to 2
minutes before applying the product. Do not forget that the Fluid Control Adjuster (20/24) controls the
volume of paint sprayed, for instance the more the Fluid Control Adjuster is tightened the less paint is
sprayed..
SPRAY PATTERN
360° SPRAY PATTERN ROTATION
The 360° rotating air cap at the front of the gun allows complete flexibility in any fan angle from
horizontal to vertical and everything in between. This is especially useful when working in confined
spaces or spraying on odd shaped substrates.
