PREPARATION
The concept
A motor feeds out a high volume of air (HV) and enables paint products to be sprayed at a low pressure
(LP). The paint product is released from the Fluid Tip (4) of the Spray Gun at a very low pressure and is
enclosed in a high volume of air. The Air Hose (16) feeds the air produced by the motor to the Spray Gun.
The powerful motor can spray a wide range of paint with or without dilution. However, there will always be
some paint which will not be suitable for the Spray Gun. The good quality paint contains a high
percentage of dry particles which make the dilution easier. The users must keep in mind that low
temperatures make the paint thicker, that’s why we recommend spraying with the Spray Gun at a 15˚C
degrees minimum temperature.
• Carefully cover areas which are not to be painted with a plastic cover and protective tape.
• Wear a suitable mask when spraying products (and make sure there is adequate ventilation in the
>>
room when working indoors).
• Clean the surface you are going to paint. As well as being clean, it must also be dry and smooth.
• Practice first on some old wooden planks to make sure you are holding the Spray Gun correctly.
• We recommend you wear protective clothing.
• Stir the paint well using Paint Stirrer (19) supplied.
• Make sure there are no solid particles in the paint.
• Many products can be sprayed without being thinned. However, if the application is not good, thin the
>>
product progressively in stages of 5%.
• Most paints can be sprayed by being thinned just a little, e.g. by 5% or 10%.
• Some thick paints such as outer wall paints and certain undercoats will need to be thinned by 20% or
>>
25%.
• Use water to thin a water-based product.
• Use white spirit to thin a solvent-based product.
• Certain manufacturers will indicate on the can whether a specific thinner is to be used.

PARTS LIST
Fig.1
The viscosity, which is expressed in DIN/sec, is the time it takes for the paint to stop running as a
continuous flow through the Viscosity Cup (17) (Fig.2). Your Spray Station 1900 comes with a 2.0mm
Fluid Tip (4) and a 2.0mm Fluid Needle (8) fitted.
• Fill the Paint Container (15) with the product to be sprayed. Stir well (as mentioned above).
• Make sure the Pick-Up Tube (14) is firmly fitted into the base of the Spray Gun.
• Screw the Paint Container (15) to the base of the Spray Gun and tighten accordingly.
• Unroll the motor unit Air Hose (16) and attach it to the back of the Spray Gun.
• Unroll the power cable and attach the plug to the mains supply.
• Switch the SprayStation on. This will immediately cause some air to be produced, which is quite
>>
NORMAL. However, none of the product will be sprayed until the Spray Gun trigger is pulled.
