3. ADJUSTING THE SPRAY GUN
OPERATION
2. PREPARATION
1 Before pouring any paint
or thinners work out how
much of each substance is
needed.
3 Once the correct viscosity
is obtained, pour the
mixture into the paint pot.
Thinning is particularly important when spraying. Most paints
are supplied ready for brush application and need to be diluted
sufficiently for spraying purposes.
Follow the manufacturers guide for thinning ratios which
should be labelled on the paint container.
2 Pour the required paint and
thinners through a filter into
a mixing cup and then mix
thoroughly.

NOTE:
FOR BEST RESULTS, SURFACE PREPARATION AND PAINT
THINNING ARE THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT AREAS. ENSURE
ALL SURFACES ARE FREE OF DUST, DIRT AND GREASE.
IMPORTANT!
THE SPRAY GUN CANNOT BE USED WITH
MATERIALS CONTAINING ABRASIVE SUBSTANCES, GLAZES,
CAUSTIC AND ALKALINE SUBSTANCES.
1 Fully tighten the fluid
adjustment dial.
The fluid adjustment dial is a stop that limits the distance the
trigger can be pressed and can therefore limit the amount of
paint being sprayed.
2 Slightly loosen the fluid
adjustment dial, then test
setting on a scrap piece of
material.

3 Repeat step 2 until desired fluid output is reached.
The air regulator valve controls the air pressure entering the gun.

1 Squeeze the variable
trigger to start spraying.
Note:
The further the variable trigger is pressed, the more fluid
will flow through the gun.
2 Release the variable
trigger to stop spraying.

1 To restrict the air pressure
entering the gun turn the
valve clockwise.
2 To increase air pressure
entering the gun, turn the
air valve anti-clockwise.
