WARNING!
ENSURE THE TOOL IS SWITCHED
OFF AND THE BATTERY IS REMOVED BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING TASKS.
Water Vs Oil Based Coating Materials
After each use it is essential that the spray gun is cleaned thoroughly. This
will prevent any blockages from occurring and ensure reliable performance
when you next come to use it.
If coating material was
water based
(acrylic paint), use ONLY water
when performing the cleaning procedure. Use of solvent based cleaning
materials on water based paints will result in a new substance that will be
extremely difficult to clean.
If coating material was
oil based
(enamel paint etc.) use ONLY the
appropriate cleaning solution. Read the cleaning instructions printed on the
coating material’s label to determine which cleaning material you need. The
following solvent based cleaning products are safe to use in this spray gun:
• Mineral Turpentine
• Paint Thinner
Flushing The System
1. Unscrew the Paint Pot and return
any remaining coating material
into a container for storage or
proper disposal.
2. Clean the Paint Pot and Suction
Tube with the Cleaning Brush
and solvent/water depending
on the type of coating material
previously used in the Spray Gun.
Note:
Only use solvents with a
flash point over 21°C
3. Refill the Paint Pot with fresh
solvent/water and then screw
the Pot back onto the Spray
Head.
4. Spray the water/solvent through
the system into an empty
container. Repeat this step as
necessary until the water/solvent
coming out of the Spray Gun runs
clear.
5. Remove the Paint Pot and empty out any remaining solvent.
Note:
Do not pour solvent or contaminated water down the drain as doing
so could pollute our water systems. Always dispose of waste material in an
appropriate and responsible manner.
