OPERATION
2. PREPARATION
1 Before pouring any paint
or thinners, work out how
much of each substance is
needed.
1 Submerge the viscosity
cup into the material to fill.
3 Time how long it takes to empty the cup. This is referred to
as DIN seconds.
Thinning is particularly important when spraying. Most paints
are supplied ready for brush application and need to be diluted
sufficiently for spraying purposes.
Note:
Water based paints can be thinned using water.
Follow the manufacturers guide for thinning ratios which
should be labelled on the paint container.
It is vital to determine the viscosity of the coating material to
see if it is suitable to be used in the spray gun.
2 Pour the required paint
and thinners using a filter
into a mixing cup and mix
thoroughly.
2 Raise the cup out of the
material and start timing.
4 If the material is above 60 DIN-sec the material will need to
be thinned more and retested.

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,
DISPERSION PAINTS, CAUSTIC AND ALKALINE SUBSTANCES,
TEXTURED COATINGS OR TOXIC SPRAYS.
1 Squeeze the on/off trigger
to start spraying.
1 Squeeze the trigger
while aiming at a piece of
cardboard or scrap.
1 Remove the filter cover by
removing the 4 screws with
a screwdriver.
3 Secure the filter cover back onto the spray gun with the 4
screws.
The regulator dial is a stop that limits the distance the trigger
can be pressed. This results in less material being sprayed.
2 Release the on/off trigger
to stop spraying.
2 Rotate the regulator dial
to the required position for
optimal results.
2 Wash or replace the dirty
filter and place inside the
inner cover.

CAUTION:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK,
A RESIDUAL CURRENT DEVICE (RATED 30MA OR LESS)
MUST BE USED.

WARNING!
NEVER OPERATE THE SPRAY GUN WITHOUT
A FILTER. DIRT COULD BE SUCKED IN AND DAMAGE THE
OPERATION OF THE UNIT.
