SELECTING PAINT
This is a highly versatile Spray System that can be used
with several different spray mediums including varnishes,
wood preservatives, enamels, as well as oil-based and
water-based paints. The viscosity of these mediums is
less than 135 DIN SEC. However some materials cannot
be sprayed so please check the recommendation of the
manufacturer before buying the paint. If a material refers
to brush application only then it usually cannot be sprayed.
This unit cannot be used for textured paints. Use of these
materials will cause premature wear, which will void the
guarantee.
To obtain the best results from your spray system please
read the instructions carefully before use.
PREPARING FOR OPERATION
Preparation of the surface and thinning of the paint are
the two most important methods to be concerned with to
obtain the best results from your spray system.
Preparing the Spray Surface
Ensure all surfaces are free from dust, dirt, rust and
grease. If necessary rub down with sandpaper, or similar.
Masking of areas is important to ensure you do not spray
those areas you wish to remain untouched.
THINNING OR DILUTING SPRAY MATERIAL
Your spray system is supplied with a viscosity cup.
Viscosity is a technical term used to indicate if a product is
very thin or very thick. If thin, the viscosity is said to be low,
while if very thick the viscosity is said to be high.
Thinning is very important when spraying. Most paints are
supplied ready for brush application and may need to be
thinned (diluted) for spraying purposes.

with a sprayer. If in doubt please contact the manufactures
of the paint. The viscosity cup supplied will help you
determine the correct thickness 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 white spirit.

takes for the viscosity cup to empty. See Figure 10.
Using the above chart (or manufacture’s instructions) as a
guide, determine if the material requires further thinning, if
so then thin accordingly.
If the paint requires thinning, start with a 10% dilution of
the paint. For example:
Amount of spray
material (ml)
1000
2000
3000
4000
Paint thinner (ml)
100
200
300
400

Then use the viscosity cup supplied to add 100 ml of
required thinner. Stir the contents thoroughly, measure the
viscosity using the viscosity chart above. If paint requires
further thinning then repeat the above step.
NOTE:
Some paints are outside the ranges listed above.
Please contact our helpline for further information.
FILLING SPRAYER WITH PAINT/STAIN
6HH¿JXUH
Remove and discard any skin that has formed on top of
the paint or stain, then thoroughly mix the material in its
original container before beginning.
NOTE:
Older containers of stain and paint may need to be
strained before use.
Ŷ
Remove the battery pack from the sprayer.
Ŷ
Remove the quick-lock container by twisting clockwise
so that the arrow on the container lines up with the
“unlock” symbol on the lid.
Ŷ
Fill the container with paint or stain as desired. Do not
fill above the max fill mark on the container.
Ŷ
Reinstall the container on the sprayer and twist
counterclockwise so that the arrow on the container
lines up with the “lock” symbol on the lid.
