80W SPRAY GUN SF75
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Before using your spray gun
be sure to read the instruction manual
carefully.
Note: Do not use textured wall paints or
coating because it will block the nozzle.
To obtain the best results, it is important that
you prepare the surface to be sprayed and thin
the paint to the correct viscosity. Before you
operate your spray gun, always ensure that the
surfaces to be sprayed are free from dust, dirt
and grease. Make sure that you have masked
the areas that should not be sprayed by a good
quality masking tape. The paint or fluid to be
sprayed should be thoroughly mixed and free
from lumps or other particles. Many substances
can be sprayed with your spray gun, but always
check the manufactures recommendations
before purchasing your paint.
1. VISCOSITY MEASUREMENT
(see fig1)
Most paints are supplied ready for brush
application and will need to be thinned before
they are suitable to be sprayed. Follow the
manufacturers advice on thinning the paint
when used with a spray gun. The viscosity cup
will help you to determine the correct viscosity
of paint to be used. To determine the correct
viscosity, fill the cup to the brim with the paint.
Measure the amount of time it takes for the cup
to empty back into the can. As a rule of thumb
the viscosity should be between 15 and 30s.
The table below shows recommended times for
different types of material.
Plastic & latex 24-28
