Preparing for Operation
Ensure you check and follow the
below recommended steps before
using your Paint Sprayer
1. Before connecting your paint
sprayer to the mains supply,
ensure that the supply voltage is
identical with the value given on
the rating label (on the side of
the Paint sprayer).
Note:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the manufacturer
recommends the use of a residual current of 30mA or less at all times.
2. Dilute the spray material according to the viscosity table.
3. Place the paint pot on a sheet of paper and fill it with the
prepared spray material.
NOTE:
It is strongly recommended
to fill the paint pot through a fine
strainer/gauze to filter the paint.
WARNING:
Do not operate the spray
gun without spray material in the
paint pot.
4. Carefully secure the filled paint
pot to the lid on the spray gun by
turning it in an anticlockwise direction until secure.
NOTE: Ensure you undertake a test spray with the unit before
beginning your spraying task on your work piece.
Adjusting the suction tube
The suction tube positioning can be adjusted in order to optimise
the paint flow during spraying sessions.
The suction tube should be adjusted to a position that suits the
angle the spray gun will be positioned during use.
1. Suction tube in the backward position: By rotating the suction
tube into the backwards position (Fig D), the sprayer is best
used for spraying
overhead areas,
or tasks that
require the sprayer
to pointed in an
upwards direction.
2. Suction tube in the
forward position:
By rotating the suction tube into the forward position (Fig E), the
sprayer is best used for spraying low areas, or tasks that require
the sprayer to pointedin a downwards direction.
Operation
Spray Technique
Before using your paint sprayer, read the following tips for
spraying techniques:
• Cover areas that are not to be sprayed.
When working keep in mind that wind, for example, may
transport paint mist over great distances and cause damage.
• Test the spray gun on cardboard or a similar surface to find the
correct setting before you start spraying your work piece.
• When spraying, hold the spray gun in a horizontal position.
Always hold the spray gun at an even distance of approx.
5-15cm from the object to be sprayed. (ref Fig F)
• The spray movement should come from the arm, not just from
the wrist. This ensures that a uniform distance is maintained
between the spray
gun and the spray
surface during the
spray operation.
• To achieve optimal
spray results, spray
back and forth over
the surface
(refer Fig G).
Starting the Paint Sprayer
Note:
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the manufacturer
recommends the use of a residual current of 30mA or less at all times.
1. To start the paint sprayer, press the on/off switch by pushing
down on the “I”.
2. To stop the Paint Sprayer, press the on/off switch by pushing
down on the “O”.
NOTE: Before using the paint Sprayer on your work piece
make sure you undertake a test spray on a scrap piece of
material.
To Operate Spray Gun.
1. To activate the spray gun after you have turned the On/Off
switch on the Paint Sprayer, press the spray gun trigger fully.
2. To turn off the spray gun, release the trigger.
