1. To obtain the best results always keep your spray gun level and spray equally from side to side or up or down from the surface (Fig.4).
Avoid spraying at an angle as this will lead to runs on the surface (Fig.5).
2. Let your arm control the left to right movement rather than your wrist as this will aid even paint distribution over
the whole area (Fig.4).
3. Do not tip the spray gun to more than 45˚angle (Fig.6).
Paints, varnishes, wood treatments, etc, are manufactured using a variety of materials and have widely differing viscosities. You may find that the
0.08” (2.0mm) dia fluid tip and needle supplied with this spray gun does not enable you to spray your particular choice of finish exactly as you
would like. In such cases a change of fluid tip and needle size will probably solve this problem.
In general, thicker, more viscose materials are best sprayed through a larger fluid tip to give best coverage. Thinner, less viscose materials are best
sprayed through a smaller fluid tip.
To allow for these variations fluid tip and needle sets are available as optional extras in 0.04” (1.0mm) dia, 0.06” (1.5mm) dia and 0.10” (2.5mm) dia
(see page 4).
1. Evenly control the speed of movement of the spray gun. A fast speed will give a thin coat and a slow speed will give
a heavy coat.
2. Only apply one coat at a time. If a further coat is required follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions for drying times.
3. If spraying small areas or objects keep the Fluid Adjusting Screw (12) setting low as this will avoid excessive use of
paints and will minimise overspray.
4. When spraying large areas or objects, it is best to use a ‘criss-cross’ pattern, either from left to right then up or down
or vice-versa. This will ensure maximum coverage (Fig. 7).
5. Avoid stopping and starting when spraying as this can lead to too much or not enough material on a surface.
6. To ensure edges are covered, commence spraying just to the side of area being sprayed.
7. CLEAN SPRAY GUN AFTER EVERY USE (SEE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS).
THE SPRAY GUN SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY CLEANED AND THE GLAND WASHERS LUBRICATED IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH USE. IF
THE PAINT DRIES INSIDE THE GUN CLEANING WILL BE MUCH MORE DIFFICULT AND MAY RENDER THE GUN INOPERABLE. THIS IS NOT
COVERED BY THE GUARANTEE.
Flush out the residue paint from the spray gun as follows:
●
Remove the Paint Container (17) from the spray gun.
●
Pour any residual paint into its original container for future use.
●
Use a cloth soaked in thinners to wipe out excess paint from the container, the underside of the Lid (20) and the Gasket (19).
●
Pour a small quantity of clean thinners into the container, re-fit the container to the spray gun and shake the gun lightly.
●
Now spray all of the thinners through the gun.
●
Repeat this each time using clean thinners until there is no trace of paint in the thinners being sprayed.
To thoroughly clean the remainder of the spray gun, remove all working parts as per the exploded parts view on page 4 as follows:-
●
Loosen and remove Air Cap Ring (1), Air Cap (2) and Air Distributor Plate (3).
●
Now unscrew the Fluid Adjusting Screw (12) and pull out the Fluid Needle (9) and Spring (11).
●
Using the Spanner (26) supplied remove the Fluid Tip (4) and Fluid Tip Seal (5).
After cleaning your spray gun and before fitting the needle, dip the tip into some petroleum jelly which will lubricate the Gland Washers (16) as the
needle is inserted. The external surfaces of the spray gun can be wiped clean with a cloth soaked in thinners.
NEVER DISPOSE OF PAINTS OR SOLVENT INTO DRAINS. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL COUNCIL TO ARRANGE COLLECTION OR FOR
DETAILS OF NEAREST REGISTERED DISPOSAL SITE.
Gland Washers (16) prevent leakage of air pass the needle. This leakage reduces the performance of the spray gun and must, therefore, be kept to
a minimum. After a period of use the gland washers will wear. This is normal and can be compensated by gradual adjustment of the Gland Nut (15).
Periodically check to ensure the gland nut is not loose. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN as this will increase wear of the washers. When necessary just
tighten the gland nut lightly using the special Spanner (26) provided.
By tightening this gland nut, the inside diameter of gland washers reduce thereby closing any small gap that may have occurred between the needle
and gland washers, therefore eliminating leakage.

The volume of paint sprayed is easily adjustable (Fig.3). Completely close Fluid Adjusting Screw (12) by turning this clockwise as
far as it will go. Whilst pulling the trigger, begin turning the fluid adjusting screw anticlockwise until the volume of paint you require
is obtained.
If the paint spray contains too much paint turn the fluid adjusting screw clockwise to reduce it. Once you have set the spray pattern
and the paint volume, you are ready to begin spraying.
