OPERATION
Fill the paint container with the material to be sprayed. DO NOT FILL above MAX level indicator. Push the fluid
tube firmly into the base of the spray gun body. Screw the container onto the gun body tightly.
Place the motor unit onto a clean surface, free from any loose debris or liquids. Connect the hose to the back
of the spray gun. Uncoil the mains cable and plug in.
ALWAYS KEEP THE MOTOR UNIT AS FAR AWAY FROM THE SPRAYING AREA AS POSSIBLE TO
PREVENT PAINT CONTAMINATING THE MOTOR.
MASK ANY AREA YOU DO NOT WISH TO SPRAY.
Once you have set up ready to spray, switch on the unit. No paint will be sprayed until the Trigger (7) on the
spray gun is gently pulled. Before starting any work on spraying actual objects we suggest you spend some
time practicing on cardboard or newspaper until you have got used to how the spray gun works
SPRAY PATTERNS
The spray gun has 3 different spray patterns – Horizontal, Vertical and Round (Fig.2)
The horizontal and vertical patterns are recommended for large surfaces. The round spray pattern is used for
small objects or for areas - such as corners – that are difficult to
reach. To adjust the spray pattern, loosen the Air Cap Ring (1),
adjust the position of the Air Cap (2) to obtain either a vertical,
horizontal or round pattern then re-tighten the Air Cap Ring (1).
PAINT VOLUME
The volume of paint sprayed is easily adjustable (Fig.3).
Completely close Fluid Adjusting Screw (10) by turning clockwise as far as it will
go. Whilst pulling the Trigger (7), begin turning the Fluid Adjusting Screw (10) anti-
clockwise until the volume of paint you require is obtained.
If the paint spray is too wide or contains too much paint turn the Fluid Adjusting
Screw (10) clockwise again. Once the correct spray pattern is obtained you are
able to commence spraying.
SPRAYING TECHNIQUE
1. To obtain the best results always keep your spray gun level and at an equal
distance from the object you are spraying, ideally 25-30cm (10”-12”) (side to side or up or down) from the
surface. Avoid spraying at an angle as this will lead to runs on the surface (Fig.4a-4c).
2. Let your arm control the left to right movement rather than your wrist as this will help to give you an even
paint distribution over the whole area.
3. Do not tip the spray gun to more than a 45
o
angle when the motor is switched off.
4. You can tip the spray gun at more of an angle when spraying ceilings and decking etc, providing that the
motor is switched ON. For spraying at angles, please change the
direction of the Paint Feed Tube (13) to the opposite angle that you
are spraying, where there is more paint in the container.

●
An airtight seal is essential for the correct operation of this gun.
●
Before operating the unit please ensure that the container is securely fixed to the gun body and the Gland
Nut (11) is not loose.
●
Over time the Gland Seal (12) will wear and need adjusting. To check the gland nut is correctly fitted you
will need a small adjustable spanner. Pull the Trigger (7) back and gradually tighten the gland nut by
turning clockwise until the needle is not free to move when the Trigger (7) is released.
●
To obtain the optimum setting gradually unscrew the Gland Nut (11) by turning anti-clockwise
until the needle moves forward into the Fluid Tip (4). To check your settings are correct spray a
container of water. Re-adjust if necessary.
