keep the output control on a low setting. This will avoid using too much paint and
prevent overspray.
Where possible, avoid stopping and starting when spraying an object. This can lead
to too much, or not enough paint being applied.
6. MAINTENANCE
Make sure that the plug is removed from the mains when carrying out maintenance work on
the motor.
The machines have been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of
maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper machine care and
regular cleaning.
Cleaning and maintenance -
Fig. 5.
Always remember to disconnect from the mains supply before cleaning the spray
gun or paint container.
It is essential that the spray gun is cleaned and oiled thoroughly after every use.
Failure to clean and oil it will almost certainly result in blockages and it may not
operate when you next come to use it! The guarantee does not cover cleaning a
sprayer that has not been properly cleaned by the user.
The following action must be taken after every use:
1. Empty any remaining material from the container.
2. Clean the container thoroughly with the thinner that was used.
3. Pour some thinner into the container and spray through the spray gun until
only clean thinner is coming out of the nozzle.
4. Thoroughly clean the paint pick up pipe and filter with thinner.
5. Clean the basket and nozzle and remove any other debris or paint that
remains.
6. Turn the spray gun upside down and apply a few drops of light oil to the two
apertures
(Fig 6).
7. switch on the unit for a while, this will lubricate the piston and cylinder.
If your spray gun should require extra internal cleaning, it may be necessary to
disassemble it. (
Fig 5)
If so the following action should be taken:
1. Remove the plug from the mains socket.
