2. PREPARATION
1 Insert the paint head into the gun body at perpendicular
angles to each other.
Note:
The spray gun should be already assembled from the
box.
Note:
Ensure the locking lever is rotated out of the way to
avoid damaging the locking lever.
1 Press the handle lock
button to allow the handle
to move.
1 Pour some paint into a
mixing container using
a filter and add a small
amount of thinners.
1 Submerge the viscosity
cup into the material to fill.
3 Time how long it takes to empty the cup. This is referred to
as DIN seconds.
It is vital to determine the viscosity of the coating material to
see if it is suitable to be used in the spray gun.
3 Rotate the locking lever
forward to secure the paint
head.
2 Rotate the paint head
clockwise into the correct
orientation.
2 Raise or lower the
transport handle until it
clicks into position.
2 Mix the paint and thinners
thoroughly.
2 Raise the cup out of the
material and start timing.
4 If the material is above 30, 60, 150 DIN-sec for the 1mm,
2mm and 2.5mm nozzle respectively, the material will need
to be thinned more and retested.

NOTE:
FOR BEST RESULTS, SURFACE PREPARATION AND PAINT
THINNING ARE THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT AREAS. ENSURE
ALL SURFACES ARE FREE OF DUST, DIRT AND GREASE.

Thinning is particularly important when spraying. Most paints
are supplied ready for brush application and need to be diluted
sufficiently for spraying purposes.
Note:
Water based paints can be thinned using water.
Follow the manufacturers guide for thinning ratios which
should be labelled on the paint container.
IMPORTANT!
THE SPRAY GUN CANNOT BE USED WITH
MATERIALS CONTAINING ABRASIVE SUBSTANCES, GLAZES,
DISPERSION PAINTS, CAUSTIC AND ALKALINE SUBSTANCES,
TEXTURED COATINGS OR TOXIC SPRAYS.
