Ensure that any vapours have dispersed before switching on the spray gun.
8
Tightly recap all containers immediately after thinning or mixing paint, and store away from the spraying area.
8
DO NOT
spray near any sources of ignition such as an open fire, cigarettes, cigars or pipes, sparks, glowing wires or hot surfaces
or naked lighting.
8
Ensure that the air hose is firmly connected to the unit and the gun to avoid the possibility of any spilt material being drawn into the

4. PAINT PREPARATION
4.1.
CHECKING PAINT VISCOSITY Refer to fig.1
4.1.1.
As most paints are made for brush or roller, it will normally be necessary to thin the paint to achieve proper atomisation and good
coverage.
4.1.2.
Use the viscosity cup provided to check the viscosity of the material prior to thinning.
4.1.3.
Stir the paint thoroughly.
4.1.4.
Dip the cup (capacity 10cm³) completely into the coating material, below its rim level and allow it to fill.
4.1.5.
Lift the viscosity measuring cup and measure the time in seconds elapsed until the cup is empty. This run out time is called
DIN seconds (DIN-s)
.
4.1.6.
Use the viscosity table below to dilute the material to be sprayed. Refer to the coating manufacturer’s information for details and
suitability for spraying.
4.2.
PAINT CONDITION
4.2.1.
Any debris in the paint will clog the spray gun, which will then require a complete strip down and clean, before the spray gun will
function again properly. This is particularly important when using paint that has previously been opened.
The paint should be thoroughly mixed and free from any lumps. If necessary, strain the paint through a 60 mesh paint strainer,
to ensure a smooth finish. The paint should be strained into a clean container and if any paint is left over, it should be stored in
a clean container.
