Intended Use

• Electric spray gun for the application of water, solvent and enamel-based paints,
varnishes, stains and wood sealers of compatible viscosity and composition

Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its
features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts
are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use
this tool

Before Use

DO NOT use textured wall paints or coatings as this will block the nozzle.
Paint preparation
Before use, paint must be prepared to the proper viscosity
• Stir the paint thoroughly before checking viscosity
• Dip the Viscosity Cup (10) into the paint and lift out. Measure the time taken for
the Viscosity Cup to drain fully
Refer to the table below for proper draining times. If the paint drains too slowly, it
requires thinning.

No thinning required
WARNING: This product can accept liquids up to a maximum of 60DIN/s viscosity.
If the liquid takes longer than 60 seconds to drain from the Viscosity Cup then it
must be thinned.
Filling the spray gun
WARNING: Ensure that the spray gun is disconnected from the mains power
supply before filling.
Note: Only mix a small quantity of paint at a time, and always recheck viscosity
before refilling spray gun.
1. To remove the Fluid Container (4), rotate anticlockwise and pull away from
the body of the spray gun
2. Pour the paint or stain (of correct viscosity) into the Fluid Container, and
carefully re-attach to body of spray gun
Adjustment
Note: It is highly recommended that some practice is carried out on a scrap
material to determine the optimum spray gun settings before use
• The Regulator Dial (2) controls the rate at which the fluid is sprayed
Note: Correct Regulator Dial setting, spraying distance, and speed of movement
are crucial to achieving a good quality finish
Operation
Note: The surface to be sprayed must always be properly cleaned and dried before
starting work. Areas that you wish to keep clean should be masked off.
1. To start spraying, squeeze the Trigger Switch (3)
2. To stop spraying, release the Trigger Switch
• Always hold the gun level, and at 90˚ to the work surface. The correct spraying
distance will depend on the setting of the Regulator Dial (2)
• Vertical and horizontal spraying should be parallel to the surface (Fig. II & III)
• The most effective way to spray vertical surfaces is to use an overlapping
zigzag pattern (Fig. IV). To even out application, recover vertical zigzags with
horizontal zigzags
• If you wish to spray non-vertical surfaces, attach the angled Nozzle Extension
(11) supplied. This will allow you to hold the spray gun level as you spray
• Apply paint or stain in thin coats. Allow time to dry between coats
Note: Clean the spray gun thoroughly as soon as you have finished spraying even
between applying multiple layers on surfaces if the surface needs drying time
and the sprayer is not actively used in that time. Follow the cleaning advice of the
manufacturer of the liquid being sprayed. Higher viscosity liquids may require more
frequent cleaning. It is critical that the spray gun is regularly cleaned to maintain it
in a good working condition.
