Intended Use
• Spray gun, powered by compressed air from a compressor, for spraying
of undercoating and other heavy paints and coating materials
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
Fitting the quick connector
Note: This tool is supplied with two different male airline quick connectors:
EQ-4 – commonly used in Europe
EN-6 – mainly used in the UK
EQ-4
Europe
• Please choose the connector that is compatible with the airline system
you are using, and install as outlined below:
1. Apply PTFE tape (not included) to the screw threads of the Quick
Connector (1). This will help to maintain an air tight seal
Note: Apply PTFE tape tightly and in a clockwise direction, so it does not
come off when the thread is screwed into the tool.
2. Remove the protective plug from the air inlet
3. Using a spanner (not included) screw the quick connector into the air
inlet located at the base of the handle
4. Connect to airline, pressurise carefully and carry out a leak check (e.g.
by spraying small amounts of soapy water on to the outside of the
connectors)
• Air lines fitted with matching female quick connectors will now be a push
fit to the tool
Fitting the paint container
• Fit the Paint Container (8) by screwing it to the Fluid Connector (4) of the
spray gun. Tighten by hand

Air line
• This tool should be connected to a clean, dry air supply with water
separator and filter
WARNING: Under no circumstances can the spray gun be used in a
compressed air system with integrated oiler.
Note: Achieving a fine spray finish without the use of a high quality
separator filter is virtually impossible.
• Do not allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated (see
'Specifications')
• Ensure that water is drained from air system daily
• Ensure that all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc.) are correctly
rated for the air pressure to be used
• Do not use non-conductive tubing to help prevent build-up of
electrostatic charge
Setting the air pressure
• Spray pressure must be set properly to allow for the drop in air pressure
between the regulator and the spray gun
• Use recommended hose diameter to minimise pressure drop and adjust
supply air pressure according to 'Specifications'
IMPORTANT: To reduce overspray and in order to obtain maximum
efficiency, always spray with the lowest possible air pressure.
Filling the paint container
1. Ensure the spray gun is disconnected from the air supply
2. Open the Lid with Bayonet Closure (7)
3. Inspect the seal inside the lid for wear and damage
4. Fill the paint container to the required level
5. Re-fit the lid of the paint container. Close tightly by hand
Operation
• Keep the distance of the spray gun approximately 200-250mm away
from the workpiece
• Hold the gun square to the surface
• Do not operate in an arc motion. Arcing will lead to an uneven finish
On/off trigger
• To start spraying, press the Trigger (2)
• Release the trigger to stop spraying
• Adjusting the spray pattern
1. Loosen the Knurled Locking Nut (5) and move the Nozzle (6) in or
outward of the spray gun body
2. Test-spray on a piece of cardboard or other scrap material
3. Re-tighten the locking nut when desired spray result has been
achieved
Spray painting tips
• To achieve a smooth, even coat, the material must be prepared and
thinned in accordance to the manufacturer's guidelines
