Electrical safety

When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and personal injury. Read all these instructions before attempting to operate this product and save these instructions.

Always check that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.

Class II machine. Your machine is double insulated; therefore no earthwire is required.

Replacing cables or plugs

Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they have been replaced by new ones. It is dangerous to insert the plug of a loose cable in the wall outlet.

Using extension cables

Only use an approved extension cable suitable for the power input of the machine. The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm^2 . When using a cable reel always unwind the reel completely.

3. Operating instructions

Preparation

Fig. B

Do not use textured wall paints or coatings as this will block the nozzle.

To obtain the best results, it is important that you prepare the surface to be sprayed and thin the paint to the correct viscosity, before you operate your spray gun. Always ensure that the surfaces to be sprayed are free from dust, dirt and grease. Make sure that you have masked the areas that should not be sprayed, using a good quality

masking tape. The paint or fluid to be sprayed should be thoroughly mixed and free from lumps or other particles. Many substances can be sprayed with your spray gun, but always check the manufacturers recommendations before purchasing your paint.

Thinning

Always remember to disconnect from the mains supply before filling the paint container with sprayable material.

Most paints are supplied ready for brush application and will need to be thinned before they are suitable to be sprayed. Follow the manufacturers advice on thinning the paint when used with a spray gun. The viscosity cup will help you to determine the correct viscosity of paint to be used. To determine the correct viscosity, fill the cup to the brim with the paint. Measure the amount of time it takes for the cup to empty back into the can.

The table below shows recommended times for different types of material.

Spray material Viscosity (seconds)

Alkyd/Oil based primers from 25 to 40

Alkyd/Oil based farnish from 15 to 40

Acryl/Water based primers from 25 to 40

Acryl/Water based farnish from 20 to 35

Impregnation solvents for wood, paint removers, oils undiluted

Disinfectant, insectides undiluted

Car paint from 20 to 35

This tool is not suitable for spraying dispersions and latex paint, caustic solutions, acidic coating materials, coating materials with granules or solids as well as spray and drip-impeding materials.

Mounting the air hose.

• Insert the air hose (4) tightly in the connection on the machine.
• Insert the air hose (4) tightly in the connection on the spray gun.

Switch on/off

- Push the on/off switch (6) on the machine to switch the machine off or on.

- Press the trigger on the air gun to start spraying.

Adjusting the jet settings

Fig. F

A. Horizontal flat jet. This setting is used for horizontal surfaces
B. Vertical flat jet. This setting is used for vertical surfaces
C. Circular jet. This setting is used for corners, edges and hard to reach surfaces.

If the paint takes longer than the recommended time to empty, then further thinning is required. Mix in a small quantity of the appropriate thinner and use the viscosity test until the correct thickness is achieved. Some sprayable materials contain particles and lumps. These materials should be strained before filling the paint container.

Spraying

Fig. C

Fill the paint container with the correctly thinned and strained paint. Connect the spray gun to the mains supply. Aim the spray gun at a piece of scrap material and operate the trigger switch until paint is spraying. Adjust the output control (2) until the required volume of paint is spraying. Turn the output control in a clockwise direction (B) to reduce the flow and anti-clockwise (A) to increase the flow. Adjustment of the output control will affect the spray pattern. A poor spray pattern will concentrate the paint in the centre of the spray and give a blotchy finish. A good spray pattern will give even distribution of paint throughout the pattern.

Spraying techniques

Fig. D

To obtain the best results, keep your spray gun level and parallel to the surface at all times. Keep the nozzle 25 - 30 cm from the surface and spray evenly from side to side or up and down. Do not spray at an angle as this will lead to paint runs on the surface. Use smooth and even strokes. When spraying large areas, use a criss-cross pattern as shown.

Fig. E

Never start or stop the spray gun while it is aimed at the surface to be sprayed. Evenly control the speed of movement of the spray gun. A fast speed of movement over the surface will give a thin coat

and a slow speed will give a heavy coat. Apply one coat at a time. If a further coat is required, make sure you observe the manufacturers drying time recommendations before applying a second coat. When spraying small areas, 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. Do not tip the spray gun to more than 45^ .

4. Maintenance

Make sure that the machine is not live when carrying out maintenance work on the motor.

This machine has 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.

Troubleshooting

1. Motor hums but does not spray or irregular spraying

• Worn swirl head.
• Replace swirl head.
• Pick up pipe not in the right position.
  • Re-adjust pick up pipe.
• Blocked pick up pipe.
• Clean with thinner.
• Blocked nozzle.
• Clean nozzle.
• Blocked filter.
• Clean with thinner.
  • Control knob needs adjustment.
• Adjust.

2. Atomization is not good

• Volume adjustment is not correct.
- Adjust.
- Paint too thick.
• Check viscosity of the paint.

3. Over painting

• Too much paint.
• Adjust the volume clockwise to reduce spraying. Two thin coats are better then one thick coat.
• Viscosity too low.

- Check viscosity.

4. Motor louder than normal

• Spray gun not clean, or not lubricated, resulting in piston being stuck in cylinder.
  • Disassemble spray gun and clean with thinner.

5. No spray, no sound

- No electricity.

- Check power supply.

6. Operating sound not right

• Poor output adjustment.
- Re-adjust.
- Not enough paint in the container resulting in air being sucked in.
- Refill with paint.
- Not diluting properly or not passing pick up pipe completely.
• Check pick up pipe and viscosity level.

7. "Orange Skin" excessive fogging

• Incorrect solvent is used.
• Use correct solvent.
• Spray gun too far from the surface.
• Hold spray gun closer to the object.
- Paint too thick.
- Thin the paint.

Cleaning and maintenance

Fig. G

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 thoroughly after every use. Failure to clean will almost certainly result in blockages and the spray gun might not operate next time it is being used. The warranty does not cover malfunction due to failure to clean the spray gun properly.

The following actions must be taken after every use and if the spray gun is not going to be used for a longer period. Not taking the following actions can cause the paint to dry;

• Switch off the machine.
• Press the trigger so the paint will flow back in the container.
  • Unscrew the container and pour the paint

back in the paint box.

• Remove the paint residu from the container, using a brush or cloth.
• Pour solvent or water, depending on the type of paint used, in the container and screw it back on the spray gun. WARNING: Only use solvents with a flash point less than 55°C.
• Switch the machine on.
• Press the trigger and spray until only clean water or solvent is coming out of the nozzle.
• Switch off the machine.
• Unscrew and dry the container. Make sure also to clean and dry the surface and the seal. Make sure there is no paint residu left.
• Wipe the exterior of the spray gun with a cloth dampened with water or solvent.
• Unscrew the nut and dismantle the nozzle. Clean all part thoroughly in water or solvent. Do not use sharp metal objects for cleaning!
  • Re-assemble the spray gun.

Changing the air filter.

• Remove the cover by lifting it with a screwdriver.
• Remove the old air filter.
• Place the new filter with the smooth side towards the machine.
• Place the cover back onto the machine.

Never operate the machine without the air filter installed. Dirt could enter the machine and interfere with the function of the machine.

Lubrication

The device does not need any additional lubrication.
