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 ll 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Immediately throw away old cables or plugs when they have been replaced by new ones.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 mm2. 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 prayed 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 ou to determine the correct viscosity of paint to be used. To determine the correct viscosity, fill the cup o 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.

Plastic & latex paint 24 – 28 seconds
Water based paint 20 – 25 seconds
Primers 24 – 28 seconds
Varnishes 20 – 25 seconds
Oil based paints 18 – 22 seconds
Enamel paints 18 – 22 seconds
Aluminium paints 22 – 25 seconds
Car undersealing 25 – 35 seconds
Wood sealers 28 – 35 seconds
Wood preservatives No thinning required
Wood stains No thinning required

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
reas, 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 oo much, or not enough paint being applied. Do not tip the spray gun to more than 45°.

Fitting and using the flexible nozzle

Fig. F

The flexible nozzle extension should be used to spray flat or horizontal surfaces. It should also be used in areas with limited access. To fit the flexible nozzle, unscrew the basket nozzle and attach the flexible nozzle in it‘s place. Replace the basket nozzle on the end of the flexible nozzle and tighten.

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

3. Over painting

• Spray gun not clean, or not lubricated, resulting in piston being stuck in cylinder.
• Disassemble spray gun and clean with thinner.
• 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 it will lmost certainly result in blockages and it may not operate when you next come to use it! The guarantee does not cover cleaning a sprayer that has not been properly cleaned by the user. The following action must be taken after every use:

• Empty any remaining material from the container.
• Clean the container thoroughly with the thinner thatwas used.
• Pour some thinner into the container and spray through the spray gun until only clean thinner is coming out of the nozzle.
• Thoroughly clean the paint pick up pipe and filter with thinner.
•  Clean the basket and nozzle and remove any other debris or paint that remains.
• Turn the spray gun upside down and apply a few drops of light oil to the two apertures (F).
  This will lubricate the piston and cylinder.

If your spray gun should require extra internal cleaning, it may be necessary to disassemble it. If so the following action should be taken:

• Remove the plug from the mains socket.
• Remove paint container, pick up pipe and filter.
•  Take off the pump assembly.
• Release the nozzle (H), valve (J), piston (K) and spring (L).
• Clean the cylinder (M) and all parts thoroughly with solvent.
• Apply a few drops of light lubricating oil to the piston, spring and cylinder.
• Reassemble the spray gun.
