This spray gun can be used with products having a viscosity ranging from 25 to a maximum
of 50 seconds. Dip the viscosity cup into the material and fill up. Time how long it takes for
the viscosity cup to empty (Fig 1).
Using the above chart (or manufacturer's instructions) as a guide determine if the material
requires further thinning, if so then thin accordingly.
If the paint requires thinning, start with a 10% dilution of the paint. To do this, fill a 1litre
container with the required paint. The viscosity cup supplied with the unit holds 1/10 of a
litre, block the hole in the viscosity cup and fill up with the required thinner. Add the thinner
to the paint and stir, measure the viscosity using the recommended viscosity chart above.
If the paint requires further thinning, dilute the paint by another 5% (5% will be equal to half a viscosity cup)
with the required thinner and measure the viscosity, if the paint is not at it's recommended viscosity, repeat the
above step.
Note: Some paints are outside the ranges listed above. Please contact our helpline for further information.
The spray gun has 3 different spray patterns – Horizontal, Vertical and Round (Fig.2)
The horizontal and vertical are recommended for large surfaces. The
round spray is used for small objects or for areas - such as corners
– that are difficult to reach.
To adjust the spray pattern, loosen the Air Cap Ring (1), adjust the
position of the Air Cap (2) to obtain either a vertical, horizontal or
round pattern then re-tighten the aircap ring.
The volume of paint sprayed is easily adjustable. (Fig.3)
Completely close Fluid Adjusting Screw (14) by turning this clockwise as far as it
will go. Whilst pulling the trigger, begin turning the adjustment screw anti-clockwise
until the volume of paint you require is obtained.
If the paint spray is too wide or contains too much paint turn the Fluid Adjusting
Screw clockwise again. Once the correct spray pattern is obtained you are able to
commence spraying.
