SAFETY PRECAUTIONSSPARE PARTS

Before using your airline accessory kit it is in your own interest to read and pay
attention to the following safety rules :

• COMPRESSED AIR IS DANGEROUS - Never direct a jet of air at people or animals.

• ALWAYS ensure that the equipment/tool being used has a safe working pressure

exceeding the output pressure of the compressor that it is connected to.

• ALWAYS ensure that the air supply is turned off at the machine outlet and

expel all pressurised air from within the air hose and the equipment attached
to it, BEFORE disconnecting air hoses or other equipment from your compressor.

• If you are paint spraying :

a. NEVER spray close to any source of heat or flame.

b. ALWAYS ensure the spraying area has adequate fresh air ventilation.

• We strongly recommend that items contained in this kit be used in conjunction

with appropriate eye and face protecting goggles, glasses or spray masks
available from most DIY and Hardware Stores.

GENERAL GUIDANCE NOTES - Please Read Before Use

1.SPRAY GUN (Kit 1000 only)

This professional type syphon spray gun is suitable for use with most conventional
paints. (See the ‘Helpful hints on spraying’ pamphlet, supplied with Clarke Air
Compressors, for guidance on how to use this and similar spray guns).

This gun can be operated by tank mounted air compressors with motor power of

1.5hp and above.

Taking ALL relevant precautions (see your compressor handbook), attach the gun
to the air delivery hose.

The Spray Gun is fed with paint by a siphon (or suction) effect from the paint
cannister. The air flow through the air cap draws paint up the feed tube, into the
nozzle assembly, where it is atomised and sprayed forward.

Mix the paint to the correct viscosity for spraying
according to the manufacturers instructions,
and strain it into the paint cannister through a
fine mesh filter. When mixing the paint, make
sure that you have enough thinners left to clean
the spray gun after use.

Do not fill the paint cannister to more than 3/4
full - i.e. no more than 600cc. Make sure that
the top edge of the cannister and the sealing
gasket are clean and free from damage before
mounting the cannister on the gun.

Set the spray pattern and fluid flow using the
adjustment screws on the spray gun.

The spray pattern is variable between round
and fan by adjusting the air flow through the
air cap. Turn the spray pattern adjusting screw
‘B’, Fig.1, anticlockwise to increase flow and
give a fan shaped spray pattern. Turning
clockwise to close off the air flow will give a
circular pattern.

Set the fluid flow according to the paint in use and the spray pattern by using the
fluid flow adjustment screw (‘A’. Fig.1), anticlockwise to increase flow, clockwise
to reduce flow. As the width of the spray is increased, fluid flow will also need to
be increased.

The air pressure needed will vary according to the paint in use, with thicker paints
needing greater pressure. For most paints, a pressure of between 0.75 and 2.5 bar
(approximately 20-50 psi) is adequate.

To reduce overspray and to obtain maximum transfer efficiency, always use the
lowest possible air inlet pressure that produces an acceptable spray pattern.

2.PARAFFIN GUN

This special gun is
suitable for spraying a
wide range of
cleaning agents e.g.

paraffin, gunk etc., for cleaning engines,
components, oil spots on driveway etc. Preservatives
such as creosote can be sprayed onto fences and
sheds.

This gun can also be used for spraying plants, trees,
shrubs etc., with insecticide.

The nozzle is adjustable to give a coarse or fine spray,
by adjusting the nozzle arrowed in Fig.2. Undo the
locking ring, adjust the nozzle by screwing in or out, then lock in place by screwing
up the locking ring once again.

3.TYRE INFLATOR

This handy, lightweight pistol grip inflator
complete with air pressure gauge is suitable
for inflating tyres on motor vehicles, cycles,
trailers etc.
Pull trigger to inflate, or press button on side of
pistol to deflate. Always check that tyre valve
is clean before inflation.

NOTE: A good spray pattern is achieved when there is an even amount of material in
a fine spray throughout the pattern.

A poor spray will concentrate the paint in the centre of the spray and produce a
blotchy finish

To determine the correct spray pattern and volume for your particular application,
proceed as follows:

1. Turn the Spray Pattern Adjuster fully anticlockwise .

2. Pull the trigger to test the pattern, aiming at a piece of card/newspaper etc.

3. Continue pressing the trigger whilst turning the Adjuster clockwise until the
pattern is correct.

NOTE: If you have carried out the above procedure and the spray pattern is still not satisfactory,
then it is likely that the paint requires further thinning. Additionally...ALWAYS check to ensure
the breather hole, in the paint container lid, is clear. NEVER allow to become blocked

4.BLOW GUN

This simple to operate trigger action blow gun can be
used to blow away dust and wood shavings as well as
metal filings and swarf.

Take great care when using this appliance...DO NOT
use high air pressures when cleaning dust from electrical
or electronic components.

5.AIR HOSE (KIT 1000 ONLY)

The recoil hose included in this kit is fitted with connectors for use with other items
in this kit.
