ABOUT THE SPRAY GUN
The Spray Gun is a highly versatile electric airless spray gun. It can be used to spray many different
materials including varnishes, wood preservatives, enamel paints, oil based paints & water based
paints.
Airless spraying reduces the mist associated with air spraying & reduces paint loss.
The spray gun can be used for a variety of applications including, fences, sheds, boats, furniture,
radiators, models & louvre doors.
IMPORTANT - SELECTING THE PAINT
Many paints & other materials can be sprayed but some cannot. Always check the manufacturer’s
recommendations before using products with your spray gun.
THE SPRAY GUN MUST NOT BE USED FOR SPRAYING EXTERIOR TEXTURED WALL PAINTS
OR TEXTURED COATINGS. USING THESE MATERIALS WILL CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR ON
THE PISTON & WILL INVALIDATE YOUR GUARANTEE.
PREPARING THE PAINT (OR OTHER SPRAY MEDIUM)
It is most important to follow the paint manufacturer’s recommendations for thinning. Most paints are
supplied ready for brush application & must be diluted for use with the spray gun. If you are in any
doubt about how much to thin the paint, consult the paint manufacturer.
The viscosity cup supplied with your spray gun & the viscosity guide below, can be used to help you
determine the correct thickness of the paint.
The paint, or paint & thinners mixture, must be thoroughly stirred. We do not recommend the use of an
electric stirrer as this can increase the volume of air in the paint, which will reduce the effectiveness of
the spray gun.
