Pilot Power Electric Spray Guns are innovatively designed to
finely atomize all sprayable materials. A high speed piston
pump in the Pilot Power Electric Spray Gun draws up the fluid
and atomizes it solely by hydrostatic pressure. After passing
through a swirl-and-nozzle system
the fluid is then finely atomized and
delivered onto the surface to be
sprayed in the form of a cone.

Do's and don't's
1.Spray vertical surfaces with a thin coat and then apply a second
coat to prevent paint runs.
2.Spray away from you on horizontal surfaces so that the paint
contacts the surface at an angle of about 45 degrees. Any
overspray will then be covered up by the next stroke.
3.Do not apply too thick a coat in one pass or the paint may run.
For best results, spray a thin coat first and allow it to dry, then
apply a second coat.
4.Mask off parts which are not to be sprayed
with cardboard, masking tape, paper etc.
Window frames can be effectively shielded
with damp newspaper.
5.Ensure that paint is properly thinned.
6.The high-pressure produced from the spray
gun might lead to injuries. Therefore do not point gun at yourself
or in the direction of other people.

1.The spraying of abrasive materials (lime, coarsely ground
whitewash, cement solution dispersions, red lead, glazes, abrasive
solutions, sandblastings, latex paints) is not covered by our
Guarantee.
2.Emulsion and latex paints are produced and sold in different grades.
Ask for high grade pigmented emulsions or latex paints of AIRLESSquality.
3.Moderately corrosive liquids (stain removers, insecticides, water
aqueous solutions) can readily be sprayed from the Pilot Power
Electric Spray guns.
4.Clean paint is essential to trouble-free service, and ensures a mirrorsmooth finish. If you are in doubt about the condition of the paint, filter
it through a fine mesh strainer.

S p r a y a b i l i ty
Generally, the spraying material is supplied with too high viscosity
(consistency = viscosity) and, thereof, has to be thinned up for
spraying. Most of the paints cannot be primed and sprayed from bulk
containers and, moreover, you achieve an unsatisfactory spray
pattern. In addition to this, paint consumption is too high. The thinning
up has to be arranged according to the instructions given by the paintmanufacturer. These are no general guidelines since various types of
paints and makes are available having a different dilution degree. In
very specific cases the dilution degree has to be inquired with the paint
manufacturer

0.3 mm - for oils, washes
0.4 mm / 0.5 mm - for thin-flowing enamels
0.6 mm / 0.7 mm - for primers, base-coats, thick-flowing
enamels.
0.8 mm - general purpose tips
1.0 mm / 1.2 mm - water-thinned paint

H o w t o u s e
When spraying, keep spray gun in horizontal position or
hold spray gun level with the nozzle pointing slightly
downwards or slightly upwards.
"Crosswise spraying" is the best way of covering a flat
surface, using a round jet nozzle. Its important to
start off outside the area to be covered and avoid
any break during spraying. Move the gun with a
steady motion. Slowing down or speeding up will
cause irregular spray pattern, spots, runs,
irregular finish, ripple effects, etc. Never move
the spray gun by flexing your wrist. Instead,
swing your whole
arm to maintain
uniform spacing
between spray
gun and surface.
C a u t i o n
!
Pilot Power Electric Spray guns should be used only for spraying
paints and solvents having a flame point of 21oC/70oF or above and
used without additional heating.
!
Never use in premises subject to regulations on explosive hazards
!
Wherever possible, spraying should be done in the open.
!
When spraying in enclosed premises, provide adequate ventilation.
Keep all open flames out of the spraying areas and do not smoke to
avoid explosive hazards.
!
As the spraying medium is expelled from the tip at high pressure,
never touch the nozzle while spraying. Do not direct the gun against
yourself or any other person.
!
Always disconnect the plug from the socket before carrying out any
work on the gun.
!
Paint strippers and alkalies may cause corrosion damage and must
not be sprayed from the gun.

The adjoining illustration (8) shows how to
operate the delivery control knob.
Turn clockwise to set a narrow jet and low
output.
Turn counterclockwise to set a full jet and
high output.
Important: Altering the jet also means
changing the distance to the sprayed
surface (fig. 9).
Broad Jet = about 23-35 cm (10-14 in)
distance
Narrow Jet = about 15-25 cm (6-10 in)
distance

!
Thin paint according to instructions given earlier of this manual.
!
Pour paint into container and screw it on to the spray gun.
!
Point at surface to be painted.
N o t e :
If the appliance only gives-off a low hum please stop it immediately to
prevent the drive from burning out.
Dismantle the pump and immerse all the parts in a suitable thinner.
After a few minutes of soaking clean the parts by means of a brush until
the last traces of encrusted paint have been removed.

1. Only use suitable thinners for
cleaning the spray gun.
2. After having used the spray gun :
a) Clean thoroughly the gun with
appropriate thinner
b) Clean paint container with
thinner
c) Clean nozzle, suction tube
and filter by means of a fine
brush, then blow through filter
with air.
3. A ft e r s p r a yi ng a q u e an s
solutions flush the gun by
spraying clean water followed
by a machine oil to prevent
errosion.
4. W hen spra yin g oil base d
materials, flush or clean with a
compatible material or solvent,
and then follow with a light type
spindle or machine oil.
5. Spray through spray gun with a
machine oil before the gun is
stored away.
6. Always keep the Vent hole in
pump housing open.
F u n c t i o n a l d is tu rb an ce s
The valve (Pos. 3) is to be regarded as the part most subject to wear
and tear.
If the gun does not prime though the drive works normally please check
the valve cone for possible wear. The valve is easily replaceable.
I m p o r t a n t :
In the case of a clogged nozzle or a soiled valve it is normally not
necessary to dismantle the complete pump. Only unscrew the nozzle
(Pos. 1) and thoroughly clean it together with the valve (Pos. 3).
Minor repairs can be carried out by yourself. When ordering spares
please quote the correct reference numbers as given in the spare parts
list at the end of this manual.
For larger repairs, i.e. if electric components are concerned, ask your
local distributor.
