1. SaFety
9 Familiarise yourself with the application, limitations and potential hazards peculiar to the spray gun.
WARNING! disconnect the spray gun from the air supply before changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.
8 Paint cup remains pressurised after gun is disconnected from air line. dO nOt pull the trigger, but de-pressurise by gently opening cup.
9 Maintain the spray gun in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
9 Replace or repair damaged parts. Use authorised parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
9 Keep the spray gun clean for best and safest performance.
9 ensure that the compressed air system can supply the spray gun air consumption for the model to be used.
9 Wear approved safety respiratory protection and safety eye goggles.
9 If spraying isocyanate based finisher, wear approved respirator/clean air breathing apparatus and cover exposed skin with latex gloves
and an impervious hooded coverall.
9 Remove ill-fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and tie back long hair.
9 locate the spray gun in a suitable work area. Keep area clean and tidy and free from unrelated materials and ensure that there is
adequate ventilation and lighting.
9 Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the work area.
9 When not in use, ensure that the air supply is turned off.
9 Avoid unintentional operation of spray gun.
9 The spray gun has been treated with an anti-corrosive agent at the factory and MUST be flushed out thoroughly with thinner before use.
8 dO nOt point spray gun at yourself, other persons or animals.
8 dO nOt direct air from the air hose at yourself, other persons or animals.
8 dO nOt carry the spray gun by the hose, or yank the hose from the air supply.
8 dO nOt exceed the working pressure of 50psi (3bar).
8 dO nOt use the spray gun for any purpose other than that for which it is designed.
8 dO nOt allow untrained persons to operate the spray gun.
8 dO nOt get the spray gun wet or use in damp or wet locations or in areas where there is
condensation.
8 dO nOt operate the spray gun if any parts are missing or damaged as this may cause
failure and/or personal injury.
9 When not in use, disconnect the spray gun from the air supply, clean thoroughly and store
safely.
2. intrOductiOn
Ideal for applying undercoats, primers and adhesives. Features adjustable paint ow, fan width and
air regulator controls. Supplied with composite gravity feed pot. Suitable for use with water based
paints. Alternative set-ups available separately.
3. SpeciFicatiOn
Standard Set Up: ........................................................2.0mm
Available Set-Up(s): ...................................... 1.2, 1.4, 1.8mm
Recommended Air Pressure: ........................................ 50psi
Air Consumption: ......................................................7-14cfm
4. air Supply cOnnectiOn
4.1. air Supply
4.1.1. Ensure spray gun air valve (or trigger) is in the “o” position before connecting to the air supply.
4.1.2. You will require an air pressure of 50psi and an air ow according to specication.
WarninG! ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 50psi while operating the spray gun. Too high an air pressure and
unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
4.1.3. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will ruin the paint nish and damage the spray gun.
4.1.4. Clean air inlet lter weekly. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in g.1.
4.1.5. line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose diameter should
be 1/4” I.D. and ttings must have the same inside dimensions.

4.1.6. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear and make certain that all connections are secure.
4.2. couplings.
4.2.1. do not t a quick change coupling directly to the spray gun. A leader hose should be tted to the spray gun and then a quick
change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose. See g.1 & 2.

g.2
5. OperatiOn
5.1. For best results, make sure to handle the gun correctly. It should be held perpendicular to the surface being sprayed and moved
parallel to it. Start the stroke before squeezing the trigger and release the trigger before nishing the stroke. This will enable you to
accurately control the gun and material (g.3).
5.2. Spray from a distance of about 150mm (6”) to 250mm (10”) depending on the material and the atomizing pressure. The material
deposited should always be even and wet. Each stroke must overlap the preceding stroke to obtain a uniform nish. To reduce over
spray and obtain maximum eciency, spray with the lowest possible atomizing air pressure.
5.3. Controlling the fan spray and the uid.
A) The atomizing air ow is controlled by knob (g.4.1).
b) Use the needle adjustment knob (g.4.2) to increase or decrease the amount of paint ow.
C) The width of the spray can be adjusted using knob (g.4.3).
d) As width of spray is increased more material must pass through the gun to obtain the same coverage on the increased area.
e) Turn the air nozzle (g.4.4) to achieve a horizontal or vertical fan spray. Lock the nozzle with retaining ring (g.4.5).
The spray pattern of the gun is variable from round to at with all patterns in between. In normal operation, the wings on the nozzle
are horizontal as g.4, this provides a vertical fan-shaped pattern which gives maximum uniform and even coverage when moving
the gun back and forth, parallel to the work surface (g.5).

disconnect from the air supply before attempting any cleaning or maintenance.
6.3.1. Immerse the front end of the gun only in solvent. The solvent should just cover the uid connection.
6.3.2. Use a bristle brush and solvent to wash o accumulated paint.
6.3.3. do not immerse the entire gun in solvent as this will cause lubricants on the rubber seals to dissolve. dirty solvent may also clog
narrow passages in the gun.
6.3.4. Flush the gun through with clean thinners.
6.3.5. Wipe the outside of the gun with a dampened solvent rag.
6.3.6. Air nozzle, uid nozzle and needle assembly
6.3.7. To clean the nozzles, soak them in solvent to dissolve any dried material then blow them clean with air. Handle all nozzles carefully
and do not make any alterations in the gun.
6.3.8. If you need to probe the holes in the nozzles, be sure to use a tool that is softer than brass; do not use metal instruments.
