[. . . ] 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. 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 its recommended viscosity, repeat the above step. 12 1 2 3 · Fill the Paint Container (12) with the product to be sprayed. Stir well (as mentioned previously) and strain to remove any bits which will interfere with a smooth consistent spray. Fig. 5 · Make sure the Paint Container Seal (10) and Pick-up Tube (11) are firmly fitted into the base of the Spray Gun. · Screw the Paint Container (12) to the base of the Spray Gun and tighten accordingly. · Start with the Paint Flow Adjuster (9) at its minimum setting so the Trigger can not be pulled. Do not forget that the Paint Flow Adjuster controls the quantity of paint sprayed (Fig. 4). · Uncoil the air Hose and attach it to the back of the Spray Gun and the other end to the Spray Station. · Uncoil the power cable and attach the plug to the mains supply. This will immediately cause some air to be produced, which is quite NORMAL. However, none of the product will be sprayed until the Spray Gun Trigger is pulled. · Very important: when spraying for the first time, we recommend that you always leave the motor unit to run for 1 to 2 minutes before applying the product. Do not forget that the Paint Flow Adjuster controls the quantity of paint sprayed (Fig. 5). ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE MOTOR UNIT IS ON A RIGID SURFACE AND FREE FROM DUST. SET UP SPRAYING Fig. 6 3 Spray Patterns Round Spray Round for small and precise jobs Fig. 7 Horizontal and Vertical Spray with varying widths Vertical and Horizontal for normal sized jobs HORIZONTAL ROUND VERTICAL 4 V0082 09-09 A4 Multi:Layout 1 12/10/09 10:28 Page 5 The most commonly used technique for painting a large surface is the `crisscross' technique, i. e. you apply the product in a horizontal strips and then cross over these strips by applying the product in a vertical strips (Fig. 6). 2) When you get to the end of the line, release the Trigger for a moment and then apply the product in the opposite direction just beneath the line you have sprayed. 1) To achieve a horizontal strip adjust the Spray Direction Plate to the vertical position then pull the Trigger and move your arm across to the right. 3) Next, to achieve a vertical strip adjust the Spray Direction Plate to the horizontal position then pull the Trigger and move your arm up and down over the horizontal strips you just have sprayed. Fig. 7 Through gradual movement of the Spray Direction Plate (4) between Horizontal, Vertical and Round spray pattern you can vary the width of the pattern (Fig. 6) HINT: To obtain the best results always keep your Spray Gun level and at an equal distance from the object you are spraying, ideally 25-30cm (10"-12") (Fig. 8/9). Let your arm control the movement rather than your wrist (Fig. 8/9). This will help give you an even paint distribution. [. . . ] The filter can be found in the base of the motor unit.
