[. . . ] Take the spray gun unit and with the clamp lever (22) turned fully anti-clockwise, locate the spray gun unit into the paint container. Rotate the container until the 2 pins locate into the recesses in the yoke (23). Now turn the clamp lever clockwise to secure the container to the lid. Place the motor unit onto a clean floor space, free from any loose debris, liquids or dust sheets that could block the motor inlet. Unwind the hose from the main housing and connect to the back of the gun. Uncoil the mains cable from the base of the unit and plug in. ALWAYS KEEP THE MOTOR UNIT AS FAR AWAY FROM THE SPRAYING AREA AS POSSIBLE TO PREVENT PAINT CONTAMINATING THE MOTOR. Once you have set up ready to spray, switch on the unit. No paint will be sprayed from the gun until the trigger on the spray gun is pulled. Before starting any work on spraying actual objects we suggest you spend a small amount of time practicing on cardboard or newspaper until you have got used to how the gun works. OPERATION SPRAY PATTERNS The gun has 3 different spray patterns ­ Horizontal, Vertical and Round (Fig. 2). The horizontal and vertical are recommended for large surfaces. The round spray is used for small objects or for areas - such as corners ­ that are difficult to reach. Fig. 2 To change the spray pattern simply rotate the Air Cap (2) until it clicks into the positions as shown in (Fig 2). The overall size of the selected spray pattern can be varied by turning the Air Cap Ring (1). When viewed from the front, rotate Horizontal Jet Round Jet it clockwise to increase the pattern size, or anti-clockwise to Vertical Jet reduce the pattern size. The volume of paint sprayed is easily adjustable (Fig. 3). Completely close adjustment screw (12) by turning this clockwise as far as it will go. Whilst pulling the trigger, begin turning the adjustment screw anti-clockwise until the volume of paint you require is obtained. If the paint spray contains too much paint turn the adjustment screw clockwise to reduce it. Once you have set the spray pattern & the paint volume, you are ready to begin spraying. Fig. 3 PAINT VOLUME 1. To obtain the best results always keep your spray gun level and spray equally from side to side or up or down from the surface. Avoid spraying at an angle as this will lead to runs on the surface (Fig. 4). Let your arm control the left to right movement rather than your wrist as this will aid even paint distribution over the whole area (Fig. 5). [. . . ] Your unit has been supplied with a mains lead with a fitted plug. This is identified by the fuse holder in the base of the plug. Please read the following safety instructions before use. If the fitted plug is cut off from the mains lead then the plug must be disposed of safely. [. . . ]
