This is a highly versatile spray kit and can be used on a variety of applications. BEFORE USE - PLEASE READ THE SAFETY & OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. Please retain for future reference N0151 07_05. qxd 16/01/2006 10:49 Page 2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING! [. . . ] (See exploded view on page 8 to show the fitting detail for the different spray applicator types. ) Unwind the hose from the Carrier Stand & screw the motor end of the hose to the outlet port at the front of the turbine unit. Connect the spray applicator end of the hose to the spray applicator using the quick release connector. Uncoil the power cord and plug it in to a suitable power outlet. 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 until the trigger on the spray applicator is gently pulled. Before starting any work on spraying actual objects we suggest you spend some time practicing on cardboard or newspaper until you have got used to how the spray applicator works. SETTING UP YOUR SPRAY APPLICATOR Choose the best Needle & Fluid Tip for your application. Your Spray Port is supplied to you with a 2. 0mm diameter Needle & Fluid Tip. This is a good size for most applications. However, there are other sets available to cater for a wider range of materials that you may want to spray. In general, the larger the diameter of the Needle & Fluid Tip, the more suitable it is for higher viscosity materials. The larger diameters also allow a greater volume of material to be applied. The smaller diameters are more suitable for low viscosity materials & lighter application. For the Spray Port type "P", Needle & Fluid Tip sets are available at 1. 0mm and 1. 5mm diameter. For the Spray Port type "A", Needle & Fluid Tip sets are available at 1. 0mm, 1. 5mm and 2. 5mm diameter.

Vertical Jet Horizontal Jet Round Jet The round spray is used for small objects or for areas - such as corners ­ that are difficult to reach. To adjust the spray pattern, loosen the Air Cap Ring (1), adjust the position of the Air Cap (2) to obtain either a vertical, horizontal or round pattern then re-tighten the aircap ring. PAINT VOLUME Fig. 5(a) shows the Air Volume Control Valve which regulates the flow of air to the gun. When the Valve is fully open you will achieve maximum coverage. To achieve this rotate `fully' anti-clockwise.
