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 using the recommended viscosity chart above. 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 it's recommended viscosity, repeat the above step. Note: Some paints are outside the ranges listed above.

DO NOT OVERFILL above MAX level indicator. Push the fluid tube firmly into the base of the spray gun body. Screw the container onto the gun body tightly. Place the motor unit onto a clean surface, free from any loose debris or liquids. Connect the hose to the back of the spray gun. 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 gun 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 gun works. An airtight seal is essential for the correct operation of this gun. Before operating the unit please ensure that the container is securely fixed to the gun body and the gland nut (9) is not loose. Over time the gland seal (10) will wear and need adjusting. To check the gland nut is correctly fitted you will need a small adjustable spanner. Pull the trigger back and gradually tighten the gland nut by turning it in a clockwise direction until the needle is not free to move when the trigger is released. To obtain the optimum setting gradually unscrew the nut by turning it in an anti-clockwise direction until the needle moves forward into the fluid tip (4). [. . . ] If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by Earlex Ltd or our appointed agents. 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. [. . . ]
