User manual EARLEX SPRAY SYSTEM HV 1900

[. . . ] To check your settings are correct spray a container of water. Re-adjust if necessary. NEVER under any circumstances aim the nozzle at another person or animal. In the event of injury occurring seek expert medical advice immediately. G The spray gun must only be used with paints and solvents that have a suitable flash point for spraying. [. . . ] Viscosity is a technical term used to indicate if a product is very thin or very thick. If thin, the viscosity is said to be low, while if very thick the viscosity is said to be high. In order to spray some materials they need to be "thinned" (diluted). Thinning is very important when spraying. Most paints are supplied ready for brush application and may need to be thinned (diluted) for spraying purposes. Follow the manufacturers guide for thinning in conjunction with a spray gun. If in doubt please contact the manufacturers of the paint. The viscosity cup supplied will help you determine the correct thickness of the paint. Paint is "thinned" by adding the substance which the paint is based upon. If a water based paint then water is added, if oil based then white spirit, if cellulose then a cellulose thinner is added. As some paints, wood preservatives and other sprayable materials contain particles that have differing qualities, please ensure that when filling the paint container of the spray gun, that the paint is filtered through either a funnel with a filter on it or through nylon tights or stockings. This will ensure that no large particles enter the paint container, so preventing blockages and providing you with trouble free spraying. Ensure that a face mask, gloves and goggles are worn at all times when spraying. IDEAL VISCOSITY Water based paints and emulsions Oil based paints Wood preservatives Primers 45 - 60 seconds 45 - 50 seconds No dilution 45 - 50 seconds Varnishes Aluminium paints Wood stains Cellulose No dilution No dilution No dilution Manufacturers ratio This spray gun can be used with products having a viscosity ranging from 10 to a maximum of 60 seconds. Dip the viscosity cup into the material and fill up. Time how long it takes for the viscosity cup to empty (Fig 1). Using the above chart (or manufacturer's instructions) as a guide determine if the material requires further thinning, if so then thin accordingly. 4 Fig. 1 OPERATION Fill the paint container with the material to be sprayed. 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.

This can be washed out if necessary and replaced when dry. From time to time this filter will need replacing. G The turbine bearings are sealed and lubricated for life. There is no maintenance or adjustment required. [. . . ]
