Refer to the chapter on cleaning to see how the Fluid Tip and Fluid Needle can be removed and switched for a smaller/larger Fluid Tip and Fluid Needle assembly. • Fill the Paint Container with the product to be sprayed. Stir well (as mentioned above). • Screw the Paint Container to the base of the Spray Gun and tighten accordingly. • Unroll the motor unit air hose and attach it to the back of the Spray Gun. • Unroll the power cable and attach the plug to the mains supply. • Switch the Spray Station on. 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. Fig.1 Very important: when spraying for the first time, we recommend that you always leave the motor to run for 1 to 2 minutes before applying the product. Do not forget that the Fluid Adjusting Screw controls the quantity of paint sprayed, for instance the more the Paint Adjusting Screw is tightened the less paint is sprayed. 4 VerticalSprayHorizontalSprayRoundSprayFig.2SPRAYING TECHNIQUE VerticalSprayHorizontalSprayRoundSprayFig.2SPRAYING TECHNIQUE Horizontal and Vertical Spray Vertical and Horizontal for normal sized jobs (Fig.2) Round Spray Round for small and precise jobs The most commonly used technique for painting a wall is the ‘crisscross’ technique, i.e. you apply the product in horizontal lines and then cross over these lines by applying the product in vertical lines; (Fig. 3) 1) Adjust the Air Cap to obtain a Vertical spray, then pull the Trigger Fig. 3 and move your arm across to the right. 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. 3) Proceed in this manner applying the product in Horizontal lines one Let go of the trigger at the underneath the other. end of each spray movement to avoid 4) Next, adjust the Air Cap to obtain a Horizontal spray and apply the excessive paint and drips product in horizontal lines over the lines you have just sprayed. Release the trigger to avoid overspraying which will cause the product to run! Cross over the horizontal lines (spayed with a Vertical pattern) with vertical lines (sprayed with a Horizontal pattern). Only the fore arm must move not the wrist. 5 CLEANING SPRAY GUN SPRAY GUN Type of paint Cleaning Water based paint Clean with water Oiled based paint Clean with white spirit Removing the Fluid Tip and Fluid Needle assembly (for cleaning or switching to a smaller/larger diameter). Flush out the residue paint from the spray gun, as follows: l Remove the paint container (25) from the spray gun. l Pour any residual paint into its original container for future use. l Use a cloth soaked in thinners to wipe out excess paint from the container, the underside of the lid (22) & the gasket (23). l Pour a small quantity of clean thinners into the container, re-fit the container to the spray gun and shake the gun lightly. l Now spray all of the thinners through the gun. l Repeat this, each time using clean thinners, until there is no trace of paint in the thinners being sprayed. To thoroughly clean the remainder of the spray gun, remove all working parts as per the exploded spare parts drawing on p.3 as follows. l Loosen and remove Air Cap Ring (1), Air Cap (2) and Air Distributor Plate & Spring (3). l Now unscrew the Adjusting Screw (12) and pull out the Needle (9) and Needle Spring (11). l Use the supplied spanner, to remove the Fluid Tip (4) and Fluid Tip Seal (5). All of the components above can be immersed in thinners and cleaned using the cleaning kit supplied with this product. After cleaning your spray gun and before fitting the needle, dip the tip into some vaseline which will lubricate the gland washers as the needle is inserted. • NEVER DISPOSE OF PAINTS OR SOLVENTS DOWN THE DRAIN. ALWAYS USE YOUR LOCAL WASTE COLLECTION SITE. 6 TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE ACTION REQUIRED The paint drips onto item being painted Paint too diluted Add undiluted paint Paint output too high Reduce the paint output by adjusting the Fluid Adjusting Screw (12) Moving too slowly Increase speed of application Spray Trigger held for too long Release Trigger sooner Spray Gun too close Increase the distance between the Spray Gun and the work surface Paint is too thin or irregular Paint too diluted Add undiluted paint Paint output too low Increase the paint output by adjusting the Fluid Adjusting Screw (12) Moving too fast Reduce speed of application Gun clooged Clean the Spray Gun Gun too far away Move the Spray Gun closer to the work surface No paint being released Paint too thick Add thinner Fluid Tip clogged Clean the Fluid tip Pick-up Tube clogged Clean Pick-up Tube (18) Air Hose split Replace air Hose (14) Grainy paint Filter the paint Container almost empty Refil Paint Container Spray Gun at an angle Check that the Pick-up Tube is pointing towards the paint (18) Air inlet blocked Check the condition of...
