User manual EARLEX SG85

[. . . ] Always disconnect from mains supply when refilling the paint container. After every use ensure you clean your spray gun thoroughly and ALWAYS LUBRICATE THE PISTON. It is recommended that a RCD (residual current device) rated at 30mA is fitted into the mains supply socket for added protection against electric shock. NEVER USE THE SPRAY GUN OUTSIDE WHEN IT IS RAINING. We have done all we can to ensure that used correctly and according to these instructions, the Earlex SG85 Electric Airless Spray Gun will give long trouble free service. [. . . ] A fast speed will give a thin coat and a slow speed will give a heavy coat. If a further coat is required follow the paint manufacturers instructions for drying times. If spraying small areas or objects keep the output setting low as this will avoid excessive use of paints and will minimise overspray. When spraying large areas or objects, it is best to use a crisscross pattern, either from left to right then up or down or vice-versa. Avoid stopping and starting when spraying as this can lead to too much or not enough material on a surface. To ensure edges are covered, commence spraying just to the side of area being sprayed, continue and do not stop until the spray has gone past the opposite edge. SPRAY NOZZLE SELECTION Two nozzle sizes are supplied with the gun, these should be used as follows: 1) 0. 6mm - This size works best for oil-based materials, stains, sealers, lacquers, water-proofers and enamels for small application areas. 2) 0. 8mm - This is a general purpose nozzle that works best for materials such as emulsions, latex and thicker type paints. 7 3) If you start spraying and find that the spray pattern is small and splattery and adjusting the output control knob does not solve the problem then you need to try the larger nozzle before further thinning the material. USING THE FLEXIBLE EXTENSION NOZZLE The flexible extension nozzle can be bent at any angle to make the painting of ceilings and floors much Fig 6 easier. As the sprayer must not be tilted at more than a 45º angle to prevent a back leak, it is essential to use the flexible extension to paint ceilings (fig 6). To use this, operate as follows: 1) Unscrew the spray gun nozzle by turning it anti-clockwise. 2) Screw the end of the extension tube with the plastic thread onto the spray gun. 3) Ensure the short atomiser valve is inserted into the flexible extension tube. sg82 amend p8. qxd 19/01/00 12:35 Page 8 4) Screw the spray nozzle onto the end of the flexible extension. 6) When finished using, clean all parts and then re-assemble in the original configuration. CLEAN AFTER EVERY USE (SEE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS) HOW TO USE THE 1. 5m (5') SUCTION TUBE For larger painting applications, using the 1. 5m (5') suction tube enables you to draw paint directly out of a large can instead of using the paint container, thus saving considerable time and making painting an even easier job, since you are operating the sprayer without a loaded paint container. Remove the paint container and the intake tube from the paint sprayer. Then disassemble the fittings at both ends before any remaining paint dries up, thoroughly clean the adaptor fitting, intake tube and filter. CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS After every use it is essential that you clean the gun thoroughly. This will prevent any blockages occuring and provide constant performance when you next come to use it. When you have finished spraying, empty any remaining material out of the paint container. Rinse the spray gun container with the thinner that was used and spray through the gun onto cardboard or newspaper. Pour some more of the thinner that was previously used into the container and spray the gun until what is being sprayed becomes clear.

PR9 -The Autofeed Paint Roller is a portable battery operated paint rolling system. It has a 3 litre paint reservoir and 23cm (9") roller and automatically feeds the paint to the roller head. Easy to use the PR9 provides enough capacity for one coat of a 3. 6m x 2. 7m (12'x 9') room without having to refill. [. . . ]
