[. . . ] Unwind the hose from the main housing and connect to the back of the gun. ALWAYS KEEP THE MOTOR UNIT AS FAR AWAY FROM THE SPRAYING AREA AS POSSIBLE TO PREVENT PAINT CONTAMINATING THE MOTOR. No paint will be sprayed from the gun until the trigger on the spray gun is pulled. Before starting any work on spraying actual objects we suggest you spend a small amount of time practicing on cardboard or newspaper until you have got used to how the gun works. OPERATION SPRAY PATTERNS The gun has 3 different spray patterns ­ Horizontal, Vertical and Round (Fig. 2). The round spray is used for small objects or for areas - such as corners ­ that are difficult to reach. Fig. 2 To change the spray pattern simply rotate the Air Cap (2) until it clicks into the positions as shown in (Fig 2). The overall size of the selected spray pattern can be varied by turning the Air Cap Ring (1). When viewed from the front, rotate Horizontal Jet Round Jet it clockwise to increase the pattern size, or anti-clockwise to Vertical Jet reduce the pattern size. The volume of paint sprayed is easily adjustable (Fig. 3). Completely close adjustment screw (12) by turning this clockwise as far as it will go. Whilst pulling the trigger, begin turning the adjustment screw anti-clockwise until the volume of paint you require is obtained. If the paint spray contains too much paint turn the adjustment screw clockwise to reduce it. Once you have set the spray pattern & the paint volume, you are ready to begin spraying. Fig. 3 PAINT VOLUME 1. To obtain the best results always keep your spray gun level and spray equally from side to side or up or down from the surface. Avoid spraying at an angle as this will lead to runs on the surface (Fig. 4). Let your arm control the left to right movement rather than your wrist as this will aid even paint distribution over the whole area (Fig. 5). Do not tip the spray gun to more than 45°angle (Fig. 6). SPRAYING TECHNIQUE Fig. 4 Fig. 5 Fig. 6 NEEDLE & FLUID TIP SELECTION Paints, varnishes, wood treatments etc, are manufactured using a variety of materials & have widely different viscosities. You may find that the 2. 0mm dia Fluid Tip & Needle supplied with this spray gun does not enable you to spray your particular choice of finish exactly as you would like. In such cases a change of Fluid Tip & Needle size will probably solve this problem. In general, thicker, more viscose materials are best sprayed through a larger Fluid Tip to give best coverage. Thinner, less viscose materials are best sprayed through a smaller Fluid Tip. To allow for these variations Fluid Tip & needle sets are available, as optional extras, in 1. 0mm dia, 1. 5mm dia & 2. 5mm dia (See page 3). 5 L0199 09-04. qxd 14/2/05 10:13 am Page 6 HELPFUL HINTS 1. [. . . ] If you are using an extension lead it must be rated at a minimum of 6 amps and fully unwound. Do not operate with a lead rated at less than 6 amps as this will cause premature failure of the motor which is not covered by the guarantee. As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of the application may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows: The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red. [. . . ]
