• Water based paints (emulsions) 10-20% water.

4. If in any doubt, contact the paint manufacturer.

5. Having mixed the paint thoroughly in a separate container, pour into the

ADJUSTMENT OF THE SPRAY GUN

ADJUSTING THE PAINT SPRAY PATTERN

1. Set the Spray Width regulator according to the paint in use and the spray

pattern required to give either a wide, fan shaped spray pattern or a

narrow spray pattern.

• As the width of the spray is increased, paint flow will also need to be

increased.

2. You can adjust the orientation of

the fan pattern either vertically or

horizontally to suit your

requirements by turning the nozzle

side wings to the desired position.

ADJUSTING THE AIR FLOW

1. Turn the Airflow Regulator to set

the air supply volume.

• The air flow needed will vary

according to the paint in use, with thicker paints requiring more air.

SPRAYING TECHNIQUES

1. To avoid creating a vacuum, remove the vent cap from the top of the

paint container before spraying. Replace the cap to avoid spillage when

you stop.

2. Practice spraying on a piece of material with the same type of surface as

the item you wish to spray, e.g. metal for a car body panel, wood for a

piece of furniture etc.

3. Always make adjustments to the spray pattern according to the

conditions. You may need to increase the paint and air flow when using a

wider fan setting.
