This unit cannot be used for textured
paints. Use of these materials will cause
premature wear to the unit, which will void
the guarantee. To obtain the best results
from the Paint Sprayer, please read the
instructions fully before use and retain for
future reference.
Intended for use ONLY with
painting liquids with a flashpoint
above 70°F (21°C).
DO NOT
use materials with a flashpoint
below 70°F (21°C).
To test the viscosity
a) Dip the viscosity cup supplied into the
painting material and fill to the top.
b) Time how long it takes the viscosity cup
to empty.
c) Refer to the guide below or the paint
manufacturer’s instructions to determine if
the paint requires thinning.
If the painting material
requires thinning
a) To select the correct thinning agent,
determine if the material is water based
or oil based.
For water based paint use
water based thinner. For oil based
paints use oil based thinner.
b) Start with a 10% dilution of the painting
material.
c) To do this, fill the Paint Sprayer Elite
container with the required amount of
paint or material.
The viscosity cup supplied holds 1/10 of
a litre; block the hole in the cup and fill-up
with the required thinner.
d) Add the thinner to the paint and stir.
Then measure the viscosity again.
e) If the painting material requires further
thinning, dilute by another 5% (5% is equal
to half the viscosity cup) with the correct
thinner and measure the viscosity. If the paint
requires further thinning, repeat the process
until the correct viscosity is reached.
TIP
- Keep a small amount of paint to one
side to add if you over dilute with thinners.

Using Paint Sprayer Elite
How to spray
If spraying with a paint sprayer spray system
is new or unfamiliar to you, it is advisable
to practice on an area of scrap wood
or cardboard before beginning on your
intended work surface.
Preparation
All objects and surfaces you intend to
paint should be cleaned before you begin
spraying.
All areas
NOT
intended for painting should
be covered or masked off.
Spraying
•
First, carry out a test-spray run and
adjust the spray pattern and the spray
material quantity according to the spray
material (for adjustments please refer to
page 11)
•
Make sure you hold the Sprayer
vertical and parallel to the target area,
at a distance of between 5 - 15cm.
•
Always begin spraying outside of the
target area to prime the trigger.
•
Move the spray gun evenly cross-wise
or up and down, depending on the
spray pattern.
•
An even surface quality is achieved
when the spray paths overlap by 4 - 5
cm.
•
To ensure a complete even finish, you
may need to spray over the edge of the
target area. This will avoid a thin coat
around the edges of the target area.
Preparation - outdoor use only
IMPORTANT
- Observe the wind direction
when operating the Sprayer outdoors and
wear suitable eyewear, ear, breathing and
clothing protection.
The spray area
MUST
be clean and free
of dust in order to prevent any unwanted
materials making contact with the painted
surface.
IMPORTANT
- Please follow all
environmental guidelines if spraying
outdoors. Be aware of your environment
and dispose of any unused materials in the
correct manner.
NOTE
- An even movement of the spray
gun results in an even spray.
Keep your wrist straight and parallel to
the surface.
If you bend your wrist or arm while painting,
the angle of the spray may lead to a heavy
paint formation in certain areas, resulting in
an uneven finish.
TIP
- Never spray the container completely
empty, when the suction tube no longer
immerses in the spray material, air bubbles
will be created causing a break in the flow
from the jet spray, resulting in an uneven
spray pattern.
