 The viscosity cup supplied holds 1/10 of a litre; block the hole in the cup and fill-up with
the required thinner.
 Add the thinner to the paint and stir. Then measure the viscosity again.
 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.
6.2 Filling the spray gun (Fig 2)
 Ensure the unit is unplugged and switched to the off position.
 Unsrew the container from the spray gun.
 After the paint / material has been properly thinned, fill the container to the top of the neck.
 Carefully screw the container back on to the spray gun.
IMPORTANT Never fill over the max fill level of 800ml.
NOTE – Ensure the seal is in place before screwing the container back onto
the spray gun.
 The seal is located in the collar of the spray gun and is used to create an air-tight seal
between the container and the spray gun.
6.3 Aligning the Suction Tube
 The suction tube inside the container must be in place each time you use the spray gun.
 If you are going to be spraying in a downward direction, the angled end of the suction tube
should be pointing toward the front of the gun. (Fig 3)
NOTE
– The spray is not suitable for painting ceilings and/or any surface
where the spray gun requires more than a 45 degree angle for spraying.
 If you are going to be spraying in an upward direction, the angled end of the suction tube
should be pointing toward the rear of the gun. (Fig 4)
 By pointing the suction tube in the proper direction, you will not have to refill the container
as often.
IMPORTANT – Never tip the spray gun upwards at more than a 45 degree
angle. Material could get into the turbine and damage the spray gun.
6.4 Spray pattern
 The spray gun has 3 different spray patterns: Vertical – Horizontal – Round.
 The vertical and horizontal patterns are recommended for larger surfaces. The round
spray pattern is used for small objects or for areas – such as corners – that are difficult to
reach.
 Test each spray pattern to determine which is the most suitable for your spraying task.
