Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its
features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts
are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use
this tool
Operating Instructions
NOTE: Check that all connections are secure, and that line pressure does not
exceed the stated maximum pressure for the tool to be used.
See diagram below for recommended air connection which shows a fitted air filter
removing moisture from the air line. If vibration is apparent during operation of any
of these tools, the use of a rubber whip/leader hose is recommended.
If the quick connectors are not pre-fitted to the tools, fit them by screwing them
into the bottom of the handles of each tool. To eliminate any air leaks the use of
PTFE tape may be required around the thread of the quick connectors.
Blow Gun
• To operate the Blow Gun (2) connect to the air-line and press the trigger. This
tool is useful for cleaning swarf or dust from worktops or recessed areas
Tyre Inflator
1. To operate the Tyre Inflator (1), connect to air-line, and to tyre valve
2. To inflate the tyre, squeeze the trigger. Be aware that the inflation rate is
high - do not over-inflate and damage the tyre
3. To check tyre pressure, release the trigger and the gauge will display the
current pressure. While inflating, regularly check the gauge by releasing
the trigger
Note: During inflation, the pressure shown on the gauge is the airline pressure,
not the tyre pressure.
Degreasing & Undercoating Gun
NOTE: Always disconnect the Degreasing & Undercoating Gun (3) from the air
supply before filling the Canister (8)
1. Unscrew the Canister (8) from the trigger/nozzle assembly
2. Fill the canister with a suitable fluid (this product is suitable for use with a
wide range of oils, cleaning and rustproofing liquids)
3. Replace the trigger/nozzle assembly securely onto the canister
4. To operate the degreasing gun, squeeze the trigger
• The Nozzle (7) can be adjusted to vary the spray pattern. Unscrew the locking
collar to allow adjustment of the main nozzle. Adjust the nozzle and then rotate
the locking collar to secure the nozzle. The viscosity of the liquid will affect the
spray pattern
• Correct adjustment of the nozzle and the air pressure level for the liquid used
will allow you to find the ideal spray pattern for your intended application, for
example undercoating
Spray Gun
Filling
1. Always disconnect the Spray Gun (5) from the air supply before filling
2. Paint should always be pre-mixed and thinned according to the paint
manufacturer’s guidance for use with air spray guns or similar equipment
3. Remove the Canister (8) by unscrewing from its lid. The canister can then be
filled
4. Refit the canister and tighten
Set Up
1. Connect the spray gun to the air supply. It is important to provide clean,
filtered air to the spray gun. If you have an inline oiler switch it off and make
sure water is filtered from the air line. Any oil or water in the airline will
contaminate the paint
2. To change the orientation of the spray pattern slightly unscrew the Air Cap
(11) and rotate the Nozzle (7) to the desired orientation and then re-tighten
the air cap
3. To adjust the shape of the spray pattern, rotate the Pattern Control Knob (10)
4. To adjust and limit the paint delivery rate, adjust the Trigger Restrictor (9)
which controls the allowable movement of the trigger and therefore the
maximum flow rate
Painting
• Prepare by ensuring you are wearing appropriate safety equipment, and ensure
any surfaces that do not require painting are masked off
• Prime the sprayer by spraying away from the intended surface until paint-
spraying consistency is achieved
• It is important to ensure the paint is sprayed at the correct distance from the
workpiece, and that consistency in both distance and speed is maintained
throughout
• Depending on the surface to be painted, you may need to start spraying before
the gun is passed over the surface, to ensure an even coat is applied
• Do not overload the surface with too much paint, otherwise the paint may run
• Allow the paint to dry slightly before applying a second coat
• Do not allow the paint to dry in the gun - always clean the gun immediately
after use
Cleaning
• Remove the Canister (8), and drain out any remaining paint
• Pour a suitable cleaning agent into the canister and re-attach to the paint gun
• Shake the gun to release paint from inside the canister
• Reconnect the gun to the air supply and set to a high flow rate. Spray onto
scrap material until the spray becomes clear. Repeat if necessary
• For a more thorough clean unscrew the air cap and remove the nozzle, then
soak in a cleaning agent
• Remove any remaining paint with a small, stiff, brush. Do not attempt to clean
air passageways with a metal object
• Remove the needle by fully unscrewing the Trigger Restrictor (9). Clean the
needle, and check that it is not bent or damaged
• When thoroughly clean and dry, reassemble the gun, and store in a dry place
• It may be necessary to lubricate the needle to maintain working condition of the
tool. Use a suitable lubricant sparingly and flush through the tool with a cleaning
solution afterwards to make sure no lubricant residue can contaminate the paint
Troubleshooting
Note: Before checking other causes, make sure there are no air leaks in the main
air line or fittings at the compressor or tool end
Symptom Possible Cause Remedy
Volume of paint being
sprayed very low Air pressure low Increase air pressure
Excessive paint being
sprayed Air pressure high Decrease air pressure
Inconsistency of paint
being sprayed Blockage in air
hole of Canister (8),
blocked nozzle or poor
assembly Unblock air hole in
lid of canister and
clean spray gun and
re-assemble correctly.
Also needle may
require lubrication
