7. Preparation Instructions
Important: Before using this product, read and
understand all the safety instructions listed in this
manual.
7.1 Preparing the Air Supply for Use
The maximum operating pressure of these air tools is:
• 1.4mm spray gun: 3.5bar (50psi)
• 0.8mm spray gun: 2.0bar (29psi)
The compressed air system must be controlled by a
combination pressure regulator* and moisture lter; this
will ensure a constant supply of dry air at all times,
provided it is properly maintained.
*This product includes an on-gun regulator that may be
installed directly onto the tool’s air line inlet.
Important: Always check the machine operating
pressure before use.
Water in the compressor tank may cause considerable
corrosion to air tools; the compressor should be drained
daily to avoid excessive water in the air supply. Dirty or
wet air can signicantly shorten the lifespan of the
product.
When using an air tool with a hose over 25ft long,
increasing the bore of the hose to the next largest
available size is recommended (i.e. increase 3/8" to 1/2").
This will ensure adequate pressure and volume of air to
power the tool.
CAUTION! DO NOT lubricate the air line when
using paint spray guns. Ensure that any oil
device has been removed and any residual oil
purged from the system before connecting the
spray gun.

8 Fig.
6 Fig.
Important: Before using this product, read and
understand all the safety instructions listed in this
manual. DO NOT make any adjustments to the spray gun
while the trigger is depressed.
8.1 The Regulator
This product is supplied with a regulator and gauge,
which can be attached directly to the spray gun air line
inlet (11). Use the regulator to set and manage the
airow and pressure into the spray gun.
• To adjust the air pressure to the spray gun, rotate the
regulator adjustment dial (13).
• To lock the regulator adjustment dial in place, press it
downwards; lift it upwards again to release it.
To use the regulator with the spray guns:
1. Attach the regulator between the spray gun and air
line (see 7.3 Assembly, Filling and Connection to
the Air Supply) (Fig. 7).
2. Before pressurising the system, rotate the regulator
adjustment dial (13) clockwise until resistance is met
to fully close the valve.
Important: If the adjustment dial is locked into place, it
can be released by lifting it away from the regulator unit.
3. Pressurise the air line.
4. Gradually rotate the adjustment dial anticlockwise to
increase the pressure the regulator pressure gauge
(16) indicates the desired value on the correct scale.
CAUTION! DO NOT exceed the maximum
rated pressure of the regulator or the attached
air tool.
5. Press the adjustment dial (13) downwards to lock it
and prevent unintentional changes.
Important: For more reliable results, ALWAYS adjust the
pressure upwards from a lower value. If the current
pressure must be reduced, adjust the pressure to a lower
value than required and carefully increase the pressure
until the desired value is reached.
8.2 The Air Control Dial
The air pressure can be ne-tuned by adjusting the air
control dial (2) on the spray gun. This is used to make
minor adjustments to the air ow after the required air
pressure has been set by the regulator (Fig. 8).
• Increase the airow: Rotate the dial clockwise.
• Decrease the airow: Rotate the dial anticlockwise.
Important: The air control dial should typically remain in
the fully open position to allow the full ow of air into the
spray gun, but it may be used to make minor adjustments
for specic operations. The dial will click when it has
been wound to its fully open position.

is released into the airow and the density of the spray
when the trigger is fully depressed (Fig. 9):
• To increase the paint quantity and density:
Rotate the nozzle regulator anticlockwise.
− The paint quantity should be increased when the
spray gun is positioned further from the surface or
when the paint mixture has a higher viscosity.
• To decrease the paint quantity and density:
Rotate the nozzle regulator clockwise.
− The paint quantity should be decreased when the
spray gun is positioned closer to the surface or
when the paint mixture has a lower viscosity.
Important: After adjusting, ensure that the uid control
lock nut (5) is tightened against the spray gun body.
8.4 The Spray Control Dial
The spray control dial (9) adjusts the shape of the paint
jet released from the nozzle (Fig. 10):
• Fuller, atter pattern: Rotate the dial clockwise.
• Narrower, rounder pattern: Rotate the dial
anticlockwise.
The spray control dial can be rotated more than 360°.
The line marker on the face of the dial indicates its
relative position.
8.5 The Air Cap
The air cap (1) has three types of opening that aect the
pattern of the uid spray (Fig. 11):
• A hole for the nozzle head from which the uid is
dispersed (17).
• Atomising air holes (18) that break the uid into a ne
spray (1.4mm air cap only).
• Air horn holes (19) that shape the spray pattern as
required.

trigger before making any adjustment to the spray gun.
8.7 Notes on Use
• Keep the spray gun 6–12" away from the surface
during operation.
• Start moving the spray gun BEFORE squeezing the
trigger to prevent a build-up of paint at the starting
point.
• Move the spray gun with a smooth motion, keeping it
perpendicular to and at a constant distance from the
surface at all times (Fig. 14).
• DO NOT rock or pivot the spray gun as this will deliver
uneven coverage of the surface.
• DO NOT hold the spray gun in a static position while
the trigger is depressed as this will deliver uneven
coverage.
• Slightly overlap the movements of the spray gun to
ensure an even distribution at the edges of each
stroke.
• Use a piece of scrap material at the edges of the area
to prevent overspray and protect other surfaces.
• Alter the speed of the movement, the distance from
the surface and the uid control dial setting to adjust
the thickness of the paint applied to the surface.
• Release the trigger BEFORE completing the spray gun
movement at the end of the nal stroke to prevent a
build-up of paint at the nishing point.
