Work area hazards
a) Be aware of slippery surfaces caused by use of the tool and trip hazards caused by the air line.
Slips, trips and falls are major causes of injury.
b) Where possible do not obstruct thoroughfares and passageways with air lines or cables. Take
appropriate measures to reduce trip risk such as erecting warning signs and fixing cables and air
lines in place.
c) The tool is not intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and is not insulated against
contact with electric power.
Spray Gun Safety
WARNING: Solvents and paints are harmful and can even be toxic. Some solvents and paints are
extremely flammable. Handle with care, according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Store
solvents and paint in sealed, leak proof containers made of a material that is chemically resistant to
the specific solvent. Always wear suitable protective equipment and dispose of solvents and paints,
as well as contaminated items, as special waste, according to laws and regulations.
WARNING: DO NOT USE WITH HALOGENATED HYDROCARBONS. Solvents that are chemically
based on halogenated hydrocarbon, like trichloroethane and methylene chloride 1,1,1, may cause
chemical reactions in combination with aluminium and galvanised or hot galvanised components,
and may therefore represent a potential explosion hazard. Always refer to the manufacturer's
instructions.
WARNING: When spraying coating materials, dangerous vapours or aerosols, which are
detrimental to your health, are produced. Please read all labels and safety instructions carefully
and observe all indicated instructions and recommendations. In case of doubt, please ask the
material supplier. Use respiratory protection when spraying. The respiratory equipment used must
be suitable for the material in use and adapted to the degree of the vapour concentration. When
spraying paint, use respiratory equipment independent of the ambient atmosphere, or equipment
with filter combination A1/A2-P2. Ensure a sufficient protection of your skin during all spraying
and cleaning procedures. Wear appropriate protective clothes and use suitable protective skin
ointments.
WARNING: DO NOT spray acids, caustic solutions, removers and similar substances.

Intended Use
Atomising gravity feed spray gun, powered by filtered compressed air from a compressor, for
spraying of medium viscosity paint and coatings at low pressures.
Not intended for commercial use.
The tool must ONLY be used for its intended purpose. Any use other than those mentioned in this
manual will be considered a case of misuse. The operator, and not the manufacturer, shall be liable
for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse. The manufacturer shall not be liable
for any modifications made to the tool, nor for any damage resulting from such modifications.
Unpacking your Product
• Carefully unpack and inspect your product. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions.
• Ensure all parts of the product are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or
damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this product.
Before Use
Fitting the quick connector
Note: This tool is supplied with two different male airline Quick Connectors (7) (Fig. I):
EQ-4 – commonly used in Europe
EN-6 – mainly used in the UK
• Please choose the connector that is compatible with the airline system you are using, and install
as outlined below:
1. Apply PTFE tape (not included) tightly in a clockwise direction to the screw threads of the Quick
Connector. This will help to maintain an airtight seal.
Note: Apply PTFE tape tightly and in a clockwise direction, so it does not come off when the thread
is screwed into the tool.
2. Remove the protective plug from the air inlet.
3. Using a spanner (not included) screw the Quick Connector into the air inlet located at the base of
the Handle (6).
4. Connect to airline, pressurise carefully and carry out a leak check (e.g. by spraying small amounts
of soapy water on to the outside of the connectors).
• Air lines fitted with matching female Quick Connectors will now be a push fit to the tool
Fitting the paint container
• Before fitting the gravity feed Paint Container (2), pull out the plastic filter element that sits
inside the Paint Container connection of the spray gun, clean if necessary (see 'Maintenance')
and inspect for damage.
Note: Always inspect the O-ring on the Paint Container thread, and ensure it is in good condition.
Change if required.
• Fit the Paint Container by screwing it into the opening on top of the spray gun. Tighten by hand.
Recommended air supply
WARNING: Under no circumstances should the spray gun be used in a compressed air system
with integrated oiler.
Note: Achieving a fine spray finish without the use of a high-quality separator filter is virtually
impossible.
• This tool should be connected to a clean, dry air supply with water separator and filter (Fig. II)
• Do not allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated (see 'Specification')
• Ensure that water is drained from air system daily
• Ensure that all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc.) are correctly rated for the air pressure to
be used
• Do not use non-conductive tubing to help prevent build-up of electrostatic charge
Setting the air pressure
• Atomising pressure must be set properly to allow for the drop in air pressure between the
compressor/regulator and the spray gun
• Use recommended hose diameter to minimise pressure drop and adjust supply air pressure
according to 'Specification'
IMPORTANT: To reduce overspray and to obtain maximum efficiency, always spray with the lowest
possible atomising air pressure.
