Introduction

Selecting Paint

This is a highly versatile Craft Spraying Kit that can be used with several different water-based

spray mediums including acrylics, fabric and poster paints. However, some materials cannot be

sprayed so please check the recommendation of the manufacturer before buying the paint. If a

material refers to brush application only then it usually cannot be sprayed.

THIS UNIT CANNOT BE USED FOR TE TURED OR SOLVENT-BASED PAINTS. USE OF

THESE MATERIALS WILL CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR, WHICH WILL VOID THE

GUARANTEE.

TO OBTAIN THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR SPRAY KIT PLEASE READ THE

INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE USE.

Preparation

lPreparation of the surface and thinning of the paint are the two most important areas to be

concerned with to obtain the best results from your Craft Spraying Kit.

lEnsure all surfaces are free from dust, dirt, rust and grease. If necessary rub down with

sandpaper or use a wire brush to clean.

lWipe over with a cloth, ensure surface to be sprayed is absolutely dry.

lMasking of areas is important to ensure you do not spray those areas you wish to remain

untouched.

lIn order to spray some materials they need to be “thinned” (diluted). Thinning is very

important when spraying.

lMost paints are supplied ready for brush application and may need to be thinned (diluted) for

spraying purposes.

lFollow the manufacturer’s guide for thinning in conjunction with a spray gun.

lIf in doubt please contact the manufacturer of the paint. Paint is “thinned” by adding the

substance which the paint is based upon.

lIf a water-based paint then water is added.

lFollow the guidance chart above to reach the recommended consistency for your paint.

lThe consistency of single cream should spray easily and leave a good finish.

lWe recommend a face mask, gloves and goggles are worn at all times when

spraying. 7

Twist and click the Air Cap (2) horizontally to obtain a vertical side to side spray pattern.

Twist and click the Air Cap (2) vertically to obtain a horizontal up and down spray pattern.

Twist and click the Air Cap (2) to a diagonal setting for a round spray pattern for more

detailed projects.

Fill the Paint Container (13) with the material to be sprayed. DO NOT FILL above MAX level

indicator.

Stir the paint well using Paint Stirrer (16) supplied.

Push the Paint Feed Tube (11) firmly into the base of the spray gun body.

Screw the container onto the gun body tightly. An airtight seal is essential for the correct

operation of this gun. Before operating the unit please ensure that the Paint Container (13)

is securely fixed to the gun body and the Gland Nut (9) is not loose.

Over time the Gland Seal (10) will wear and the gland nut will need adjusting to

compensate. To check the gland nut is correctly fitted you will need a small adjustable

spanner. Pull the Trigger (14) back and gradually tighten the gland nut by turning clockwise

until the needle is not free to move when the trigger is released.

To obtain the optimum setting gradually unscrew the gland nut by turning anticlockwise

until the Fluid Needle (6) moves forward into the Fluid Tip (4). To check your settings are

correct spray a container of water. Re-adjust if necessary.

Place the motor unit onto a clean and level surface, free from any loose debris or liquids.

Connect the hose to the back of the spray gun. Uncoil the power cord and plug into a mains

power socket-outlet.

ALWAYS KEEP THE MOTOR UNIT AS FAR AWAY FROM THE SPRAYING AREA AS

POSSIBLE TO PREVENT PAINT FROM CONTAMINATING THE MOTOR.

MASK ANY AREA YOU DO NOT WISH TO SPRAY.

Now you are set up ready to spray, switch on the unit. No paint will be sprayed until the

Trigger (14) on the spray gun is gently pulled. Before starting any work on spraying actual

objects we suggest you spend some time practicing on cardboard or newspaper until you

have got used to how the spray gun works.

10.

To obtain the best results always keep your spray gun level and at an equal distance from

the object you are spraying, idealy 10”-12” (side to side or up or down) from the surface.

Avoid spraying at an angle as this will lead to runs on the surface (Fig.4a-4c).

Let your arm control the left to right movement rather than your wrist as this will help give

you an even paint distribution over the whole area.

Do not tip the spray gun to more than a 45˚ angle when the motor is switched OFF. You can

tip the spray gun at more of an angle when spraying provided the motor is switched ON.

lThe volume of paint sprayed is easily adjustable (Fig.3).

lCompletely close the Fluid Adjusting Screw (8) by turning fully

clockwise. While pulling the Trigger (14), begin turning the fluid

adjusting screw anticlockwise until the volume of paint you require is

obtained.

lIf the paint spray is too wide or contains too much paint turn the Fluid

Adjusting Screw (8) clockwise again. Once the correct spray pattern is

obtained you are able to commence spraying. The paint volume needs

to be adjusted everytime you change the spray pattern, especially when

you use the round pattern, as this can often contain too much paint.

Min.

Evenly control the speed of movement of the spray gun. A fast speed will give a thin coat

and a slow speed will give a thick coat.

Only apply one coat at a time. If an additional coat is required, follow the paint

manufacturer’s instructions for drying times.

If spraying small areas or objects keep the output setting low as this will avoid excessive

use of paints and will minimize overspray.

Helpful Hints

Fig.5

When spraying large areas or objects, it is best to use a ‘criss-cross’

pattern, either from left to right then up or down or vice-versa. This

will ensure maximum coverage (Fig. 5).

Avoid stopping and starting when spraying as this can lead to too

much or not enough material on a surface.

To ensure edges are covered, commence spraying just to the side of

area being sprayed.
