6Thinning is very important when spraying. Most paints are supplied ready for brush application and may need tobe thinned (diluted) for spraying purposes. Follow the manufacturers guide for thinning in conjunction with aspray gun. If in doubt contact the manufacturers of the paint. Paint is “thinned” by adding the substance whichthe paint is based upon. If a water-based paint then water is added, if oil-based then white spirit.As some paints, wood preservatives and other sprayable materials contain particles that have grainy material,please ensure that when filling the paint container of the spray gun, that the paint is filtered through either a funnelwith a filter on it or through nylon tights or stockings. This will ensure that no large particles enter the paint container,so preventing blockages and providing you with trouble-free spraying. We recommend that a face mask, glovesand goggles are worn at all times when spraying.VERY IMPORTANT: When spraying for the first time, we recommend you run the motor for 1 to 2minutes before applying the product. Do not forget that the Fluid Control Adjuster (20/24) controls the volume ofpaint sprayed, for instance the more the Fluid Control Adjuster is tightened the less paint is sprayed.THINNING360Rotation360° SPRAY PATTERN ROTATIONThe 360° rotating air cap at the front of the gun allows complete flexibility in spray angle from horizontal tovertical and everything in between.
