[. . . ] Purge the air from the spray gun by running it for a few seconds until the paint comes out of the gun. The volume of paint & the spray pattern is controlled using the Output Control Knob, (see fig. 3) Turn the knob anti-clockwise to increase the volume of paint sprayed & clockwise to decrease the amount of paint sprayed. A good spray pattern is achieved when there is an even amount of paint in a fine spray throughout the pattern. A poor spray pattern will concentrate the paint in the centre of the spray & give a blotchy finish. To get the best spray performance, turn the Output Control Knob fully anticlockwise. Aim the gun at a piece of cardboard, or similar waste material, & press the switch to start the spray gun. With the spray gun running, turn the Output Control Knob clockwise until the best spray pattern is achieved. If you are unable to achieve an even, fine spray you will probably need to thin the paint further. Follow the thinning procedure as described under "Preparing the Paint". MINIMUM CONTROL KNOB fig. 3 SPRAYING TECHNIQUE To obtain best results keep the spray gun level & square on to the surface being sprayed. The gun works best if the nozzle is kept about 25 ­ 30 cms (10" ­ 12") from the surface being sprayed. To avoid overlap of the paint & therefore uneven coverage, we recommend that the spray gun be momentarily turned off whenever you change direction. A fast speed will give a thin coat & a slow speed will give a thicker coat. Never tilt the spray gun more than 45° as this could result in paint getting in to the motor & causing serious damage. HELPFUL HINTS 1) Only apply one coat at a time. If more than one coat is required follow the paint manufacturers instructions for drying times. fig. 4 2) If spraying small objects keep the output setting low as this will avoid excessive use of paint & will minimise overspray. 5) Bend the flexible extension to the required angle (45° maximum). Do not bend the extention tube more times than necessary, as repeated bending can cause premature failure. NOZZLE FLEXIBLE EXTENSION SWIRL HEAD ATOMISER VALVE fig. 6 7 REMOTE PICK UP SYSTEM - (ASG120 only) For larger painting tasks, use the Remote Pick Up System. This enables you to draw paint directly out of a large can instead of using the paint container supplied with the spray gun, thereby saving considerable time and making painting an even easier job. When using the remote pick up system secure the Remote Pick Up Tube to the can using the Remote Pick Up Clip provided. If working from a ladder, the can may be carefully hung from a rung on the ladder using a wire hook. We recommend a maximum continuous spray time of 30 mins, with a minimum break of 20 mins before spraying again to avoid fatigue. Assembling the Remote Pick Up System (see fig. 7) G Unscrew and remove the paint container and remove the Suction Tube and Filter from the inlet spout. [. . . ] If you lose the fuse cover then please contact any electrical dealer for a replacement or ring our helpline. WARNING-If you are using an extension lead, it must be rated at a minimum of 6 amps and fully unwound. Do not operate with a lead rated at less than 6 amps as this will cause premature failure of the motor and will void your guarantee. SAFETY WARNING LABEL One of the labels on the spray gun is a warning label and shows three diagrams. [. . . ]
