Filling The Spray gun
Fill the container with the type of material required which is diluted to
the correct consistency, for spray painting using the appropriate thinner.
You can use emulsion paints, preservatives and most products suitable for
spraying when adequately thinned with the appropriate thinner, directions
for thinning should be sought from the manufacturer , however as a general
rule of thumb, if a wooden spatula or stick used for stirring the material
is lifted from the product there should be 3 drips and no more, as a guide
only.
How
to use the low-pressure spray gun :
Fill the container with the type of material required which is diluted to
a
Correct
consistency for spray painting using the appropriate thinner. Re-attach
the
container to the gun
Connect the accessory to the spiral-wound tube and to the compressor
Press the trigger to operate the spraying of the chosen material.
Adjust
the jet of paint using the ring-nut .
Always clean the spray gun carefully after use. Do not use wire brushes or
Abrasives.
Do not submerge the parts in solvent as this will damage the
Internal
seals.
Note:
it is normal for this spray gun to vent air continuously through the
Nozzle
Clean
the nozzle carefully after use. For this purpose, fill the reservoir with
Thinner
(or water for water based materials) and spray in a safe direction to
Remove
all material residue.
WARNING!!!:
Never leave paint inside the reservoir since this would damage the spray
gun
precision parts beyond repair.

How
to use the inflation gun:
Once
you have connected the accessory to the spiral-wound tube and to the
compressor,
unscrew the plug of the valve on the rim of the
Tyre.
Connect the end of the inflation gun to the valve of the tyre and make
sure
it is securely fastened.
To
inflate the tyre, start the compressor and press the trigger until the
pressure
required, shown on the gauge, is reached.
The
inflation of footballs, air beds, bicycle tyres etc, can be carried out
using
the adaptors supplied. The adaptors can be attached to the inflating
gun
by pressing the clip at the end of the tube connected to the inflating
gun,
then
push firmly the chosen adaptor into the nozzle and release the clip to
secure.
For
further information regarding the recommended pressure for tyre inflation,
refer
to the maintenance handbook of your car.
WARNING!!!:
the accessory provided in the kit must be used only to inflate
car
tyres. To inflate other objects such as balls, mattresses etc., ask your
retailer
for the 3-needle adapter kit.
AIR PRESSURE
Adjust
regulator knob (Fig. 4) to setting from “low-high” depending on the
speed of inflation required when using the inflating gun.

To
use the accessory, start the compressor, direct the gun in the direction
of
the
surface to be washed and press the trigger. Best cleaning
results
are obtained at maximum water pressure i.e. turn the water tap to full
on.
Remember that you can adjust the jet of water using the ring-nut at the
base
of
the nozzle.
WARNING!!!
Never use the jet of water on objects that may be damaged by
the
pressure of the water.
