SERVICING OF A DOUBLE - INSULATED
PRODUCT
In a double-insulated product, two systems of insulation
are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means
is provided on a double-insulated product, nor should a
means for grounding be added to the product. Servicing
of a double-insulated product requires extreme care
and knowledge of the system, and should be done only
by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a
double-insulated product must be identical to those parts
in the product.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Preparation (Fig. B)
Warning! Do not use textured wall paints or coatings as
this will block the nozzle.
To obtain the best results, it is important that you prepare
the surface to be sprayed and thin the paint to the correct
viscosity, before you operate your spray gun. Always
ensure that the surfaces to be sprayed are free from
dust, dirt and grease. Make sure that you have masked
the areas that should not be sprayed, using a good
quality masking tape. The paint or fluid to be sprayed
should be thoroughly mixed and free from lumps or
other particles. Many substances can be sprayed with
your spray gun, but always check the manufacturers
recommendations before purchasing your paint.
Thinning (Fig. C)
Warning! Always remember to disconnect from the
mains supply before filling the paint container with spray
able material
Most paints are supplied ready for brush application and
will need to be thinned before they are suitable to be
sprayed. Follow the manufacturer's advice on thinning
the paint when used with a spray gun.
The viscosity cup will help you to determine the correct
viscosity of paint to be used. The table below shows
recommended times for different types of material if no
dilution advice was given by the paint manufacturer.

Spraying (Fig. D)
Fill the paint container with the correctly thinned and
strained paint. Connect the spray gun to the mains
supply. Aim the spray gun at a piece of scrap material
and operate the trigger switch until paint is spraying.
Adjust the output control (2) until the required volume of
paint is spraying. Turn the output control in a clockwise
direction to reduce the flow and anti-clockwise to
increase the flow. Adjustment of the output control will
affect the spray pattern.
Spraying techniques (Fig. E & F)
To obtain the best results, keep your spray gun level and
parallel to the surface at all times. Keep the nozzle 20 - 30
cm from the surface and spray evenly from side to side or
up and down. Do not spray at an angle as this will lead to
paint runs on the surface. Use smooth and even strokes.
When spraying large areas, using a criss-cross pattern
as shown.Never start or stop the spray gun while it is
aimed at the surface to be sprayed. Evenly control the
speed of movement of the spray gun. A fast speed of
movement over the surface will give a thin coat and a
slow speed will give a heavy coat. Apply one coat at a
time. If a further coat is required, make sure you observe
the manufacturers drying time recommendations before
applying a second coat. When spraying small areas,
keep the output control on a low setting. This will avoid
using too much paint and prevent overspray.
Where possible, avoid stopping and starting when
spraying an object. This can lead to too much, or not
enough paint being applied.
Cleaning
Always remember to disconnect from the mains supply
before cleaning the spray gun or paint container.
It is essential that the spray gun is cleaned thoroughly
after every use. Failure to clean it will almost certainly
result in blockages and it may not operate when you
next come to use it! The guarantee does not cover
cleaning a sprayer that has not been properly cleaned
by the user.
The following action must be taken after every use:
1. Empty any remaining material from the container.
2. Clean the container thoroughly with the thinner that
was used.
3. Pour some thinner into the container and spray
through the spray gun until only clean thinner is
coming out of the nozzle.
4. Thoroughly clean the paint pick up pipe and filter with
thinner.
5. Clean the basket and nozzle and remove any other
debris or paint that remains.
6. Turn the spray gun upside down and apply a few
drops of light oil to the two apertures (Fig. G).
