11. Air GUN sAFetY
WArNiNG! disconnect blow gun from the air supply before changing accessories, servicing or performing any maintenance.
‰
de-pressurise the blow gun before removing air hose from the gun.
9
maintain the blow gun in good condition (use an authorised service agent).
9
Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Non genuine parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
9
Keep the work area clean, uncluttered and ensure there is adequate lighting.
9
only use the blow gun for the purpose of blowing compressed air.
9
WArNiNG! Always wear approved eye or face protection when operating the blow gun. Use a face or dust mask if dust is generated.
‰
Wear appropriate protective clothing.
maintain correct balance and footing. ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non slip shoes.
9
Remove ill fitting clothes, ties, watches, rings, other loose jewellery, and contain/tie back long hair.
9
Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
9
Secure non stable work piece with a clamp, vice or other adequate holding device.
9
Avoid unintentional starting.
9
WArNiNG! air pressure should not exceed 90psi.
‰
Keep air hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check air hose for wear before each use, and ensure that all connections are secure.
9
do Not use the blow gun for any purpose other than for which it is designed.
8
do Not operate blow gun if any parts are damaged or missing as may cause failure or personal injury.
8
do Not carry the by the hose, or yank the hose from the air supply.

Recommended hook-up fig.8.
14.1.1.
ensure tool's air valve (or trigger) is in the off position before connecting to the air supply.
WArNiNG! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed specification (above) while operating the tool. Too high an air pressure
‰
and/or unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing damage and/or personal
injury.
14.1.2.
drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will ruin the paint finish and damage the tool.
14.1.3.
Clean air inlet filter weekly.
14.1.4.
line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum hose diameter should be
1/4" I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
14.1.5.
Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all connections are secure.
14.2.
coUpliNGs
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the tool. To overcome this, connect
a leader hose. A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line recoil hose (fig.8).
15. sprAY GUN operAtioN
15.1.
For best results, the gun should be held perpendicular to the surface being sprayed and moved parallel to it. Start the stroke before
squeezing the trigger and release the trigger before finishing the stroke. This will enable accurate control of the gun and material
refer to fig's 9 & 10 below.
15.2.
Spray from a distance of about 6 to 10 inches (150 to 250mm) depending on the material and the atomizing pressure. The material
deposited should always be even and wet. Each stroke must overlap the preceding stroke to obtain a uniform finish. To reduce
over-spray and obtain maximum efficiency, spray with the lowest possible atomizing air pressure.
15.3.
Controlling the fan spray and the fluid.
a)
Use the needle (paint) adjustment knob (fig.11.2) to adjust the amount of paint flow.
b)
The atomizing air flow is controlled by the control knob (fig.11.1).
c)
The volume of air input is controlled by the adjustment knob (fig.11.3).
d)
As width of spray is increased more material must pass through the gun to obtain the same coverage on the increased
area.
e)
Turn the air nozzle (fig.11.4) to achieve a horizontal or vertical fan spray. Lock the nozzle with retaining ring (fig.11.5).
The spray pattern of the gun is variable from round to flat with all patterns in between. In normal operation, the wings on
the nozzle are horizontal (fig.12). This provides a vertical fan-shaped pattern which gives maximum, uniform and even
coverage when moving the gun back and forth, parallel to the work surface (fig.13).
