CONNECTING ACCESSORIES TO YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR

WARNING!

Make certain that the air supply is switched off before connecting the accessories by fully turning knob

B in the direction minus (-) symbol (lift knob B to rotate).

1) All the accessories are fitted with quick connectors as shown above (Fig. CP 1 and CP 2). All of

the accessories supplied are connected to the air compressor via the coiled air line N in the

same way.

2) Each accessory operates at a specified air pressure shown in the respective section to

each accessory in the following pages. See symbol etc., the numerical value

3) The pressure of the compressed air outlet is adjusted by first lifting and then rotating the knob B

(Fig. AC 2). The air supply can be turned off by completely rotating knob B (Fig. AC 2) fully in

the direction of the minus (-) symbol.

4) The adjusted outlet air pressure is indicated by the numerical value shown in the blue area at the

base of regulator B (Fig. AC 2) corresponding to the arrow on the knob. The outlet air pressure

can be adjusted to any value in this way by rotating knob B in the direction of the + or - arrows.

Note:

The air pressure regulator B (Fig. AC 2) adjusts the outlet air pressure only. It does not regulate the air pressure within the air receiver tank F (Fig. AC 1) Page 2. For adjustment to the compressor working pressure please refer to the ‘User Instructions’ supplied with the air compressor .

Page 3

!

5) Make sure that the regulator knob B (Fig. AC 2) is rotated fully in the direction of the

(-) symbol thus shutting off the air supply before starting the compressor.

6) Connect the air coil N (Fig. AC 2) to the compressor outlet coupling D (Fig. AC 2) by

insert ing the connector M (Fig. AC 2) connected to the air coil N (Fig. AC 2) into the coupling

D (Fig. AC 2). The connector M should be pushed firmly into the coupling D. A clicking noise

will indicate that the coupling is engaged.

7) Each accessory can be connected to the air coil N (Fig. AC 2) by pushing the coupling P Fig.

CP 1) onto the connector Q (Fig. CP 1). The coupling should be pushed into place firmly and

as above a clicking noise will indicate that the coupling is engaged.

8) When the air coil is connected securely to both the accessory and to the air compressor then

the compressor can be started.

9) Switch on the compressor using the (auto) on /off switch A (Fig. AC 2). The compressor will

start and begin to build up pressure in the air receiver tank F (Fig. AC 1) page 2. When

the pre-set maximum air pressure is reached the compressor will automatically switch off.

10) When you have finished using the accessory close the compressed air outlet by fully

rotating knob B (Fig. AC 2) Test that the air supply is closed by operating the accessory until

all of the air is used and no air pressure remains. At this time disconnect the air coil from the

compressor by pulling back the outer sleeve of the coupling D (Fig AC 2). The coupling is then

disengaged and the air coil N can be disconnected from the accessory by the same

technique applied to coupling P (Fig. CP 2)

WARNING!

The compressor will re-start automatically as the compressed air is used, therefore it is

normal for the compressor to stop and start automatically as required during use.

WARNING

!

Always wear a protective mask, goggles and protective gloves when spray painting. Only spray paint in a well ventilated area. Always handle the paint/material to be sprayed in accordance with the Manufacturers instructions and safety advice. Some paints and other materials are combustible when sprayed and therefore these should not be sprayed near flames or any heat source or any areas where sparks etc may occur.

USING THE SPRAY GUN

1) Connect the paint spray gun to the air compressor and air coil as shown on Page 3.

2) Set the pressure regulator knob B as described on Page 3 so that a value of 3 is set (the

number 3 on the blue band aligns with the arrow on the knob).

3) Position the paint cup A (Fig. SG 3) and screw the paint cup into the socket I (Fig. SG 3).

Make certain that the paint cup A is securely screwed into the socket otherwise

paint/material may leak during use.

4) Remove the paint cup lid G (Fig SG 4) by pulling it away from the paint cup A (Fig. SG 3)

5) The paint/material (max 0.5 Ltr) to be sprayed can now be inserted into the paint cup A

(Fig. SG 3).

6) Replace the paint cup lid G by securely pushing this into paint cup A (Fig SG 5)

NOTE:

A. The paint/material to be sprayed may require thinning. The thinning fluid and dilution

formula should be obtained from the Manufacturers instructions. Paint/material that is too

thick will block the nozzle on the spray gun prohibiting use.

B. Whilst the paint cup is filled with paint/material make sure that the spray gun is maintained

in a vertical position otherwise spillage may occur.

Page 7

6) Switch on the air compressor and wait for the air compressor to build up to maximum pressure

at which time the compressor automatically switches off, the spray gun can now be used.

7) The spray pattern can be adjusted by loosening the air cap ring F (Fig SG 6) and rotating the

air cap E (Fig SG 6) and then retightening nozzle ring F (Fig SG 6). During most painting

applications however, this adjustment will not be required as the position shown is

usually suitable.

8) The width of the spray pattern or ‘fan’ can be adjusted by rotating the adjustment knob C

(Fig SG 6)

9) The volume of paint/material sprayed can be adjusted using the adjustment knob D (Fig SG 6)

10) By adjusting the spray gun in the methods described above (7,8) the correct spray pattern can

be adjusted according to the size of item being sprayed and thickness of paint/finish required.

11) The spray gun is operated by pulling the trigger B (Fig SG 7). By pulling the trigger half way

compressed air only is passed through the nozzle, this facility is useful when you have finished

painting and want to clean the spray gun. When trigger B (Fig SG 8) is fully engaged material

is introduced and spray painting can begin.

12) During spraying release the vent valve H (Fig. SG 5) by rotating anti clockwise.

‘TOP TIPS’

Practice on an area of card, paper or scrap material to establish the correct pattern of spray and the correct quantity of material being applied. Never exceed the recommended air pressure as this will result in wastage and overspray. Do not spray too close to the item being painted. A distance of 7” -

9” (180mm-200mm) is normally ideal. When spraying panels and large items make sure that you keep the spray gun at a constant distance from the panel. Overlap each pass of the spray gun by at least 30% this will achieve an even paint finish.

MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING

After use the spray gun must be cleaned thoroughly. After disposing of any left over paint or material add a small quantity of paint thinners to paint cup and spray through the gun as described above paying attention to the same safety advice as described. This will clear the fl uid passages and allow further cleaning. To clean, disassemble the air cap and air cap ring E and F (Fig SG 1) and disassemble the needle assembly by completely unscrewing the material adjustment screw D (Fig.

SG 6). Pull the spring and needle assembly from the spray gun from this position . Thoroughly clean these items with a suitable cleaning fluid or thinners (refer to Manufacturers instructions). The fluid passage through socket I (Fig. SG 3) should also be cleaned. The needle packing seal is located behind the nut K (Fig SG 7) this can be released to gain access to the packing seal which should be lubricated periodically with petroleum jelly.

!

WARNING!

Always wear safety goggles, mask and gloves when using the sand blasting gun. Do not direct the sand blasting gun toward people or animals. Do not use the sand blasting gun on any items that may be damaged by the sand blasting process. Take care when using the sand blasting gun that sand or debris is not blown towards yourself or others.

USING THE SAND BLASTING GUN

1)

2)

3)

Connect the sand blasting gun to the air supply as shown on Page 3

Set the pressure regulator knob B as described on page 3 so that a value of 6 is set (the number 6 on the blue band aligns with the arrow on the knob). This represents a pressure of 6 BAR (90 PSI)

Switch on the air compressor and wait for the air compressor to build up to maximum pressure at which time the compressor automatically switches off. The sand blasting gun can now be used.

4) Twist the sand containing pot D (Fig. SB2) 1/4 turn to the left releasing the pot from the bayonet type

attachment.

5) Fill the sand containing pot D (Fig. SB2) with a suitable type of sand blasting sand which should be of the

required abrasiveness and must be thoroughly dry. (Sand available by mail order see enclosed order form)

6) Replace the sand containing pot D (Fig. SB2) onto the sand blasting gun by aligning the 3 studs on the top inside of the pot with the grooves on the sand containing pot lid located on the sand blasting gun E

(Fig. SB2). Push the sand containing pot D (Fig. SB2) onto the lid and twist to the right 1/4 turn to secure.

7) Operate the sand blasting gun by pulling trigger C (Fig. SB1).

8) The amount of sand used in the process can be adjusted by slackening locking nut B (Fig SB5) and rotating

the nozzle A (Fig. SB4). When the correct adjustment is achieved the position can be locked by securing

lock nut B (Fig. SB5).

Page 12

Note:

A.

Only use abrasive sand specifically prepared for use in sand blasting guns.

B.

The sand blasting gun consumes a large volume of compressed air. During normal use and

undertaking the tasks for which this kit is intended the sand blasting gun will perform satisfactorily

however, if used continuously then the pressure at the air compressor may fall and the sand blasting

gun will therefore not perform satisfactorily. In such an instance please wait for the air compressor to

re-build pressure to a maximum value before re-commencing work.

‘TOP TIPS’

Always protect the immediate area with suitable protective sheeting when working. This will assist with tidying up and will also allow the collection of the abrasive sand used so that it can be re-used (make certain that the sand does not become wet as this will render the sand unsuitable for use).

Create interesting effects on all kinds of glass, mirrors and ceramics using standard stencils and applying the sand blasting gun in a circular motion with the sand blasting gun approximately 3” - 4 “ away from the surface. Use a circular motion to create an even effect. Practice on a spare ceramic tile or scrap material.

Old cast iron items such as ornaments and tools can be cleaned very successfully using the sand blasting gun. Be careful not to use the sand blasting gun when a shiny type finish is required.

MAINTENANCE

Always store the sand blasting gun in a dry and clean environment. Do not use aggressive solvents/ cleaning materials when cleaning the sand blasting gun.
