If you have a problem with this product contact your local CLARKE dealer. COMPRESSED AIRLINE REQUIREMENTS Your air texture gun comes complete with 4 different size nozzles. The larger the nozzle, the more compressed air is required and a minimum of 6.5 cfm will be required from the compressor if the largest nozzle is being used. Ensure your compressor is able to supply sufficient air pressure for the gun. The air supply to the spray gun must be clean and dry, without any oil or water contamination. Follow the air compressor operating guidelines to ensure that your air supply is as clean as possible. The compressed air supply line to the spray gun must be fitted with an oil and water filter and a suitable air pressure regulator. Connect the air supply to the spra y gun using a suitable 1/4” BSP fitting. If an unusually long airline is required, the line pressure may need to be increased. Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source. A build-up of moisture in the ai r compressor will accelerate wear and corrosion in the air tool. Ensure any moisture is drained from the compressor daily and the airline filter is kept clean. WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com If an unusually long air hose is required, (over 8 metres), the line pressure or the hose inside diameter may need to be increased. The air hose must be rated at least 150% of the maximum operating pressure of the air tool. A typical air line layout is shown ab ove. If an automatic in-line filter/ regulator is used, it will keep the tool in good condition, but should be regularly checked and topped up with oil. SAE 10 oil should be used, and the lubricator adjusted to approx 2 drops per minute. Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the air tool. Ensure that air pressure does not exceed that stated in the specification for the tool when running. Higher pressures and contaminated air will shorten the life of the air tool due to faster wear and is a possible safety hazard. OPERATION ASSEMBLY Assemble the texture spray gun as follows. The numbers in brackets refer to the Parts List & Parts Diagram on pages 10/11. 1. With the jubilee clip (5) around the hopper base loosened off, fit the hopper (1) to the gun body, pushing the hopper onto body neck, (the handle on hopper should be in line with the gun body). Tighten the clamp sufficiently to prevent the hopper from moving. 2. When spraying upwards towards a ce iling, the 45deg elbow (6) should be adjusted to keep the hopper in an upright position, securing it with both the jubilee clips. INSTALLING THE NOZZLE 1. To select a nozzle, prize off the retaining cap (27) and choose your nozzle from the selection stored inside the body of the gun. 2. Depending on the viscosity of the material to be sprayed, fit the appropriate nozzle, (e.g, 1.5mm and 2.7mm nozzles for medium viscosity materials and 3.5 mm nozzle for high viscosity materials), as follows.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com 3. Loosen the securing block (34), and remove the orifice plate (31). Unscrew the nozzle (18) currently fitted and screw the chosen nozzle onto the end of the inlet tube (30), taking care not to lose the white rubber seal ring (42) from inside the nozzle. Tighten the nozzle with the box spanner (28) stored inside the handle. Replace the orifice plate and securing block. NOTE: The largest (3.6 mm) nozzle cannot be tightened with the box spanner. Instead, the 4mm Allen key must be used. CONNECTING AND FILLING 1. Connect the air hose using an approp riate connector as necessary. An air regulator can be fitted to the gun first, which can be used to control the droplet size produced by the spray gun, turning clockwise to restrict the air flow. (The greater the flow, the smaller the droplet). 2. Turn the air supply on and check the functionality of the gun by squeezing the trigger before filling with paint etc. 3. Turn air off and fill hopper with materi al to be sprayed, (1.75 gallons max) Always mix the paint to the correct viscosity for spraying according to the manufacturer’s instructions. (DO NOT OVERFILL - the more paint the heavier the spray gun). 4. Hold the gun approximately 12” from wall to be covered, supporting the gun using the handle on the hopper. 5. Gently squeeze the trigger until resistan ce is felt whilst moving the gun from side to side. Check the coverage and change the orifice/nozzle size if necessary, or adjust the air flow regulator adjustment, if fitted. 6. Before using the gun, practice getting the feel of the trigger with the chosen settings. 7. The trigger stop can be used in order to select the same setting for repeat operations. Wait until the trigger is in the desired position before tightening the wingnut (8) to limit trigger movement. SPRAYING DIFFERENT MATERIALS The paint flow from the gun is adjustable. This is achieved by turning the orifice plate to a different setting and replacing the nozzle with one of a different size as above. If a pressure regulator is used this can also be adjusted to increase or reduce airflow, according to the material being sprayed.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com The following starting points are suggested. However, adjustment is partly trial and error, depending on the viscosity of the material and coverage required. Always take care that the paint material is free of lumps. Follow the manufacturers instructions when mixing materials. a When spraying acoustic panels, set the orifice plate to the third smallest size (5/16”) opening. b When spraying sand finish with dry- walling material, set the orifice plate to the smallest size (7/32”) opening. c When spraying orange peel texture, set the orifice plateto the third smallest size (7/32”) opening. Set the stop lock on the gun, so that the spraying nozzle is approx 1/16” from the orifice plate. This will reduce the amount of material flowing from the gun, causing it to leave an orange peel texture. d When spraying a splatter texture, use the air regulator to deliver approx 4- 6psi. Set the orifice plate to the third (5/16”) or fourth smallest size (1/4”) opening e The air texture gun can also spray gli tter if the material and gun are both kept dry. Approx 15 psi is recommended to apply glitter to panelling and 25-30 psi to cement and stucco surfaces. The glitter should be sprayed on while the underlying material is still tacky enough to receive it and to form an effective bond. MAINTENANCE After use, always clean the gun and hopper with clean water ready for the next use. It is essential that the spray gun is kept clean. Dried paint in the nozzle assembly or airways will stop the gun from working correctly. For the gun to perform at it’s best the moving parts should be lubricated regularly using a light machine oil. Use a couple of drops of oil inside the air inlet (35) to lubricate the inlet tube (30) and repeat this through the trigger WARNING: DISCONNECT THE SPRAY GUN FROM THE AIR SUPPLY AND RELIEVE ANY PRESSURE IN THE GUN AND HOSE BEFORE DISASSEMBLY.
Parts & Service: 020 8988 7400 / E-mail: Parts@clarkeinternational.com or Service@clarkeinternational.com stop slot and with the gun upside down, pull back the trigger and apply oil to the inlet tube. Remove all excess oil with a clean cloth. When re-assembling the gun after cleaning, adjust the trigger on the inlet tube, so that the nozzle protrudes 1/6” past the nose piece when the trigger is in the fully forward position, or it will not seat properly. (The small hexagonal wrench is provided for this purpose). Check that the front of the orifice plate bears against the front of the gun to avoid any leaks at this point. If leaks are observed around the gun body, replace the gaskets shown on pages 10 & 11. If this is not successful, use sealant between the two halves of the gun body to prevent leakage. CAUTION: Never use silicon based lubricants as this may cause damage to the paint finish. Do not overtighten components, and be careful not to cross thread any parts on re-assembly. Please be aware that certain parts of this spray gun will wear, requiring replacement and that these parts may not be covered by your guarantee. The wear on certain parts depends on the abrasive nature of the materials being sprayed. More abrasive materials such as latex paint (emulsions) will cause these parts to wear much faster. Use only Clarke replacement parts, available from your nearest Clarke dealer.
