– Stir the spray material thoroughly.
Using spray material at room temperature will yield a bet-
ter spray pattern.
– Dilute the spray material if necessary.
If the spray test does not produce a good spray pattern,
dilute in 5 % increments until an optimal spray pattern is
achieved.

Filling the spray material (see figures C1–C2)
Note: Remove the air hose (19) before pouring in spray ma-
terial (quarter turn of the bayonet lock (20) anticlockwise;
pull the bayonet lock (20) out of the port (9)).
– When using large buckets, pour the spray material into a
smaller transfer bucket (13) if necessary (e.g. 10 l wall
paint into an empty 2.5 or 5.0 l bucket).
– Hold the spray gun in place with one hand and
use the other hand to turn the container (7)
towards the open symbol.
– Pull the spray gun off the container (7).
– If you are using already opened spray material, place the
thoroughly cleaned filling sieve (12) on the container (7)
to hold back any lumps of paint when pouring in.
– Pour the spray material into the container (7) up to no
more than the 1000 mark.
– Put the spray gun on the container (7). Turn
the container (7) towards the close symbol
until you hear the lock ring (6) engage.
– Carry out a test-spray run on a test surface.
If the spray pattern is optimal, you can begin spraying.

Working Advice

Spraying (see figures E–H)
Note: Pay attention to the wind direction when you are using
the power tool outdoors.
– Firstly, carry out a spray test and adjust the spray pattern
– Make sure to hold the spray gun with a uniform clearance
– Begin the spraying procedure outside the target area.
– Move the spray gun evenly horizontally or vertically ac-
– When spraying horizontal objects or spraying overhead,
– Avoid interruptions when spraying the target area.
Guiding the spray gun evenly will provide uniform surface
quality.
A non-uniform spraying angle and distance will lead to heavy
formation of paint mist and consequently an uneven surface.
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool.
Make sure that the base unit cannot draw in dust or
other contamination during operation.
Make sure never to spray on the base unit.
Stop spraying if fluid escapes from places other than
the intended nozzle during spraying, and restore the
spray gun to its proper condition. There is a risk of elec-
tric shock.
Do not direct the fine-spray system against yourself,
other persons or animals.

An even surface quality can be achieved when the spray
