SPRAYING TECHNIQUE
The FC 3500 has a trigger with 2 pressure points.
The turbine is started via the first pressure point. If
the trigger is pressed further, the material is trans-
ported.
Operate trigger on the spray gun.
Test spray a piece of cardboard to ensure correct setting of the
spray pattern, spray jet width, material and air volume.
Hold the paint spray gun upright and maintain a constant
distance of about 3 - 20 cm to the object being sprayed. (Fig.
10)
Move the paint spray gun evenly either from side to side or up
and down. If the gun is moved evenly, it will produce an even
surface finish.
Always start spraying away from the object and avoid stopping
spraying whilst still on the object.
In case of excessive paint mist formation, adjust the air and
material flow respectively and alter the distance from the
object.

In order to ensure smooth operations, the FC 3500
has to be cleaned thoroughly every day.
1. Divide the spray gun. Press catch (Fig. 2, A) down slightly.
Twist the spray attachment and turbine in a counter
movement to disconnect them from each other.
ATTENTION! Never hold the spray gun
rear part under water or immerse it into
liquids. Clean the housing only with a
moistened cloth.
2. Unscrew the container.
Empty the remaining coating material into the original
container.
3. Pre-clean the container and feed tube using a
brush and suitable cleaning agent.
Clean the ventilating bore. (Fig. 9, 2)
4. Fill the container with a non-flammable solvent or
water. Screw the container back on.
Do not spray flammable materials for cleaning purposes.
When cleaning devices with flammable
solvents, disconnect the device from the
mains and clean thoroughly with a brush
and cloth. Before starting the device up
again, ensure that all traces of solvents
are removed thoroughly. Allow the clea-
ned parts to dry completely.
5. Connect spray attachment and gun handle. (Fig. 2)
6. Pull the trigger to rinse the spray attachment.
Repeat the above procedure until the solvent or water
emerging from the nozzle is clear.
