Setting the Amount of Air (Fig. 7, item 1)
Depending on the viscosity of the material to be sprayed and the finish of the object to be
coated, it may be advisable to vary the amount of air. Very low viscosity materials, such as
watery glazes do not have to be atomised with the maximum amount of air. In this case it
is advisable to reduce the amount of air and thus minimize the spray vapour.
This also applies for the use of the low-scale and radiator/detail spray attachment
(accessory).

Spray Technique
•
The spray result depends heavily on the smoothness and cleanliness of the surface to be
sprayed. Therefore the surface should be carefully prepared and kept free of dust.
•
Cover all surfaces not to be sprayed.
•
Cover screw threads or similar parts of the target object.
•
It is advisable to test the spray gun on cardboard or a similar surface to find the correct
setting.
Important: Begin spraying outside of the target area and avoid interruptions inside the
target area.
•
The spray movement should come from the arm, not just from the wrist. This ensures that
a uniform distance is maintained between the spray gun and the spray surface during the
spray operation. Select a distance of 5 - 15 cm, depending on the desired spray jet width.
Fig. 10 A: CORRECT: Even distance to the object.
Fig. 10 B: INCORRECT: Uneven distance causes uneven coating.
•
Move the spray gun evenly cross-wise or up-and-down, depending on the spray pattern
setting.
•
An even movement of the spray gun results in an even surface quality.
•
When coating material builds up on the nozzle and air cap (Fig. 10), clean both parts
with a solvent or water.
Interruption of Work till 4 Hours
•
Turn the machine off.
•
Vent the container. This can be done by briefly turning open and then closing the container
or by pulling the trigger guard and letting the paint into the original paint container.
•
Insert the spray gun into the gun holder.
•
When processing 2-component varnishes, clean the device immediately.
Taking Out of Operation and Cleaning
Proper cleaning is the prerequisite for problem-free operation of the paint application
device. No warranty claims are accepted in case of improper or no cleaning.
1)
Turn the machine off.
2)
Divide the spray gun. Press the hook (Fig. 6 "click") slightly downwards. Turn the gun
front part and gun rear part against each other.
3)
ATTENTION: Never hold the gun handle under water or immerse it into liquids.
Clean the housing only with a moistened cloth.
4)
Unscrew the container. Empty any remaining coating material back into the material
tin.
