Measuring the Viscosity
Dip the viscosity test cup (Illus. 1) completely into the spray material. Hold the test cup up
and measure the time (in seconds) until the liquid empties out. Compare the measured
"runout time" with the Viscosity Table.
Start-up
Before connecting to the mains supply, please be sure that the supply voltage is identical
with the value given on the rating plate (on the side of the spray gun).
1) Dilute the spray material according to the above table.
2) Place the container on a sheet of paper and fill it with the prepared spray material.
Attention! Do not operate the spray gun without spray material in the
container; this can lead to increased wear of the pump!
3) Position the spray gun on the container and turn the container to the right until the
container fits tightly (Illus. 2, arrow).
4) Activate the switch to start up the spray gun.
First the spray gun sucks in spray material, then after a few seconds the material emerges
from the nozzle. To accelerate the intake, turn the fine adjustment button to maximum.
5) By turning the fine adjustment button you can vary the spray amount (Illus.3,arrow).
Regulating with the fine adjustment button influences the spray pattern
i
depending on the spray material and the degree of dilution.
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 areas that are not to be sprayed. When working keep in mind that wind, for example,
may transport paint mist over great distances and cause damage.
•
Do not spray the vessel empty. The suction tube should always be immersed in liquid.
If air is sucked in, larger drops may result.
•
Test the spray gun on cardboard or a similar surface to find the correct setting.
•
When spraying, hold the spray gun in a horizontal position. Use the flexible nozzle
extension (Illus. 7, special accessories) for spraying upwards (e.g. a ceiling) or
downwards (e.g. an unhinged door laid on the floor).
