Spraying Techniques; Important - EINHELL TC-SY 18/60 Li Mode D'emploi

takes for all of the material to fl ow through the
cup. As soon as the continuous fl ow out of the
bottom is interrupted, stop the timer. Repeat
until you have the viscosity you need.
This is the "Draining time in seconds". (See 10.
Viscosity Table)
6.1.2 Nozzle diameter
The size of the nozzle and fl uid needle to be
used depends on the viscosity of the material.
Depending on the viscosity, use the 2.0 mm
dia. nozzle (colour: red, for lower viscosity) or
the 2.5 mm dia. nozzle (colour: black, for higher
viscosity). The fl uid needle in the gun is suitable
for both nozzle diameters.
6.2 Working with the paint spray gun (Fig. 6)
Important! Cover all surfaces which must be
protected from the spray, even areas which
are further away from the place where you are
working. A fi ne mist from the spray gun can
spread to areas in the wider surroundings indoors
and outdoors, and the material will be deposited
on surfaces there.
•
Unscrew the container (12) from the paint
spray gun.
•
Align the material tube (11) for the object you
are working on.
•
Spaying on horizontal objects: Rotate the
material tube (11) towards the front.
•
Spaying on raised objects: Rotate the
material tube (11) towards the rear.
•
Never continue spraying until the container
is completely empty. If the material tube no
longer reaches the spray material, the spray
flow will be interrupted and the coverage on
the surface will be uneven.
•
Once you have performed the viscosity
measurement as described in 6.1.1, place
the container (12) on some paper, pour in the
material you have prepared and tightly screw
the container (12) back into the paint spray
gun.
•
The paint spray gun is allowed to be placed
only on a clean, even surface. Otherwise it
might tip over.
•
After each cleaning (see 7.1) or change of fan
pattern (see 6.3), tighten the air cap retaining
ring (1) to prevent material from leaking out
between the air cap retaining ring and the air
cap (2).

6.3 Adjusting the fan pattern (Fig. 7)
You can set the paint spray gun to produce three
diff erent fan patterns to suit your needs.
Loosen the air cap retaining ring (1) and rotate
the air cap (2) to the desired position. Re-tighten
the air cap retaining ring.
Selecting the fan pattern:
A: Vertical fan
-> for horizontal surfaces
B: Horizontal fan
-> for vertical surfaces
C: Round cone
-> for corners, edges and surfaces that are
diffi cult to access
Risk of injury!
Never press the trigger while you are adjusting
the jet.
6.4 Adjusting the material fl ow (Fig. 8)
You can rotate the max. paint volume control (6)
to regulate the material fl ow.
- Direction -> lower material fl ow
+ Direction -> higher material fl ow

6.5 Spraying techniques

•
The results you get depend on how smooth
and clean the surface is. The surface must be
carefully prepared and free of dust.
•
Surfaces, threads, etc. which should not be
sprayed must be covered.
•
Always set the spray gun down on cardboard
or something similar. You can use the
cardboard as a target to properly adjust the
spray gun.

Important:

Always begin spraying outside of the area to be
sprayed and avoid interrupting spraying inside the
area to be sprayed.
•
Wrong (Fig. 9): If you only rotate the spray
gun from side to side, the gun will produce a
heavy mist and the coverage will be uneven.
•
Right (Fig. 10): Always hold the spray gun
at the same distance (about 2-6") from the
surface you are working on.
•
Move the spray gun uniformly laterally or up
and down depending on the fan pattern.
•
Uniform motion of the spray gun produces
uniform finish quality.
•
If material residue remains on the nozzle
