Safety instructions for fine spray systems
• Keep your work area clean, well lit and free of
paint or solvent containers, rags and other com-
bustible materials. Potential danger of spontane-
ous combustion. Keep fully functioning fire extinguis-
hers / extinguishing equipment available at all times.
• Ensure good ventilation in the spraying area and
sufficient quantities of fresh air through-out the
room. Evaporating flammable solvents create an ex-
plosive environment.
• Do not spray or clean with materials with a flash-
point below 21°C. Use materials on the basis of
water, lowvolatile hydrocarbons or similar mate-
rials. Highly volatile evaporating solvents create
an explosive environment. Do not spray in the
area of ignition sources such as static electrici-
ty sparks, open flames, pilot lights, hot objects,
motors, cigarettes and sparks from inserting and
disconnecting power cords or the operation of
switches. Such sources of sparks can lead to igniti-
on of the surrounding area.
• Do not spray any materials for which it is not
known whether they pose a danger. Unknown
materials can create dangerous conditions.
• Wear additional personal protective equipment
such as appropriate protective gloves and pro-
tective masks or respirators when spraying or
handling chemicals. The wearing of protective
equipment in such conditions reduces exposure to
harmful substances.
• Do not spray on yourself, other people or ani-
mals. Keep hands and other body parts away
from the spray jet. If the spray penetrates the
skin, seek medical help immediately. The material
being sprayed can even penetrate the skin through
a glove and be injected into your body.
• Do not treat an injection as a simple cut. A high
pressure jet may inject toxins into the body and
cause serious injuries. If the spray is injected into
the skin, seek medical help immediately.
• Pay attention to any possible dangers of the
material being sprayed. Note the markings on
the container or the manufacturer's information
relating to the material being sprayed, including
the instruction to use personal protective equip-
ment. The manufacturer's in-structions must be
followed to reduce the risk of fire, as well as injuries
caused by toxins, carcinogens, etc.
• Never spray without the nozzle head in place.
The use of a special nozzle insert with the approp-
riate nozzle head reduces the probability of a high-
pressure jet penetrating the skin and injecting toxins
into the body.
Initial use
HVLP properties
This device uses an HVLP system (High Volume Low
Pressure). It ensures the increased application of
(paint) materials with lower consumption.
Important: Do not exceed the maximum working
pressure of 3 bar.
Connecting the device
• Operate the product only with cleaned, condensa-
te- and oil-free compressed air and never exceed
the maximum working air pressure at the device of
3 bar.
• The compressed air source must be fitted with a (fil-
ter) / pressure reducer so that the air pressure can
be regulated.

In order to operate this device you require a flexible
compressed air hose with quick-release coupling and
an appropriate source of compressed air. Observe the
operating and safety instructions of the compressed
air source and any special instructions concerning
paint preparation.
Note: Ensure the correct working pressure. An exces-
sive working pressure leads to increased fine disper-
sion and results in too rapid evaporation of the liquid.
The surfaces become rough and develop poor adhesi-
on properties. If the working pressure is too low on the
other hand, the paint material is not sufficiently ato-
mised. Undulating surfaces and the formation of drops
are the result.
• Connect the compressed air hose with the rapid-re-
lease coupling to the compressed air connection (6)
of the device. This automatically locks into place.
• Use the filter pressure reducer of the compressed
air source to set the working pressure to 3 bar.
Preparing the spraying surface
• Mask off the surroundings of the spraying surface
thoroughly over a wide area. Otherwise all nonco-
vered areas or surfaces may become soiled.
• Make sure that the spraying surface is clean, dry
and free of grease.
• Roughen smooth surfaces and then remove the san-
ding dust.
Turning the device On / Off
Working Instructions:
• Insert the filter in the gun (see Fig. C).
• When working with the device you should open the
vent (1) .
• When diluting the material, make sure that the
spraying material and the dilution are suitable for
one another. If an incorrect dilution is used, lumps
may form and clog the gun as a result.
• Screw the flow cup (3) clockwise firmly on to the
gun.
• Fill the spraying material into the flow cup (3) and
screw the lid (2) on tight.
• Always hold the paint spray gun at the same dis-
tance from the object. The ideal spraying distance is
approximately 15 cm.
• Determine the appropriate settings in each case by
experimenting.
• Do not turn the device on / off when it is over the
spraying surface, but start and end the spraying pro-
cess approximately 10 cm outside of the spraying
area.
• Press the trigger (8) to start spraying and keep it
held down.
• In order to stop spraying, release the trigger (8)
again.
Adjusting the paint jet
The device has the settings round and broad jet.
Round jet
Adjusting the round jet:
• Use the round jet, for example, for small surfaces,
corners and edges.
• Turn the regulator (5) in a clockwise direction .
Adjusting the broad jet:
• Use the broad jet vertically and horizontally over lar-
ger areas.
Broad jet
