▪
Rinse all parts well after intensive cleaning and dry the spray gun. Assemble the gun. Fill a
small amount of paint thinner into the paint container and blow it with compressed air
through the spray gun.
Maintenance and Care
▪ To ensure proper functionality and a long lifetime, diligent
lubrication and maintenance are essential.
▪ Use a suitable silicone free grease to grease all moving parts of
the spray gun as well as the thread of the paint flow regulator (1c)
and the paint needle spring that is located behind it. Also grease
the visible piece of the air piston rod.
▪ Keep in mind that nozzles, joints and gaskets, setting screws, etc.
are parts subject to regular wear and tear and have to be replaced by original spare parts
after regular use.
▪ For operating pneumatic tools clean air is required. Corrosion residues, dust and dirt from
the pneumatic pipes reduce the efficiency of the tool and will cause technical problems.
▪ The air tool requires clean and oil-free air. Therefore, do not use an oil-fog lubricator within
the air supply system.
▪ If possible, only use compressed air hoses for the air supply that previously have not been
used with other air tools which required an oil-fog lubrication system.
▪ If necessary clean the air tool and the accessory with a moist cloth.
▪ Do not use abrasive or aggressive chemicals as benzene or thinner, which may dissolve
plastic parts.
▪ Do not allow liquids to enter the tool and never immerse it into liquids. Water in the
compressed air inlet can damage the machine. Therefore it is recommended to drain the air
lines and the compressor in regular intervals! Also clean the air filters in regular intervals.
Air Pressure and Air Volume
▪ Operate the air spray gun with a pressure of 3 bar. When using higher pressure for operating
the air tool, its self-life will be reduced drastically.
