6.1 Adjusting the desired Spray Setting (Fig. 4)
With the union nut (2) slightly unscrewed, turn the air cap (1) to the desired spray setting
position. Then tighten the union nut.
WARNING! Danger of injury! Never pull the trigger guard while adjusting the
air cap.
6.2 Adjusting the Material Volume (Fig. 5)
Set the material volume by turning the regulator on the trigger guard of the spray gun.
- turn to downside lower material volume.
+ turn to upside higher material volume.
6.3 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.
 Correct (Fig. 6a): Be sure to hold the spray gun at an even distance of approx. 10 – 30 cm
to the target object.
 Incorrect (Fig. 6b): Heavy spray fog build-up, uneven surface quality.
 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 (A) and air cap (B) (Fig. 7), clean both parts
with a solvent or water.
6.4 Interruption of work up till 4 hours max.
 Turn the machine off.
 When processing 2-component varnishes, clean the device immediately.
7 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.
 Unplug the power plug. Vent the container in case of longer breaks and after the work has
been terminated. 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.
 Divide the spray gun. Press the unlock button (Fig. 8 A) downwards.
