7 USE

7.1 Preparation of the coating material

Before spraying, the material being used may need to be thinned with the proper solvent as

specified by the material manufacturer.

Never exceed the thinning advice given by the coating manufacturer.

Note: Material to be sprayed should always be strained to remove any

impurities in the paint which may enter and clog the system. Impurities in

the paint will give poor performance and a poor finish.

7.2 Thinning chart (Fig. 2)

 Hold the test cup up and measure the time in seconds until the liquid empties out. This

time is called "Runout Time in Seconds".

Note : stir the spraying material thoroughly before measuring and fill into

the canister.

8 START-UP

Before connecting to the mains supply, be sure that the supply voltage is identical with the

value given on the rating plate.

 Unscrew the container from the spray gun.

 Aligning suction tube (Fig. 3).

 The container contents are to be sprayed out almost completely. When spraying horizontal

surfaces, turn suction tube forward (A). When spraying objects overhead, turn suction tube

back (B).

 Pour in the prepared coating material and screw the container tightly onto the spray gun.

 Mounting air hose. Insert the air hose coupler tightly in the connections on the machine

and the spray gun (Fig. 4).

 Adjust the spray setting on the spray gun.

 Three different spray jet settings can be chosen on the spray gun, depending on the

application and target object.

the arrowhead towards the boss on the tip (Fig. 5D, B).

 Push the ON / OFF switch on the machine and start painting (Fig. 6).
