Preparation of the Coating Material

• 

Mix the material well in the original container. When using interior wall paint, an 

agitator is recommended.

i

The viscosity (thickness) of your paint may need thinning before spraying. Start 

with a 10% dilution. Stir well. If further thinning is required dilute by 5% and 

continue stirring until the finish of chosen coating is satisfactory.
Some units are supplied with a cup to measure the viscosity of coating material.
Fill the cup with coating material and allow to pour through. The flow of the 

coating will change from continuous to broken. Time how long this 

takes and use the table below as a guide to reach satisfactory viscosity.

To thin paint, add water to water-based paints and white spirit to oil-based 

paints.

Spray material that is at least at room temperature provides a better spray 

result. 

10. Start-up

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

the value given on the rating plate.  

Put the machine down only on a level, clean surface, otherwise it may suck in dust, etc.
1.   Remove the Paint Container (Fig. 1, 3) 

Aligning suction tube. (Fig. 2)   

If the suction tube is positioned correctly, the container contents can be sprayed 

almost without any residue.    

When spraying downwards, turn suction tube forward. (Fig. 2 A)    

When spraying objects overhead, turn suction tube back. (Fig. 2 B)

2.   Set the container on a sheet of paper, pour in the prepared coating material. Tighten 

the container onto the spray gun.

3.   Mount the air hose (Fig. 3). Insert the air hose firmly into the connection of the unit 

(Fig. 3 B) and the gun handle (Fig. 3 A). The position of the hose is not relevant.

4.   Press the ON/OFF switch.
