3 spray patterns
By slightly loosening the Air Cap Ring (1) (at the front) you can turn the Air Cap (2) a little and obtain 3
different spray patterns (Fig. 3):
Horizontal and Vertical Spray
Horizontal and Vertical for normal sized jobs.
Round Spray
Round for small and precise jobs.
The most commonly used technique for painting a wall is the ‘criss-cross’ technique, i.e. you apply the
product in horizontal lines and then cross over these lines by applying the product in vertical lines (Fig. 4):
1) Adjust the Air Cap (2) to obtain a Vertical spray, then pull the Trigger (7), and move your arm across to
>
the right.
2) When you get to the end of the line, release the Trigger (7) for a moment and then apply the product in
>
the opposite direction just beneath the line you have sprayed.
3)Proceed in this manner applying the product in Horizontal lines one underneath the other.
4)Next, adjust the Air Cap (2) to obtain a Horizontal spray and apply the product in horizontal lines
>
over the lines you have just sprayed.
Release the trigger to avoid overspraying which will cause the product to run.
Cross over the horizontal lines (sprayed with a Vertical pattern) with vertical lines (sprayed with a
Horizontal pattern). Only the forearm must move not the wrist.

VERY IMPORTANT!
When spraying for the first time, we recommend that you always leave the motor to
run for 1 to 2 minutes before applying the product. Do not forget that the Fluid Adjusting Screw (10)
controls the quantity of paint sprayed. For instance the more the Fluid Adjusting Screw (10) is tightened
the less paint is sprayed.
IMPORTANT:
Each Fluid Needle is manufactured to fit the size of the corresponding Fluid Tip. Do not try
to fit a 2.0mm Fluid Needle to a 3.0mm Fluid Tip.
• NEVER DISPOSE OF PAINTS OR SOLVENTS DOWN THE DRAIN. ALWAYS USE
YOUR LOCAL WASTE COLLECTION SITE.
• The motor unit itself does not require any specific maintenance apart from checking that the Filter (18)
>>
is not clogged up (the filter can be removed and washed). The filter can be found in a cassette at the
>>
front of the motor unit.
