5.1 Spray gun assembly (Fig. 2/3/4)
•
The trigger unit (14) is attached to the handle
(15) with the gun mounting bayonet connec-
tor (7).
•
Open the locking lever (4).
•
Twist and insert the trigger unit (14) into the
handle.
•
Close the locking lever.
•
Insert the material tube (11) into the material
tube connection (10).
•
Screw the container into the trigger unit.
6. Operation
6.1 Material preparation
The paint usually has to be thinned before it can
be used in the spray gun. Instructions on how to
thin the paint for spraying are not always printed
on the paint tin. You should use the viscosity table
as a guide (viscosity = consistency of the paint).
6.1.1 Measuring the viscosity (Fig. 5)
1. Mix the material thoroughly before measuring.
2. Completely immerse the viscosity cup (8) into
the material.
3. Then lift the viscosity cup (8) out of the mix-
ture and use a stopwatch to measure the time
it takes for all of the material to
fl
ow through
the cup. As soon as the continuous
fl
ow out
of the bottom is interrupted, stop the timer.
Repeat until you have the viscosity you need.
This is the „Draining time in seconds“. (See 11.
Viscosity Table)
6.1.2 Nozzle diameter
The size of the nozzle and
fl
uid needle to use
depends on the viscosity of the material. Depen-
ding on the viscosity, use the 2.0 mm dia. nozzle
(colour red, for lower viscosity) or the 2.5 mm dia.
nozzle (colour: black, for higher viscosity). The
fl
uid needle in the gun is suitable for both nozzle
diameters.
6.2 Working with the paint spray gun (Fig. 6)
Note! Cover all surfaces which must be protected
from the spray, even areas which are further away
from the place where you are working. A
fi
ne mist
from the spray gun can spread to areas in the
wider surroundings indoors and outdoors, and the
material will be deposited on surfaces there.
•
Unscrew the container (12) from the paint
spray gun.
•
Align the material tube (11) for the object you
are working on.
•
Spaying on horizontal objects: Rotate the ma-
terial tube (11) towards the front.
•
Spaying on raised objects: Rotate the materi-
al tube (11) towards the rear.
•
Never continue spraying until the container
is completely empty. If the material tube no
longer reaches the spray material, the spray
flow will be interrupted and the coverage on
the surface will be uneven.
•
Once you have performed the viscosity mea-
surement as described in 6.1.1, place the
container (12) on some paper, pour in the ma-
terial you have prepared and tightly screw the
container (12) back into the paint spray gun.
•
The paint spray gun may only be set down
on a clean, even surface. Otherwise it may
tip over.
•
After each cleaning (see 8.1) or change of fan
pattern (see 6.3), tighten the air cap retaining
ring (1) to prevent material from leaking out
between the air cap retaining ring and the air
cap (2).
6.3 Adjusting the fan pattern (Fig. 7)
You can set the paint spray gun to produce three
di
ff
erent fan patterns to suit your needs.
Loosen the air cap retaining ring (1) and rotate
the air cap (2) to the desired position. Re-tighten
the air cap retaining ring.
Selecting the fan pattern:
A: vertical fan
-> for horizontal surfaces
B: horizontal fan
-> for vertical surfaces
C: Round fan
-> for corners, edges and surfaces that are dif-
fi
cult to access
Risk of injury!
Never press the trigger while you are adjusting
the jet.
6.4 Adjusting the material

ow (Fig. 8)
You can rotate the max. paint volume control to
regulate the material

ow.
