MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Turn off the air and paint flow to the spray gun and relieve the pressure by pressing the trigger
before disassembly, cleaning and/or carrying out a service.
The spray gun contains sharp parts – risk of injury.
The product must only be dismantled by persons who have received proper training.
1.
Pour remaining paint into another container and clean the paint ducts and air cap. Spray a small
amount of solvent to clean the paint ducts. Inadequate cleaning can cause incorrect patterns
and/or particles in the paint. Thoroughly clean the spray gun immediately after using two-
component paint.
2.
Clean the other parts with solvent, the brush provided and a cloth.
3.
Clean the paint ducts fully before dismantling the spray gun. Remove the nozzle with a screwdriver.
4.
Remove the paint needle before removing the paint nozzle, or hold the needle retracted, otherwise
the seat may be damaged.
5.
Insert the paint needle and screw on the paint needle seal by hand. Tighten carefully with a
spanner. Adjust the seal while you press in the trigger and check how the paint needle moves. Do
not overtighten as this makes the paint needle move slower, which will result in leakage from the
nozzle tip. If this is the case, loosen anti-clockwise until the needle moves freely without paint
leakage.
6.
Turn the pattern knob anti-clockwise to the fully open position and screw in the pattern guide in the
body.
IMPORTANT
Never immerse the spray gun in solvent or other fluid.
Be careful never to damage the holes in air cap, paint nozzle or paint needle.
