METACAP Spray Gun D/A
8-18
Version/Edition July 2008
An infinite number of variants are possible between the indicated settings 1,
2, and 3.
The quantity of coating material coming out of the spray gun can be adjusted
by turning the knurled screw (1/38).
—
counterclockwise: more material
—
clockwise: less material
Attention!
Please, take into account that you always adjust the material quantity
simultaneously when modifying the width or shape of the spray beam.
Always adjust the spray beam only as wide as required to avoid a nuisance
or possible danger caused by coating material splashes.
Depending on the coating material used, spray beam widths of about 5 mm
up to 200 mm are adjustable.

Spray Process
The required spray beam has been correctly adjusted by spraying a test
object. This process might not be necessary in case of trained operators.
Such experienced users may adjust the spray beam directly on the work
piece.
—
Always keep the spray gun vertical to the work piece surface. If you
move or incline the spray gun in a bow shaped way, the coating material
will be irregularly applied. The spraying distance should not exceed
approx. 200 mm.
—
Spray all edges first. Let approx. 50% of each applied spray beam
overlap. Actuate the trigger handle (1/33) only shortly before reaching
the edge of the surface to be sprayed. Move your spray gun with
continuous velocity over the surface and then release the trigger handle.
Repeat all these steps for the application of the following spray beam in
the counter direction.
Attention!
If there are any holes, grids, or the like within the work piece, place a plate
behind these orifices allowing the air jacket to build up for catching misled
coating material overspray.
Avoid an unintentional spraying of coating material by switching off the air
and material pressure and by releasing the residual pressure when the spray
gun is not used.
