Spray Technique
The spray result depends heavily on the smoothness and cleanliness of the surface to be sprayed.
Therefore the surface should be carefully prepared and kept free of dust.
Cover all surfaces not to be sprayed.
Cover screw threads or similar parts of the target object.
It is advisable to test the spray gun on cardboard or a similar surface to find the correct setting.
Important: Begin spraying outside of the target area and avoid interruptions inside the target area.
Correct (Fig. 6a). Be sure to hold the spray gun at an even distance of approx. 10
– 30 cm to the target
object.
Incorrect (Fig. 6b) Heavy spray fog build-up, uneven surface quality.
Move the spray gun evenly cross-wise or up-and-down, depending on the spray pattern setting.
An even movement of the spray gun results in an even surface quality.
When coating material builds up on the nozzle (A) and air cap (B) (Fig. 7), clean both parts.
Cleaning
Proper cleaning is the prerequisite for problem-free operation of the paint application device. No
warranty claims are accepted in case of improper or no cleaning.

over 55°C.
6) Assemble the gun again.
7) Insert the power plug, turn on the machine and spray the solvent or water into a container or a cloth.
8) Repeat the above procedure until the solvent or water emerging from the nozzle is clear.
9) Turn off the machine and remove the plug.
10) clean the outside of the spray gun and container with a cloth soaked in solvent or water.
