 circulation).

  4.  Switch the unit (5) ON.

  5.  Wait until the coating material exudes from the return 

hose.

  6.  Close the relief valve, valve position SPRAY (

p

 spray).

  7.  Trigger the spray gun several times and spray into a 

collecting container until the coating material exits the 

spray gun without interruption.

  8.  Increase the pressure by slowly turning up the pressure 

control knob.

  Check the spray pattern and increase the pressure until 

the atomization is correct.

  Always turn the pressure control knob to the lowest setting 

with good atomization.

  9.  The unit is ready to spray.

Spraying technique

Injection hazard.  Do not spray without the tip 

guard in place.  NeVeR trigger the gun unless 

the tip is completely turned to either the spray 

or the unclog position.  ALWAyS engage the 

gun trigger lock before removing, replacing or 

cleaning tip.

The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the entire 

surface.  Keep your arm moving at a constant speed and keep 

the spray gun at a constant distance from the surface.  The best 

spraying distance is 25 to 30 cm between the spray tip and the 

surface.  

25 - 30 cm

Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface.  This means 

moving your entire arm back and forth rather than just flexing 

your wrist.

Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise one 

end of the pattern will be thicker than the other.

Trigger gun after starting the stroke.  Release the trigger before 

ending the stroke.  The spray gun should be moving when the 

trigger is pulled and released.  Overlap each stroke by about 

30%.  This will ensure an even coating.

If very sharp edges result or if there are streaks 

in the spray jet – increase the operating pressure 

or dilute the coating material.
