4. USE OF THE MACHINE (continued)
4.2. ATOMIZATION
1. Prepare the surface to be painted (sanding, cleaning, etc...).
2.
Fill the bowl with paint (around 3/4 of the bowl). For more ease, put the bowl onto the (H) support.
3. Mount the spray-gun body onto the spray-gun.
4. Connect the hose on the (I) coupling on the turbine side and the (D) coupling on the spray-gun side.
5.
Connect the turbine electrically and press the switch (J).
6. For an optimal atomization, hold the spray-gun as horizontal a possible. The paint jet has to be
perpendicular to the surface to be painted, with a distance of about 20 cm.
7. Proceed by crossed sections, horizontal and vertical, directing the diffuser head as needed.
8.
Move the spray-gun with an uniform movement and a regular speed. Release the trigger at the end
of each section.
9. To avoid bleeding, press the trigger only after having begun the movement of the spray-gun.
10. Do not try to cover everything in one layer, prefer applying a second one.
During utlization, use the potentiometer (K) to increase or decrease the air flow-rate into the
turbine.
So that the paint is at the ideal viscosity, use the viscosimeter delivered with the turbine.
Dilute a part of the paint with the appropriate thinner.
Fill the viscosimeter to the top and let the liquid flow and monitor the time it takes until the trickle
of paint becomes discontinuous.
Check to see if the time corresponds to the indications in the table below:
- if the time is longer, increase the dilution
- if the time is shorter, add more paint

If the movement is too rapid, the risk of a paint lack will be important. If, otherwise, the
movement is too slow, bleeding may occur.
