Spraying technique
Hold the paint spray gun upright and maintain a constant
distance of about 3 - 20 cm to the object being sprayed.
Move the paint spray gun evenly either from side to side or up
and down. If the gun is moved evenly, it will produce an even
surface finish. No runs will occur if the speed is correct.
Always start spraying away from the object and avoid stopping
spraying whilst still on the object.
Note:
If the round jet setting is used, the distance may be
increased according to the size of the object being sprayed.
• In case of excessive paint mist formation, adjust
the air and material flow respectively and alter the
distance from the object.

Finishing work and cleaning the unit
1. Switch the unit off.
2. Hold the paint spray gun in the original container. Press
the trigger to release the pressure in the spray gun
container.
3. Undo the paint container closing lever and remove the
container.
4. Empty the remaining coating material into the original
container.
5. Fill the spray gun container with solvent or water and fit
onto the spray gun.
Only use solvents with a flash point above 21 °C.
6. Shake the paint spray gun well.
7. Switch the unit on and spray the solvent or water into an
open container.
Caution! Never spray into a container with only a
small opening (bunghole)! See safety regulations.
8. Repeat this procedure until the solvent or water coming
out of the tip is clear.
Then empty the paint container completely.
Caution! Never leave solvents in the spray gun
container; this may cause pressure to build up in the
container.
Always keep the paint container seal clean of left over
coating material and check regularly for signs of damage.
