Spraying coatings
CAUTION!
At all times it must be possible to flush components, which were contaminated by
mixed material,
within the given pot life
!
Apply the spray gun* safety catch if stopping work even for a few minutes.
➤
Disengage the safety and trigger the spray gun* to begin working.
Operating pressure
The optimal operating pressure is reached when an even coating thickness is achieved
without paint build-up on the rim of the spray pattern.
Only use enough pressure to achieve proper atomization at the recommended distance
of 30 - 40 cm (12 - 16 in.) between the gun and surface being coated.
➤
Excessive
spray pressure leads to higher paint consumption and overspray.
➤
Insufficient
spray pressure leads to fingering and varying coating thicknesses.
Spraying - Coating
Hold the spray gun* at a right angle (90°) to the surface of the object being coated. If the
gun is held at any other angle, the coating will be applied uneven and patchy.
Move your arm in an even motion
Maintain a constant speed and keep the spray gun* parallel to the object being coated.
Move the spray gun* using your arm and not your wrist.
Waving the spray gun* back and forth with the wrist leads to uneven coating results.
Already begin moving your arm before the spray gun* is triggered.
This will ensure an even coating with the spray jet and avoids excessive paint build-up
when the gun is first triggered.
Release the trigger before finishing the movement with your arm.
Stroke Counter (pos. 1.6)
At the beginning of work, press the reset button of the stroke counter in order to zero the
display.
While working, you can check the strokes and therefore calculate the amount of material
processed.
You can set the display back to zero by pressing the “RESET” button again.
