Operation

Warning!
Follow the safety precautions provided by the manufacturer of the material you want to spray.
Use suitable face masks, gloves and protective clothing.
6.1 Material preparation
The paint usually has to be thinned before it can be used in the spray gun. Instructions on how to thin the paint for spraying are not always printed on the paint tin. You should use the viscosity table as a guide (viscosity = consistency of the paint).
6.1.1 Measuring the viscosity (Fig. 5)

1. Mix the material thoroughly before measuring.
2. Completely immerse the viscosity cup (8) into the material.
3. Then lift the viscosity cup (8) out of the mixture and use a stopwatch to measure the time it takes for all of the material to flow through the cup. As soon as the continuous flow out

Warning!
Follow the safety precautions provided by the manufacturer of the material you want to spray.

6.1 Material preparation
The paint usually has to be thinned before it can be used in the spray gun. Instructions on how to thin the paint for spraying are not always printed on the paint tin. You should use the viscosity table as a guide (viscosity = consistency of the paint).
6.1.1 Measuring the viscosity (Fig. 5)

1. Mix the material thoroughly before measuring.
2. Completely immerse the viscosity cup (8) into the material.
3. Then lift the viscosity cup (8) out of the mixture and use a stopwatch to measure the time it takes for all of the material to flow through the cup. As soon as the continuous flow out of the bottom is interrupted, stop the timer. Repeat until you have the viscosity you need.

This is the „Draining time in seconds“. (See 10.Viscosity Table)
6.1.2 Nozzle diameter
The size of the nozzle and fluid needle to be used depends on the viscosity of the material. Depending on the viscosity, use the 2.0 mm dia. nozzle (colour: red, for lower viscosity) or the 2.5 mm dia. nozzle (colour: black, for higher viscosity). The fluid needle in the gun is suitable for both nozzle diameters.
6.2 Working with the paint spray gun (Fig. 6)
Important! Cover all surfaces which must be protected from the spray, even areas which are further away from the place where you are working. A fi ne mist from the spray gun can spread to areas in the wider surroundings indoors and outdoors, and the material will be deposited on surfaces there.

• Unscrew the container (12) from the paint spray gun.
• Align the material tube (11) for the object you are working on.
• Spaying on horizontal objects: Rotate the material tube (11) towards the front.
• Spaying on raised objects: Rotate the material tube (11) towards the rear.
• Never continue spraying until the container is completely empty. If the material tube no longer reaches the spray material, the spray flow will be interrupted and the coverage on the surface will be uneven.
• Once you have performed the viscosity measurement as described in 6.1.1, place the container (12) on some paper, pour in the material you have prepared and tightly screw the container (12) back into the paint spray gun.
• The paint spray gun is allowed to be placed only on a clean, even surface. Otherwise it might tip over.
• After each cleaning (see 7.1) or change of fan pattern (see 6.3), tighten the air cap retaining ring (1) to prevent material from leaking out between the air cap retaining ring and the air cap (2).

6.3 Adjusting the fan pattern (Fig. 7)
You can set the paint spray gun to produce three different fan patterns to suit your needs.
Loosen the air cap retaining ring (1) and rotate the air cap (2) to the desired position. Re-tighten the air cap retaining ring.

Selecting the fan pattern:
A: vertical fan
-> for horizontal surfaces
B: horizontal fan
-> for vertical surfaces
C: Round cone
-> for corners, edges and surfaces that are difficult to access
Risk of injury!
Never press the trigger while you are adjusting the jet.
6.4 Adjusting the material fl ow (Fig. 8)
You can rotate the max. paint volume control (6) to regulate the material flow.
– direction -> lower material flow
+ direction -> higher material flow
6.5 Spraying techniques

• The results you get depend on how smooth and clean the surface is. The surface must be carefully prepared and free of dust.
• Surfaces, threads, etc. which should not be sprayed must be covered.
• Always set the spray gun down on cardboard or something similar. You can use the cardboard as a target to properly adjust the spray gun.

Important:
Always begin spraying outside of the area to be sprayed and avoid interrupting spraying inside the area to be sprayed.

• Wrong (Fig. 9): If you only rotate the spray gun from side to side, the gun will produce a heavy mist and the coverage will be uneven.
• Right (Fig. 10): Always hold the spray gun at the same distance (about 5-15 cm) from the surface you are working on.
• Move the spray gun uniformly laterally or up and down depending on the fan pattern.
• Uniform motion of the spray gun produces uniform finish quality.
• If material residue remains on the nozzle (3) and the air cap (2), clean both parts with solvent or water.

6.6 Disconnecting and cleaning the gun (Fig. 1-2, 11-15)
Danger!
Always pull out the battery pack before starting any cleaning work.

1. Press the trigger (5), so that the residual material fl ows back into the container (12).
2. Unscrew the container (12) and empty the residual material back into the material tin.
3. Clean the container (12) and the material tube (11) with a bristle brush.
4. Pour solvent or water into the container. Screw the container back on. Solvents with a flash point above 55°C are not allowed to be used.
5. Reinsert the battery and turn on the paint spray gun. Set the max. paint volume control (6) to the maximum fl ow setting. Spray the solvent or water into a container or rag, but never into the surroundings.
6. Repeat the procedure above until the clear solvent or water exits from the nozzle (3).
7.  Then switch off the paint spray gun and remove the battery.
8. Completely empty the container (12). Always keep the container (12) free of residue and check it for damage.
9. Use a rag soaked in solvent or water to clean the outside of the paint spray gun and the container (12).
10. Unscrew the air cap retaining ring (1) and then remove the air cap (2). Remove the nozzle (3). Push the fluid needle adapter (B) onto the fluid needle (13). Twist and pull to remove the fluid needle. Clean the air cap retaining ring, the air cap, the nozzle and the fluid needle with a bristle brush and solvent or water.
11. Remove the fi lter cap (16) to clean the air inlet fi lter. Remove the fi lter and clean it by blowing out with air. Then reinsert the fi lter and screw the fi lter cap onto the gun. Do not operate the gun without the fi lter.
12. Reinsert the fluid needle. Pull the trigger and insert the nozzle on the fluid needle. While inserting, ensure that the pins on the sides of the fluid needle point up/down and not right/ left. Pull the trigger while placing the air cap on the nozzle and fastening the air cap with the air cap retaining ring.
13. Ensure that the paint spray gun is completely dry before storing it.
14. Properly dispose of residual paint and cleaning agents in accordance with local laws and regulations. Residual paint and solvents must be taken to a suitable collection point. If you are not sure, ask the local council where the nearest collection point is.

Warning!
Never immerse the paint spray gun in water or other liquids. Clean the housing only with a dampened rag.
Note: If you use 2-component paint, you must clean the gun immediately. Otherwise the paint might dry inside the gun, causing an equipment fault.
