5.1 Spray gun assembly (Fig. 2/3/4)

• The trigger unit (14) is attached to the handle (15) with the gun mounting bayonet connector (7).
• Open the locking lever (4).
• Twist and insert the trigger unit (14) into the handle.
• Close the locking lever.
• Insert the material tube (11) into the material tube connection (10).
• Screw the container into the trigger unit.

Operation

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 fl ow 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 11. Viscosity Table)

6.1.2 Nozzle diameter
The size of the nozzle and fl uid needle to use depends on the viscosity of the material. Depending on the viscosity, use the 2.0 mm dia. nozzle (colour  red, forlower viscosity) or the 2.5 mm dia. nozzle (colour: black, for higher viscosity).
The fl uid needle in the gun is suitable for both nozzle diameters.
6.2 Working with the paint spray gun (Fig. 6)
Note! 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 may only be set down on a clean, even surface. Otherwise it may tip over.
• After each cleaning (see 8.1) 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 fan
-> 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 to regulate the material fl ow.
– direction-> lower material fl ow
+ direction-> higher material fl ow

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 is deposited on the nozzle (3) and the air cap (2), clean both parts with solvent or water.

Replacing the power cable

Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.
8.1 Cleaning

• Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
• Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment.  Ensure that nowater can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

8.1.1 Disconnecting and cleaning the gun (Fig. 1-2, 11-15)

1. Unplug the spray gun from the mains power. Press the trigger (5), so that the residual material flows 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 fl ash point above 55°C may not be used.

5. Reinsert the mains plug into the mains outlet 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. Turn the paint spray gun off again and unplug it from mains power.

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 remove the air cap (2). Remove the nozzle (3). Push the fl uid needle adapter (B) onto the fluid needle (13). Twist and pull to remove the fluid needle. Clean the air cap retaining ring, air cap, nozzle and fl uid needle  with a bristle brush and solvent or water.

11. Remove the filter cap (16) to clean the air inlet filter. Remove the filter and clean it by blowing out with air. Replace the filter and screw the filter cap onto the gun. Do not operate the gun without the filter.

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 tightly fasten 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. The housing may only be cleaned with a dampened rag.
Note: If you use 2-component paint, you must clean the gun immediately. Otherwise the paint may dry inside the gun, causing an equipment fault.
8.2 Carbon brushes
