SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read the User Instructions carefully before use.

Save these instructions for future reference.

Risk of fire and explosion

• Paint and solvents can be highly inflammable.
  • Only use in a well-ventilated paint spraying booth.
  • Avoid ignition sources, including lighted cigarettes, naked flames, electrical sparks, etc. Do not use solvents that contain halogenated hydrocarbons (1, 1, 1-trichloroethane, ethylene chloride, etc.) that can react chemically with elements of aluminum or zinc and cause an explosion. Use fluids and solvents that are compatible with aluminum and zinc.
• Paint spraying equipment and the objects to be spray painted must always be earthed, to reduce the risk of sparking due to static electricity.

Risks if the equipment is used incorrectly

• Never point a spray gun towards yourself, other people or animals.
• Never exceed the maximum permitted working pressure for the equipment.
• Always depressurize the paint and air before cleaning, dismantling and/or service.
• We recommend that you install a shutoff valve on the compressed air line, close to the spray gun.

Risks during atomization and spraying

• Toxic fumes are produced when spraying specific materials, which can be harmful.
  • Ensure good ventilation during use.
  • Always wear safety glasses, gloves, respiratory protection, etc., to prevent the risk of personal injury caused by inhalation of toxic fumes or solvents/paint in contact with the skin or eyes.
• The noise level specified in the technical data was measured 1.0 m behind the spray gun’s tip, 1.6 m above the floor.
  • Wear ear protection, if required.

Other risks

• Never modify the product in any way.
• Never enter the work area for active robots, machines, conveyors or the like.
• Never spray foods or chemicals with the spray gun.

IMPORTANT: The product must only be used by persons who have had proper training. Check that the product has not been damaged during transportation. Only use clean, dry air.

• Connect the air hose to the air coupling.
• The paint container or paint hose must be connected firmly to the paint connection.
• Rinse the spray gun’s paint ducts using an appropriate solvent.
• Pour paint into the paint container, test spray and adjust the outgoing paint flow and pattern width.

DESCRIPTION

1. Lock ring
2. Air nozzle
3. Needle nozzle
4. Trigger
5. Paint container
6. Adjusting knob for paint flow
7. Adjusting knob for air flow
8. Adjusting knob for spray pattern
9. Compressed air connection

OPERATION

Appropriate air pressure is 2.0­2.5 bar.

• The recommended paint viscosity varies depending on the paint’s characteristics and surrounding conditions when spraying (18 ± 2 s recommended).
• Use the lowest possible outgoing flow. It gives better surface results with atomization.
• The distance between the spray gun and the workpiece should be as small as possible (150­200 mm).
• Always hold the spray gun perpendicular to the workpiece surface.
• Move the spray gun in straight lines horizontally.
• If you move the spray gun in turns, the paint coat will be uneven.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING:

• Turn off the air and fluid flow to the spray gun and relieve the pressure by pressing the trigger before
  disassembly, cleaning and/or service.

• The spray gun contains sharp parts ­ risk of cut injuries.

• The product must only be dismantled by persons who have had proper training.

1. Pour remaining paint into another container and clean the paint ducts and air cap. Spray a small amount of solvent to clean the paint ducts. Inadequate cleaning can cause incorrect patterns and/or particles in the paint. Thoroughly clean the spray gun immediately after using two-component paint.
2. Clean the other parts with solvent and the included brush and a cloth.
3. Clean the paint ducts fully before dismantling the spray gun.
4. Remove the paint needle before removing the paint nozzle, or hold the needle retracted, otherwise the seat may be damaged.
5. Insert the paint needle and screw on the paint needle seal by hand. Tighten carefully with a spanner. Adjust the seal while you press in the trigger and check how the paint needle moves. Do not overtighten, as the paint needle moves slower, which will result in leakage from the nozzle tip.
6. If this is the case, loosen anti-clockwise until the needle moves freely without paint leakage.
7. Turn the pattern knob anti-clockwise to the fully open position and screw in the pattern guide in the body.

IMPORTANT: Only use spare parts and accessories recommended by the manufacturer.

• Never immerse the spray gun in solvent or other fluid.
• Be careful never to damage the holes in air cap, paint nozzle or paint nozzle

TROUBLESHOOTING

Adjust the air regulator to increase the pressure.
Coat of paint too thick.| The paint sprayer has not been cleaned and as a result the needle valve is sticking.| Take the paint sprayer apart and clean it.
Too much paint.| Adjust the volume control to reduce the amount of paint. Try spraying two thin layers of paint instead.
Too low viscosity.| Add undiluted paint too increase the viscosity.
Orange peel effect or paint mist.| Use of incorrect thinner.| Use a different thinner.
The paint sprayer is being held at the wrong distance from the surface to be painted.| Hold the paint sprayer at a different distance from the surface.
The paint is too thick.| Dilute the paint and/or test the paint’s viscosity with a viscosity cup.
The air pressure is too high.| Reduce the air pressure.
The paint’s surface is rough, as if the paint has dried before reaching the surface.| The paint is too thin.| Add more paint to the paint container.
The air pressure might be too high.| Reduce the air pressure.
