Operation

Before using the tool for the first time

Insert plug-in nipple (7).

Setting paint jet:

Round jet / wide-spray jet (depending on features):

Use the regulating screw (3) to set the spraying gun to a round or wide jet. See Fig. A, Page 2.

Round jet for small surfaces, corners and edges.

Wide jet for large surfaces. The nozzle head (2) can be turned steplessly into vertical or horizontal position.

Paint volume (application speed):
Set the paint volume at the regulating screw (5).

Open the regulating screw (5) by approx. 2 to 2 1/2 rotations and carry out a spray test.

Additional opening of the regulating screw (5) increases the paint flow and thus the application speed.

Closing the regulating screw (5) reduces the paint flow and thus the application speed.

Because the material types vary, the paint volume adjustment should always be carried out during operation of the paint spraying gun.

HVLP (High Volume, Low Pressure):
(depending on features)
Min. supply pressure 0.7 bar at nozzle set, transfer rate approx. 70%. Low overspray, maximum transfer efficiency combined with low air consumption; paint savings are up to 30%.

HVLP (High Volume, Low Pressure):
(depending on features)
Min. supply pressure 0.7 bar at nozzle set, transfer rate approx. 73%. Low overspray, maximum transfer efficiency combined with very low air consumption.

Using the air tool

To benefit from the air tool’s full performance, always use compressed air hoses with an inner diameter of at least 10 mm. Tool performance can be significantly impaired if the inner diameter is too small.

Caution. The compressed air line must not contain any water condensation.
Caution. The compressed air used must be cleaned and be free of condensate and oil.

1. Ensure that the air volume regulation (4) (depending on features) is fully open prior to operation. It can be used for fine adjustment of the air volume during operation.

2. Adjust the supply pressure (this is measured at the air outlet while the air tool is switched on). For details of the maximum permissible supply pressure, see the section on “Technical Specifications”.
   If the supply pressure is too high, this can result in excessively fine distribution of the material accompanied by rapid fluid evaporation. The surfaces become rough with poor adherence.
   If the supply pressure is too low, the material is insufficiently atomised. The surface will be wavy with paint drips.

3. Connect the air tool with quick-action coupling to the compressed air supply.

4. Observe the manufacturer’s instructions on paint conditioning. Fill paint into the cup (1).
   Seal with cover.

5. Actuate the trigger lever (6) to put the paint spraying gun into operation.

6. Set the paint jet.

7. Always hold the spraying gun the same distance away from the object.
   Spraying distance is approx. 10-15 cm.

Cleaning, Maintenance and Care

Danger! Disconnect the compressed air connection before carrying out any work.
Danger! Repair and maintenance work other than the work described in this section should only be carried out by qualified specialists.

If there is an unexpected blockage or the spray pattern is contaminated, please clean the nozzle.

• A clean paint spraying gun guarantees troublefree handling during subsequent work.

• Clean and service the paint spraying gun immediately after painting with extreme care.
  Danger! Do not use halogen solvents containing hydrocarbons (1.1.1 Trichloromethyl, ethyl chloride, etc.) because this results in chemical reactions, some of which can be dangerous, with some spraying gun materials.
  Caution. Never immerse the spraying gun completely in a solvent.

• All moving parts should be oiled from time to time.

• If the nozzle is removed for cleaning, the thread and the gasket must be coated with a light grease.
  Do not use lubricants containing silicone.

• Store your air tools in dry rooms only.

• Carry out regular maintenance to ensure the safety of the air tool.
