plug.
Connecting the Air Hose (see figures A1 – A2)
– Open the holding clamp 16 and unreel the air hose 13.
Connecting to the spray gun:
– Firmly insert an SDS connector 14 of the air hose in align-
ment with the arrow mark into the hose port of the spray
gun 6.
– Turn the SDS connector until the lock engages.
Connecting the base unit:
– Firmly insert the second SDS connector of the air hose in
alignment with the arrow mark into the port of the base unit
19.
– Turn the SDS connector until the lock engages.
Fastening the Carrying Strap (see figure B)
In order to reach all surfaces to be sprayed and maintain flex-
ibility, you can sling on the base unit with the carrying strap
20.
– Attach one strap end to each eyelet 17.
Operation
Preparing for Operation
f Spraying on the sides of water bodies (lakes, rivers,
etc.) or neighbouring surfaces in the direct catchment
area is not permitted.
When purchasing paint, varnish and spray material, pay at-
tention to their environmental compatibility.
Preparing the Spray Surface
Note: Cover off the vicinity of the spray surface thoroughly
and generously.
The spray mist contaminates the environment. When spray-
ing in enclosures, surfaces not covered can become contami-
nated.
The spray surface must be clean, dry and grease-free.
– Roughen smooth surfaces and then remove the sanding
dust.
Suitable spray materials and recommended diluting
agents
f
When diluting, pay attention that the spray material
and the diluting agent correspond. When using a faulty
diluting agent, lumps can develop that can lead to clogging
of the spray gun.
The tool is not suitable for processing dispersion paint (wall
paint/latex).
Please also observe the practical advice/tips of the spray ma-
terial manufacturers.
Diluting Spray Material
For spray material that needs to be diluted, proceed as fol-
lows:
– Take the measuring cup 21.
– Stir the spray material thoroughly.
– Fill a sufficient quantity of spray material into the spray-
material container 8. (see “Filling in Spray Material”,
page 16)
– Dilute the spray material by 10 % with paint thinner. Exam-
ples:
– Stir the spray material thoroughly.
– Carry out a test-spray run on a test surface. (see “Spray-
ing”, page 17)
When the spraying pattern is perfect, start the spray job.
or
When the spraying result is not satisfactory or when no paint
comes out, please continue as described under “Correction of
Malfunctions” on page 18.
Filling in Spray Material (see figures C1–C2)
f
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
– Unscrew the container 8 from the spray gun.
– Turn the suction tube 10 so that the spray material can be
sprayed with almost no residue:
– Fill the spray material into the container and screw the con-
tainer firmly to the spray gun.
