Working Advice
Painting
Before painting, moisten new or dried paint rolls with water.
When the paint roll is new or dry, it takes approx. six lanes un-
til the paint application is homogeneous and without streaks.
Filling an empty feed hose takes approx. one minute.
– Press the trigger switch 7 to apply a sufficient amount of
paint on the paint roll 16 and uniformly move the paint roll
up and down.
– Avoid interruptions within the surface to be painted.
Evenly guiding the paint roll will lead to a uniform surface
quality.
Regulating the Paint Amount during Painting
The paint amount can be regulated with the trigger switch.
– Press the trigger switch 7 until the application of paint on
the paint roll is homogeneous.
– Afterwards, release the trigger switch until the application
of paint on the painting surface is no longer opaque.
– Then, refill the paint chamber again with a sufficient
amount of paint (press trigger switch 7 approx. 5 sec-
onds).
Changing the Paint Roll (see figures E1 – E2)
Remove the paint roll from the paint applicator for cleaning or
when the paint roll is worn.
– Pull the roll holders 15 apart and allow the paint roll 16 to
slide out of the paint applicator 3.
To prevent the paint-soaked paint roll from drying out until it
has been washed out, it is best to immerse it into a water
bucket.
Appropriate new paint rolls can be found in our Bosch acces-
sories program.
Paint rolls from other manufacturers can also be used, when
the respective dimensions are observed (see “Technical Da-
ta”, page 16).
Insert a new paint roll as follows:
– Pull the roll axle 17 out of the old paint roll 16 and slide the
new paint roll on the roll axle until centred.
– Insert the roll axle 17 on one side in the roll holder 15 until
it fits.
– Press the paint roll into the roll holder of the other side.
The paint roll must be able to rotate freely.
Placing Down the Paint Applicator (see figure F)
– Place down the paint applicator 3 on the edge of the paint
bucket so that it rests on the bucket holder 14.
