5. Remeasure the DIN-seconds value.
Repeat this procedure until a value is obtained
that complies with the values in the table.
Q Preparing the sprayed medium
NoTE: Most paints, varnishes etc. in the shops
are intended to be applied by brush not spray. To
achieve the best spraying result, you should prepare
your paint or varnish etc. in accordance with DIN
guidelines to achieve a suitable viscosity (see table).
Use a suitable thinner to achieve the required
thinning of the medium.
Never exceed the maximum viscosity for the
device. The sprayed medium must not be too
thick for the spraying process, otherwise it
could clog up the device.
Ensure that the sprayed medium and the thinner
are compatible with one another. If the wrong
thinner is used, it can lead to lumps forming
which may clog up the device. Never mix nitro-
thinners with synthetic resin paint.
Consult the sprayed medium manufacturer’s
documentation for information about suitable
thinners (water, solvents).
1. Thoroughly mix the unthinned sprayed medium
and bring it to average room temperature
(20 - 22 °C).
Do not increase the temperature to change the
viscosity.
2. Add a suitable thinner.
3. Test the viscosity as described above (see Fig. C).
NoTE: Never use nitro-thinners to thin synthetic
resin paint!

* This device cannot be used to spray media contain-
ing discrete particles / solids. The abrasive effect
of these media shortens pump and valve life.
Q Preparing the surface
to be sprayed
The surface to be sprayed must be clean, dry and
free of grease.
Roughen smooth surfaces and remove any
abraded dust.
Always cover the surrounding area around the
surface to be sprayed. The spray cloud may
contaminate the surrounding area.

Bringing into use
Q Selecting the nozzle
Nozzle Use
Nozzle, 0.6 mm all paints, varnishes
Nozzle, 0.8 mm thick-flowing sprayed
media
Cleaning nozzle a thinner, harder spray
for spot-cleaning of sur-
faces
Nozzle extension for spraying in high or
low, more difficult to
reach corners
