* 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.

Q
Spraying process
1. You can vary the spray by adjusting the regulator
button 2 (see Fig. D). The spray is correctly
set when no drops are formed and the gun
produces a fine, consistent spray pattern.
2. Do not switch the device on or off while it is
over the surface to be sprayed. Instead, start
and stop the spraying process approximately
10 cm outside the surface to be sprayed.
NOTE: The distance between the nozzle and
the workpiece depends on the material being
sprayed (approx. 20 to 35 cm spraying dis-
tance, depending on the spray cone and the
desired amount of material to be applied).
Use the device in a horizontal orientation only
(as shown in Fig. D).
Carry out a trial in each case to determine the
most effective spraying distance.
Start with a longer distance.
3. Spray corners or small decorative details first
using short bursts of spray.
Then go on to the actual spraying process.
4. The spray process should follow the sequence
shown in Fig. E
– keep the spray gun moving parallel to the surface
– Do not incline the spray gun
– Move the spray gun at a constant speed
– Apply the sprayed medium as thinly as possible
– The layer(s) of sprayed medium need(s) to
be allowed to dry for some time before you
apply the next coat (Fig. F) at right angles to
the previous coat.
5. Do not allow the paint cup 7 to empty com-
pletely while spraying – drops may form!
Q
Maintenance and cleaning
General advice:
1.
Pull out the mains plug be-
fore you carry out any tasks on the spray gun.
Do the same when you take a break from spraying.
2. After each use, spray thinners (in the open
air only – danger of explosion!) or
water through the device.
3. To protect from rust after cleaning, you can
spray sewing machine oil through the device.
4. DANGER TO LIFE
THROUGH ELECTRIC SHOCK! Never im-
merse the device in the cleaning medium.
