Spray Technique
● The spray result depends heavily on the smoothness and cleanliness of the surface to be
sprayed. Therefore the surface should be carefully prepared and kept free of dust.
● Cover all surfaces not to be sprayed.
● Cover screw threads or similar parts of the target object.
● It is advisable to test the spray gun on cardboard or a similar surface to find the correct
setting. Important: Begin spraying outside of the target area and avoid interruptions inside
the target area.
● Correct (Fig. 6 a) Be sure to hold the spray gun at an even distance of approx. 10- 30 cm
to the target object.
● Incorrect (Fig. 6 b) · Heavy spray fog build-up, uneven surface quality.
● An even movement of the spray gun results in an even surface quality.
● When coating material builds up on the nozzle (A) and air cap (B) (Fig.7), clean both parts
with a solvent or water.
Interruption of Work
● Turn the machine off.
● Put the spray gun in the spray gun holder.
