Working Advice
Spraying (see figures D–E)
Note:
Observe the wind direction when operat-
ing the power tool outdoors.
–
Firstly, carry out a test-spray run and adjust
the spray pattern and the spray material
quantity according to the spray material. (For
adjustments, see the following sections)
–
Make sure to hold the spray gun vertical to
the spray object at a uniform clearance be-
tween 5
– 15 cm.
–
Begin the spraying procedure outside the tar-
get area.
–
Move the spray gun evenly cross-wise or up-
and-down, depending on the spray pattern
setting.
An even surface quality is achieved when the
paths overlap by 4
–
5 cm.
–
Avoid interruptions inside the target area.
An even movement of the spray gun results in an
even surface quality.
Non-uniform clearance and spray angle lead to
heavy formation of paint mist and thus to an un-
even surface.
–
End the spraying procedure outside the tar-
get area.
Never spray the container completely empty.
When the suction tube no longer immerses in
the spray material, the spray jet will break off,
resulting in a non-uniform surface.
When coating material builds up on the nozzle
and air cap, clean both parts with the corre-
sponding solvent.
Adjusting the Spray Pattern (see figure F)
f Never actuate the trigger switch 9 while ad-
justing the air cap 2.
–
Loosen the union nut 3 .
–
Turn the air cap 2 to the requested position.
–
Firmly retighten the union nut.
