6.1.2 Measuring the viscosity (Fig. 3)
1. Use the viscosity test container (15) to check
whether your paint has the required viscosity
(see Fig. C). Fill the viscosity test container
with the required spray material until comple-
tely full.
2. Let the spray material in the container run out
through the opening in the bottom and note
the time it takes for all the spray material to
emerge. The time recorded is the basis for
calculating the viscosity of the spray material
in the unit DIN-sec.
3. If you are unsure about which material to use
for your project, ask your paint dealer or a
similar specialist.
This is the
„Draining time in seconds“
.
(See 11. Viscosity Table)
6.2 Switching the
fi
ne paint sprayer on and o
ff
Switching on the
fi
ne paint sprayer
1. Connect
the
fi
ne paint sprayer to the power
supply by inserting the power plug in a suitab-
le power socket.
2. Point
the
fi
ne paint sprayer at the object to be
sprayed.
3. Pull the trigger to begin spraying (6).

ff
the
fi
ne paint sprayer
1. Release the trigger (6) of the
fi
ne paint spray-
er.
2. Disconnect
the
fi
ne paint sprayer from the
power supply by pulling the power plug out of
the socket.
6.3 Setting the spray pattern
Caution! Risk of injury!
Improper handling of the
fi
ne paint sprayer could
result in injuries.
•
Be sure not to pull the trigger while you are
setting the air cap.
•
Each time before you change a setting, make
sure that the fine paint sprayer is OFF. You can
set three different spray patterns on the fine
paint sprayer to suit the application and object
(see Fig. G):
Position A
Pattern: Vertical cone
Use: Horizontal surfaces
Position B
Pattern: Horizontal cone
Use: Vertical surfaces
Position C
Pattern: Round cone
Use: Corners, edges, surfaces that are di
ffi
cult to
access

quers and varnishes
When you turn the adjusting ring, take care not to
loosen the union nut or unscrew it from the spray-
ing unit. After you have set the required spray pat-
tern, tighten the union nut by screwing clockwise.
•
Turn the adjusting ring (12) at the union nut
clockwise or counter-clockwise in order to
move the air cap (19) to the required spray
pattern position (see Fig. G).

1. Undo the union nut (4) a little by turning coun-
ter-clockwise.
2. Turn the air cap (19) into the required spray
pattern position (see Fig. G).
3. Hold the air cap securely and tighten the uni-
on nut by turning clockwise.
6.4 Controlling the material volume
The setting screw for controlling the material vo-
lume (7) at the trigger (6) can be used to set the
volume of the material supply to suit your require-
ments (see Fig. D). There is a scale on the trigger
for orientation.
•
Turn the setting screw counter-clockwise (–)
in order to reduce the material volume.
•
Turn the setting screw clockwise (+) in order
to increase the material volume.
6.5 Setting the spray width
With the help of the lever (5) for setting the spray
width you can make the spray cone wider or nar-
rower (see Fig. D).
•
Push the lever for setting the spray width to-
wards or to position (X) in order to make the
spray cone wider (position (X) = maximum
cone width).
•
Push the lever for setting the spray width to-
wards or to position (X) in order to make the
spray cone narrower (position (X) = narrowest
cone width).
6.6 Changing the nozzle set
This product comes with a 2.5 mm nozzle set
(pre-
fi
tted) and a 3.5 mm nozzle set for the
spraying unit (9) with 1200 ml tub volume. For
spray material of lower viscosity the manufactu-
rer recommends the spraying unit (11) with the
