Advice on use / Bringing into use
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!

value
Car body paint 16-20 DIN-sec
Acrylic paint 25-30 DIN-sec
Synthetic resin paint 25-30 DIN-sec
Primer 25-30 DIN-sec
Wood impregnation 25-30 DIN-sec
Glaze 25-30 DIN-sec
Hammer finish paint 30-35 DIN-sec*
Emulsion paint 40-80 DIN-sec
* This device cannot be used to spray media contain-
ing discrete particles / solids. The abrasive effect
of these media shortens pump and valve life.
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
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

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
