4.4 Taking the unit into operation with coating
material
1. Immerse the suction tube (Fig. 4, Item 2) and return hose
(1) into the coating material container.
2. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise (3) to
minimum pressure.
3. Open the relief valve (4), valve position PRIME
(
k
circulation).
4. Switch the unit (5) ON.
5. Wait until the coating material exudes from the return
hose.
6. Close the relief valve, valve position SPRAY (
p
spray).
7. Trigger the spray gun several times and spray into a
collecting container until the coating material exits the
spray gun without interruption.
8. Increase the pressure by slowly turning up the pressure
control knob.
Check the spray pattern and increase the pressure until
the atomization is correct.
Always turn the pressure control knob to the lowest setting
with good atomization.
9. The unit is ready to spray.

Spraying technique
Injection hazard. Do not spray without the tip
guard in place. NeVeR trigger the gun unless
the tip is completely turned to either the spray
or the unclog position. ALWAyS engage the
gun trigger lock before removing, replacing or
cleaning tip.
The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the entire
surface. Keep your arm moving at a constant speed and keep
the spray gun at a constant distance from the surface. The best
spraying distance is 25 to 30 cm between the spray tip and the
surface.
25 - 30 cm
Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This means
moving your entire arm back and forth rather than just flexing
your wrist.
Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise one
end of the pattern will be thicker than the other.
Trigger gun after starting the stroke. Release the trigger before
ending the stroke. The spray gun should be moving when the
trigger is pulled and released. Overlap each stroke by about
30%. This will ensure an even coating.

If very sharp edges result or if there are streaks
in the spray jet – increase the operating pressure
or dilute the coating material.
