SETTING UP (FIG. C)
This machine may be supplied with some com-
ponents not fitted. Remove the machine and the
components supplied from the packaging and
proceed to assemble them as illustrated.
While assembling the components the battery
must be disconnected from the appliance. Before
starting the machine, check that all assembled
parts are properly secured.
CHARGING THE BATTERY (Follow the instruc-
tions attached to the battery charger)
!
!
WARNING! Before using the appliance it is
necessary to fully charge the battery.
!
!
WARNING! Recharge only with a battery
charger designed for this type of tool. An
inappropriate battery charger can cause a
fire hazard when used with other battery units.
To keep the battery in good working order, do
not discharge it completely.
Fully charge the battery:
- After each use.
- At least every 4 months, even if not used.
- If while working you notice a clear drop in the
performance of the tool.
INSERTING AND REMOVING THE BATTERY
(Fig.D)
- Insert the battery through the guides in the
battery compartment. (pos.7)
- Take out the battery from its housing in the tool
by operating the release device (pos.8)
SWITCHING ON AND OFF (FIG.A)
!
!
WARNING! Before starting the power tool
it is compulsory to wear individual protection
equipment (not provided).
- Insert the charged battery in the compartment
in the tool (Pos.7).
- To start the appliance, press the trigger of
the spray gun (5 Fig.A), to stop the appliance
and interrupt the flow of the paint, release the
trigger.
OPERATING INSTRUCTION
After having read the safety standards carefully,
apply these tips scrupulously to obtain maxi-
mum performance from your machine. Work
calmly. You will only be able to make full use of
the machine’s potential after gaining sufficient
experience. The painting conditions provided by
this machine include a high volume of air that
directs the spray jet at low pressure, which pro-
vides greater painting efficiency. In addition the
stream of air shortens the drying time required
for the coating material.
The diagram in Fig.D illustrates the correct
position and use.

Warning! To ensure high efficiency of the
appliance and avoid overheating of the motor,
always keep the ventilation holes (3 Fig.A)
clean and free.
Preparing the item or surface to be coated.
The painting result depends on the cleanliness
and evenness of the surface to be painted.
Remove all traces of rust or old paint, and sand
down if necessary. Fill where necessary to pro-
vide an even surface. Remove all dust from the
surface before spraying. Read the instructions
on the paint tin carefully, to check whether it is
possible to apply a bonding agent before pain-
ting for better results and in order to use less
paint. Surfaces that are not to be painted are to
be masked using adhesive tape or newspaper.
Cover the floor with blankets.
Preparing the material to be sprayed.
The appliance can correctly dispense paints
with a viscosity not exceeding 70DIN/s
.
Always check the viscosity of the paint before
it is poured into the container.
Shake the tin well before opening. Generally the
paint to be used must be diluted (we suggest
testing a small amount of paint before diluting
the entire tin). Follow the paint manufacturer’s
indications relating to the type of diluents and
quantity to be added. If the manufacturer does
not indicate how their product is to be diluted
or what diluents to use, ask your paint dealer,
being sure to indicate that it will be applied
using an HVLP (high volume, low pressure)
gun. Fill the tank (10 Fig.A) for the gun to a
maximum of ¾ of its capacity. If necessary,
add small amounts of diluents at a time after
spraying test patches on cardboard or a piece
of wood. The degree of dilution of the paint ge-
nerally depends on its viscosity. Dense paints
are more viscous, less dense paints are less.
For an estimated viscosity to be associated
with paints, where no specific information is
provided on the paint tin, see the table:
