5) By turning the fine adjustment button you can vary the spray amount (Illus.3,arrow).

Regulating with the fine adjustment button influences the spray pattern
depending on the spray material and the degree of dilution.
Spray Technique
•
The spray result depends heavily on the smoothness and cleanliness of the surface to
be sprayed. Therefore the surface should be carefully prepared and kept free of dust.
•
Cover areas that are
not
to be sprayed. When working keep in mind that wind, for example,
may transport paint mist over great distances and cause damage.
•
Test the spray gun on cardboard or a similar surface to find the correct setting.
•
When spraying, hold the spray gun in a horizontal position. Use the
flexible nozzle
extension
(Illus. 4 and 8, special accessories) for spraying upwards (e.g. a ceiling) or
downwards (e.g. an unhinged door laid on the floor).
•
Begin spraying outside of the spray area and avoid interruptions inside the spray area.
•
Do not apply too much paint during one spraying operation. First apply a thin layer
and allow to dry briefly before applying a covering layer. This is especially important
with vertical surfaces to avoid paint sags.
•
The distance from the nozzle to the object to be sprayed depends on the delivery
rate. With a low delivery rate it is possible to go very close to the object. This reduces
the amount of spray mist.
•
The spray gun should be worked as evenly as possible during the spray operation.
Accelerating or slowing down during the spray operation causes an uneven spray
pattern, spattering, dripping and orange peel.
•
The spray movement should come from the arm, not just from the wrist. This ensures that
a uniform distance is maintained between the spray gun and the spray surface during
the spray operation (Illus. 5).
•
To achieve optimal spray results, spray back and forth over the surface (Illus. 6).
Cleaning and Maintenance
Proper cleaning is the prerequisite for problem-free operation of the paint application
device. No warranty claims are accepted in case of improper or no cleaning.
Attention! Never immerse the spray gun in liquid when cleaning.
1) Empty out the remaining paint from the container.
2) Put proper thinner in the container and trigger the sprayer for approx. 2 seconds.
Do
not use flammable materials for cleaning purposes.
3) Pull the main plug out of the socket.
4) Disassemble the spray gun as shown in Illus. 9 (spare parts).
5) Thoroughly clean all soiled parts.
6) Reassemble the parts in reverse order.
7) Put a few drops of oil (e.g. sewing machine oil) in the intake and runback holes (Illus.
