Measuring the Viscosity
Dip the viscosity test cup (Illus. 1) completely into the spray material. Hold the test cup up
and measure the time (in seconds) until the liquid empties out. Compare the measured
"runout time" with the Viscosity Table.
Startup
Before connecting to the mains supply, please be sure that the supply voltage is identical
with the value given on the rating plate (on the side of the spray gun).
Dilute the spray material according to the above table.
1)
Place the container on a sheet of paper and fill it with the prepared spray material.
2)
Attention! Do not operate the spray gun without spray material in the
container; this can lead to increased wear of the pump!
Position the spray gun on the container and turn the container to the right until the
3)
container fits tightly (Illus. 2, arrow).
Activate the switch to start up the spray gun.
4)
First the spray gun sucks in spray material, then after a few seconds the material
emerges from the nozzle. To accelerate the intake, turn the fine adjustment button
to maximum.
By turning the fine adjustment button you can vary the spray amount (Illus.3,arrow).
5)
i
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, arrow, 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).
