An average flow setting provides the best result for most wall paints.
14. Spray Technique
•
Cover all surfaces not to be sprayed.
•
It is advisable to test the spray gun on cardboard or a similar surface to find the
correct setting.
Important:
Start at the edge of the area to be sprayed. Start the spray movement
first of all, and then press the trigger. Avoid interruptions within the area
to be sprayed.
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. Select a distance of 20-30 cm (approx. one stirring rod in
length), depending on the desired spray jet width.
Fig. 9 a: CORRECT
Even distance to the object.
Fig. 9 b: INCORRECT
An uneven distance will result in uneven paint application.
•
Move the spray gun evenly cross-wise or up-and-down, depending on the spray
pattern setting.
•
An even movement of the spray gun results in an even surface quality.
•
If nozzle and air cap are soiled, clean both parts with water and solvent.
i
"Cross spray" when using paint with a poor covering capacity or if the
surface is highly absorbent (Fig. 10).
i
Interior wall paint in strong colour shades should be applied at least twice
(allow first paint coat to dry first). This will ensure good coverage.
15. Interruption of Work
•
Turn the machine off.
•
During longer breaks, vent the container by briefly opening and then closing it again.
•
Clean nozzle openings after an interruption in operation.
16. Taking Out of Operation and Cleaning
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.
1) Turn the machine off.
2) Divide the spray gun. Press the hook (Fig. 5 "click") slightly downwards. Turn the gun
front part and gun rear part against each other.
