INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A CORRECT APPLICATION
Mix the paint product according to the technical data sheets of the products to be used.
Filter the product before its use.
Choose the size of the needle (
A
) / nozzle (
U
) / cap (
C
) kit depending on the product to be sprayed and the speed of
desired job. For a precise indication of the spray gun set-up please refer to the main paint manufacturers’ specifications, by
visiting the website www.walmec.com/solution finder, or simply scan the
QR code below (*)
.
For Slim Kombat and Slim Xlight models, before using the spray gun, check if the removable diffuser (
D
) is properly installed.
Tighten the nozzle (
U
) to the gun body (
K
) with a hand tightening torque device, set not less than 14 Nm.
Verify that all the components are properly installed and tightened.
Check the correct positioning of the cap (
C
) (vertical fan spray/horizontal fan spray): it must be “adequately locked” after
the ring nut (
Cg
) has been tightened.
“Fully open” product adjustment: pull the lever (
L
) completely back, and screw the needle-adjusting handwheel (
R
)
to the position where the lever begins to move.
“Fully open” fan spray pattern adjustment: completely unscrew the jet adjusting handwheel (
G
).
“Fully open” air flow adjustment: for models equipped with a flow rate adjuster (
P
), unscrew the flow-regulator handwheel
completely (
P
).
Fasten the color filter in its position, and fix/screw the cup to the spray gun’s product inlet (
E
), having previously filled it
with the painting product to be used.
Connect the spray gun to the compressed air supply (
I
). If possible, use an air pipe with a minimum section diameter equal
to 10 mm (0.37”).
If quick connect air couplings are required, use only high pressure/high flow elements: other coupling types do not allow
an adequate and stable air flow for the proper use of the air gun.
Make sure that the compressed air used is perfectly filtered from water, oil, and other impurities (for example with the
installation of the Walcom FSRD3/4 filter unit, or the more efficient and complete TD
3
/TD
1
PRO multifunctional filter and
thermal conditioner unit).
Pulling back the lever (
L
) to the “1st phase” position, that is without releasing the paint product, adjust the air supply
pressure according to the most suitable pressure indications. If the spray gun works with less than ideal pressures, optimal
finishes will not be obtained.
Fine tune and adjust the shape of the fan spray, if necessary, by performing the following steps:
- adjust the air pressure preferably by acting on the regulator/meter (
M
) and/or (
P
);
- adjust the quantity of the product discharge, by acting on the needle-adjusting handwheel (
R
): turning it clockwise redu
-
ces the quantity of product dispensed;
- adjust the fan spray by acting on the jet adjusting handwheel (
G
): turning it clockwise reduces the height of the fan spray
area.
To paint, pull back the lever (
L
) completely and maneuver the spray gun so that the jet is always perpendicular to the
surface to be painted, at the recommended painting distance for the model in use.
It is always preferable to apply paint with horizontal movements and with the most uniform speed possible, overlapping at
least 50% of each spray passage. Any displacements of the structure during the emission of the paint product can cause
an uneven application of the paint layer.
Always disconnect or close the air supply, limiting the pressure, when the spray gun is not used.
