1) Air Paint Spray Gun
Intended Use
The compressed air paint spray gun is suitable for application of adhesive
substrates and primers and top coats on metal and wood and for general
coating work. Note that abrasive, acid and fuel-containing materials must
not be processed.
The intended use also includes an operation following the operating
instructions.
Any use beyond these parameters (different media, applying force) or any
changes (reconstruction, no original accessory) can lead to serious risks
and is regarded as use that is contrary to the intended purpose. The
operator is liable for any damage caused by improper use.
Before first Use
Unpack the air paint spray gun and the accessory and check all parts for any
damage in transit. Dispose of packaging materials or store it out of reach of
children. Plastic bags etc. may become a deadly toy for children.
Preparing the Surface to be painted
The object to be painted, or the surface, etc. has to be clean, dry and free of
grease and dust. Metal surfaces must be stainless. Since the fine sprayed
paint is dispersed in a very thin layer on the surface, roughness would have a
negative effect on the paint result.
Viscosity testing
Viscosity is the flow rate of a material. Measure the viscosity with a viscosity
cup (not included) as follows:
1. Thin the paint according to the manufacturer's recommendation. Start with
less thinner so you still can and add some thinner later.
2. Mix the paint thoroughly. Pour the paint into the viscosity cup or dip the cup
to the edge into the paint.
3. Measure the time in seconds until the liquid thread breaks off. This flow
time is called DIN-s. Thin the material as much as necessary until the liquid
thread already breaks off after 20 seconds.
