Operation
➤
Only operate the machine
with as much air pressure
as is required to attain
good atomization at the
recommended spray distance
of approx. 30 - 40 cm.
➤
An overly high spraying
pressure increases material
consumption and paint mist.
30-40 cm

➤
If the spraying pressure is too low, this leads to streaking and
varying coating thickness.
Observe the operation manual for the spray gun. They contain
further tips for the optimization of the spray pattern.
5.2.2 Tips for good coatings
➤
Hold the spray gun
at a right angle (90°) to the
surface to be coated. As soon
as you hold the spray gun at a
different angle, the coating will
become uneven and patchy
(Fig. 16).
➤
Ensure an even speed and
guide the spray gun parallel to
the coating surface. Weaving
with the spray gun leads to an
uneven coating (Fig. 17).
➤
Move the spray gun with the
arm and not with the wrist.
➤
Move the spray gun prior to
activating the trigger. In this
way you will achieve a faultless,
soft and smooth overlapping
of the spray jet and avoid an
excessively thick material
application at the start of the
coating process.
