10 cm away from it so that a thicker paint coat is not
applied at the edges of the sprayed surface.
y
Always guide the spray gun perpendicular to the
sprayed surface and always at the same distance
(10-25 cm) from the sprayed surface (fig.6). Do
not tilt the spray gun from side to side - an une-
ven distance from the surface and spray angle
result in uneven application of the paint (fig.7).
y
Always guide the spray gun at a smooth, even,
appropriate speed.
In the event that the spray gun
moves too fast, the applied paint coat will be too thin.
In the event that the spray gun moves too slow, the
applied paint coat will be too thick and the paint will
flow off the surface.
y
It generally applies that paint should be applied
in two coats. After the first coat has dried, apply
the second coat.
The paint may be a little thinner on the first coat so
that it better „flows into“ the surface pores. The second
spray coat should be applied with a thicker paint to
achieve better coverage.
y
When spraying large-area surfaces, guide the spray gun
back and forth in a horizontal direction and then up and
down, as shown in fig. 8.
y
You will achieve a even spray coat when the bands
overlap by 4-5 cm.
y
Do not permit the tank on the spray gun to become
completely empty while spraying, since this will inter-
rupt the sprayed beam and the sprayed surface will not
be uniform and smooth.
y
In the event that the nozzle clogs during use, clean it
out using the solvent used for the given type of paint.
•
ATTENTION
y
Ensure that when there is paint in the tank that the
spray gun does not tip over, which would result in paint
entering the air supply valve of the tank. The air supply
valve would become clogged and the spray gun would
not function correctly (disassembling and cleaning the
valve, see chapter VII).
VII. Cleaning
and maintenance
•
ATTENTION
y
The spray gun must be cleaned immediately
after use, otherwise the paint will dry inside the
spray gun, which will make further use of the
spray gun impossible.
This type of damage is not
covered by the warranty on repair.
y
Take any waste solvent and/or unusable paint to
a hazardous waste collection facility for ecological dis-
posal enclosed in a sealed, impact-resistant container.
Under no condition should you pour these substances
into the sewage system, water sources or on soil, since
the chemicals are toxic and damaging to the environ-
ment in which we live.
y
When cleaning, use appropriate durable pro-
tective work gloves. The substances contained in
the sprayed liquid are damaging to health and
may be absorbed into the body through the skin.
Prevent the inhalation of fumes.
CLEANING PROCEDURE:
1. Pour the paint out of the spray gun tank and first tho-
roughly clean it out, after which, run the spray gun
with a clean, specified solvent type inside the spray
gun tank, which will clean out the internal parts of
the spray gun and the nozzle. To reduce the amount
of solvent used, it is possible to first wipe out the
spray gun tank several times with a clean textile, then
wipe it out with the textile dipped in the solvent and
finally to flush out the spray gun with a small amount
of clean solvent.
•
ATTENTION
y
It is also necessary to thoroughly clean paint away
from the top part of the spray gun tank with the
thread and filling opening of the spray gun tank, as
well as the funnel for measuring the flow-out time.
2. Subsequently pour a sufficient amount of clean sol-
vent into the clean spray gun tank and run the spray
gun with the flow rate set to the highest level in
order to flush out the internal parts of the spray gun
until clean solvent is sprayed out of the spray gun.
y
For the purpose of dilution, pour the liquid out into
a different container. When diluting, it is necessary that
the sprayed liquid and the solvent are mutually compa-
tible according to the instructions of the manufacturer
provided on the packaging, otherwise clumps or sepa-
rated phases may result, which will spoil the paint and
the sprayed surface. During dilution, it is necessary to
ensure that the flash point of the paint after dilution is
higher than 55°C.
PREPARING THE SPRAYED SURFACES
y
Ensure that the sprayed surface is clean, free of mecha-
nical particles, dust, that it is dry and free of grease.
y
During the spraying process, adjacent surfaces may also
be sprayed, therefore mask the surrounding areas with
paper or apply the paint in a location where it does not
matter.
•
ATTENTION
y
Never spray in locations where the environment could
be polluted, e.g. in the vicinity of a water source or in
the vicinity of people or animals. Contamination of
food, consumables or the environment by the sprayed
substance must not occur. Likewise, do not spray in
the vicinity of electrical equipment due to the risk of
injury by electrical shock and damage to this electrical
equipment.
FILLING THE SPRAY GUN TANK
•
ATTENTION
y
Prior to pouring the sprayed liquid into the spray gun
tank, remove the battery to prevent accidentally star-
ting the spray gun.
1. Screw out the filling opening cap of the tank.
2. Pour an appropriately diluted and well mixed liquid
into the tank. In the event that there are clumps, then
filter them out using a strainer, otherwise the spray
gun nozzle will become clogged.
3. Screw the filling opening cap back on.
SETTING THE NOZZLE
FOR SPRAYING IN A LINE OR CIRCLE
y
The nozzle setting for the application of paint in a hori-
zontal or vertical line, or in a circle is shown in fig. 5.
y
To apply the paint in a line (ellipsoid), set the lever
(fig.1, position 1) to the position of the „fan“ symbol; to
apply the paint in a circle, set the lever to the position
of the „narrow cluster“ (see fig.5).
y
When the spray is set to the line mode, turn the ring
(fig.1, position 13) to set the horizontal or vertical orien-
tation as shown in fig.5.
•
ATTENTION
y
Do not adjust the nozzle during operation. Always first
release the trigger switch before adjusting the spray gun.
SETTING THE PAINT FLOW RATE
y
Using the control knob (fig.1, position 3), set a higher
flow rate by turning the knob towards the „+“ symbol
and the a lower flow rate by turning it towards the
„-“ symbol. Turning the control knob will set the level
to which the trigger switch can be pressed. To set the
optimal flow rate, it is necessary to carry out a practical
test on a sample sprayed material.
INSERTING THE BATTERY
y
Insert the battery into the respective location in as
shown in fig.1, so that it audibly clicks into place.
VI. Method of work
•
ATTENTION
y
Do not use the spray gun in windy weather conditions.
Wind carries away the sprayed liquid, which
results in uneven application of the paint
and,
furthermore, the wind may carry the dispersed paint
into the surrounding environment and impact people,
animals, food, pollute the environment or a water sour-
ce, or electrical equipment.
y
To achieve optimal results (quality of the applied coat),
first test out work with the spray gun on, for example,
a piece of cardboard or a wooden board, etc.
y
Adjust the amount of the sprayed liquid using the
control knob.
y
When applying the coat to small surfaces, use the cont-
rol knob to set a low flow rate.
y
Always start the spraying process approximately 10 cm
away from the sprayed surface and also finish spraying
