Storage
Always disconnect all pneumatic appliances if not used.
Always store the appliance at a dry place.
Assembly and first putting into operation (pic. III)
After unpacking, the appliance needs to be carefully
inspected for possible damage at transport. It is also
necessary to unconditionally ensure that all screws,
connections, etc. were tightened.
Mix and dilute the colour according to producer's
instructions. Most of the colours can be processed better
when correspondingly diluted.
Before processing, it is recommended to re-filter the
colour.
Fill the container to ¾.
Do not exceed in any case the maximum pressure
of the gun or other system components for compression!
Ensure that the vacuum container was correctly closed
and the air hose firmly connected to the gun.
Prepare a piece of cardboard that you can use during
adjustment.
Never aim the gun at other persons or yourself,
failing which there can be serious injuries.
Connect the gun now (see pic. III) to the compressed air
source.
Upon compressor switching on, check the substance
density, aim the gun at the cardboard and trigger the
starter several times. If the material is too dense, add
some solvent and proceed very carefully and do not
deviate from the substance density recommended by the
producer.
Setting (pic. I) + (pic. II)
The spraying shape, outlet volume and general appearance
of the colour layer can be set as follows.
A round or elliptical spraying shape can be reached by
turning on the air volume controller
(2)
.
The outlet colour volume reduces on the colour volume
controller
(3)
by turning rightwards. Turning leftwards
increases the squirted liquid volume.
The air volume reduces on the air pressure controller
(6)
by
turning rightwards and increases by turning leftwards.
(pic. II)
•
K spray is wrong.
The layer thickness does not differ much at
swinging.
•
L spray is correct.
Always apply evenly “wet spraying to wet“
•
Optimum spray can be reached at a distance
of app. 15-20 cm. A too small distance and too
fast or too slow motions result in wrong spray.
Tip:
Take a piece of cardboard and make test spraying
before each work.
Maintenance and treatment
Disconnect the appliance from compressed air
source at maintenance and treatment.
Clean and treat the gun
immediately
after varnishing with a
maximum care. A cleaned gun guarantees trouble-free
handling at another use. If the nozzle is removed at cleaning,
the thread and seal must be treated with light fat. That will
prevent nozzle “biting in“.
Attention: Do not put the entire gun to a bath with solvent.
The nozzle and nozzle needle are quickly-worn parts,
therefore you should always have a set of spare nozzles with
you.
Store the pneumatic tools/appliances in dry rooms only.
Only a regularly maintained and treated appliance can serve
as a satisfactory aid. Insufficient maintenance and care can
lead to unforeseen accidents and injuries.
