Adjusting the airflow
NOTE
►
We recommend starting with the airflow set
to maximum. To do this, open the airflow
regulator to maximum as described below
in the section "Increasing the airflow".
Increasing the airflow:
NOTE
►
Increasing the airflow is generally advisable
if the dispersion is too coarse.
♦
Turn the airflow control anticlockwise.
Decreasing the airflow:
NOTE
►
Decreasing the airflow is generally advisable
if the paint mist is too strong.
♦
Turn the airflow control clockwise.
Maintenance and cleaning
WARNING! RISK OF INJURY!
Disconnect the appliance from the
compressed air supply.
NOTE
►
Thorough cleaning after every use is very
important for safety and operation. Other-
wise, the needle could get blocked and
proper operation of the appliance cannot
be guaranteed.
■
Wear suitable gloves when cleaning.
■
Do not use any hydrocarbon-based solvents
like benzene, ethyl chloride, etc., as these could
trigger chemical reactions with some of the
materials in the paint spray gun. This can lead
to dangerous reactions.
CAUTION!
►
Never immerse the paint spray gun com-
pletely in solvent.
■
After every use, squirt thinners (
only outside
– risk of explosion!
) or water through the
appliance.
♦
To clean the housing, the nozzle head and the
spray holes inside it, use the supplied cleaning
brush or a cloth. Never use petrol, solvents or
cleansers which can damage plastic.
♦
First, unscrew the stroke limiter screw by turning
it in an anticlockwise
direction.
♦
Remove the spring .
♦
Remove the needle using pliers (see fig. A).
♦
Clean the needle carefully with the brush
(see fig. B).
♦
Replace the needle in the paint spray gun.
♦
Push the spring onto the end of the needle .
♦
Screw the stroke limiter screw tight by turning
it clockwise
.
♦
Screw the flow cup anticlockwise
off the
spray gun.

Remove the filter as shown in fig. C and
clean it with the cleaning brush.
♦
Also clean the inner screw thread of the flow
cup using the cleaning brush (see fig. D).
♦
Replay the filter in the spray gun (see fig. C)
and screw the flow cup clockwise
firmly
onto it.
♦
For rust protection purposes, you can spray a
little sewing machine oil through the spray gun
after cleaning.
♦
Oil all moving parts from time to time.
♦
After cleaning the needle, the thread and seal
must be lightly greased with a suitable lubricant.
♦
Do not use any silicon-based lubricants.

Store compressed-air appliances only in dry
rooms.
