Advice on use / Bringing into use

Use a suitable thinner to achieve the required thinning of the medium.

Never exceed the maximum viscosity for the device. The sprayed medium must not be too thick for the spraying process, otherwise it could clog up the device.

Ensure that the sprayed medium and the thinner are compatible with one another. If the wrong thinner is used, it can lead to lumps forming which may clog up the device. Never mix nitro- thinners with synthetic resin paint.

Consult the sprayed medium manufacturer’s documentation for information about suitable thinners (water, solvents).

1.Thoroughly mix the unthinned sprayed medium and bring it to average room temperature (20 - 22 °C).

Do not increase the temperature to change the viscosity.

2.Add a suitable thinner.

3.Test the viscosity as described above (see Fig. C).

NOTE: Never use nitro-thinners to thin synthetic resin paint!

Car body paint	16-20 DIN-sec

Acrylic paint	25-30 DIN-sec

Synthetic resin paint	25-30 DIN-sec

Primer	25-30 DIN-sec

*This device cannot be used to spray media contain- ing discrete particles / solids. The abrasive eﬀect of these media shortens pump and valve life.

Preparing the surface to be sprayed

The surface to be sprayed must be clean, dry and free of grease.

Roughen smooth surfaces and remove any abraded dust.

Always cover the surrounding area around the surface to be sprayed. The spray cloud may contaminate the surrounding area.

Bringing into use

Selecting the nozzle

Nozzle	Use

Nozzle, 0.6 mm	all paints, varnishes

Nozzle, 0.8 mm	thick-ﬂowing sprayed
	media

Cleaning nozzle	a thinner, harder spray
	for spot-cleaning of sur-
	faces

Nozzle extension	for spraying in high or
	low, more diﬃcult to
	reach corners

Switching ON / OFF

Switching on:

To start the electrical power tool, press the ON / OFF switch 3 and keep it pressed.

Switching off:

To switch oﬀ the electrical power tool, release the ON / OFF switch 3 .

Spraying process

1.You can vary the spray by adjusting the regulator button 2 (see Fig. D). The spray is correctly set when no drops are formed and the gun produces a ﬁne, consistent spray pattern.

2.Do not switch the device on or oﬀ while it is over the surface to be sprayed. Instead, start
