Advice on use / Bringing into use

guidelines to achieve a suitable viscosity (see table). Use a suitable thinner to achieve the required thinning of the medium.

JNever 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.

JEnsure 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.

JConsult 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!

Example of	DIN guidance
material	value
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
Wood impregnation	25-30	DIN-sec
Glaze	25-30	DIN-sec
Hammer finish paint	30-35	DIN-sec*
Emulsion paint	40-80	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.

QPreparing the surface to be sprayed

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

jRoughen smooth surfaces and remove any abraded dust.

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

QBringing into use

QSelecting 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

QSwitching On / Off

Switching on:

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

Switching off:

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

QSpraying 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
