Operation
Connecting the appliance
■
The product may only be operated using
cleaned, condensate- and oil-free compressed
air and may not exceed the maximum operating
pressure stated in the section entitled "Technical
data" on the appliance.
■
To ensure that you can regulate the air pressure,
the compressed air source should be equipped
with a (filter) pressure reducer.
You will need a flexible compressed air hose with
a quick-disconnect coupling and a suitable com-
pressed air source to operate this appliance. Fol-
low all the operating and safety instructions for the
compressed air source and any special instructions
regarding paint preparation.
NOTE
►
Take note of the correct working pressure.
Excessively high pressure leads to strong
dispersion and overly-rapid liquid evapora-
tion. The surfaces become rough and develop
poor adhesion properties. If, however, the
working pressure is too low, the paint will not
be adequately dispersed. This leads to wavy
surfaces and droplets.
♦
Connect the compressed air hose with the quick
coupling
to the compressed air connection
,
,
or
on the relevant appliance. The
connection locks automatically.
♦
Connect the compressed air connection
the compressed air source.
♦
Set the working pressure on the filter pressure
reducer of the compressed air source to the
working pressure stated in the section entitled
"Technical data".

Operating the air spray gun
Preparing the surface
♦
Carefully cover a large area around the spray
surface. Any surface that is not masked could
become contaminated.
♦
Ensure that the surface is clean, dry and free of
grease.
♦
Polished surfaces should be lightly sanded and
the sanding dust removed.
Switching the air spray gun on and
off
Working methods:
♦
When thinning, ensure that the spray material
and the thinners are suitable for each other.
Using an unsuitable thinner can lead to the
formation of lumps which, in turn, can block the
air spray gun.
♦
Fill the suction cup
♦
Screw the suction cup
by turning it anticlockwise.
♦
Hold the air spray gun at a constant distance
from the object. The ideal spraying distance is
approx. 15 cm.
♦
Work out the best settings by carrying out a test.
♦
Do not switch the appliance on/off over the
spray surface, rather start/end the spraying
process approx. 10 cm from the spray surface.
