Spend some time practising on cardboard or a similar surface in order
to determine the right ow rate of paint and air for the best spray
pattern. Detailed information about these settings can be found in
chapter 11-12.
11. Selecting the Spray Setting
WARNING! DANGER OF INJURY! Never pull the trigger guard while adjusting
the air cap.
Align spray direction lever to desired pattern as indicated (Fig. 4).
Fig. 5 A = vertical at jet  for large areas; side to side motion
Fig. 5 B = horizontal at jet  for large areas; up and down motion
Fig. 5 C = circular jet  for corners, edges and hard-to-reach surfaces
12. Adjusting the Material Volume
Set the material volume by turning the material volume screw adjusting screen on the
rear of the spray gun (Fig 6).
+ turn anticlockwise higher material volume
– turn clockwise  lower material volume
13. Spray Technique
i
The spray result depends heavily on the smoothness and cleanliness of the
surface to be sprayed. Therefore the surface should be carefully prepared and
kept free of dust.
•
Cover all surfaces not to be sprayed.
•
Cover screw threads or similar parts of the target object.
i
Important: Start at the edge of the area to be sprayed. Start the spray
movement rst of all, and then press the trigger. Avoid interruptions
within the area to be sprayed.
•
The spray movement should come from the arm, not just from the wrist. This ensures that
a uniform distance is maintained between the spray gun and the spray surface during
the spray operation. Select a distance of 5 - 15 cm, depending on the desired spray jet
width. When you are using interior wall paint, the distance should be about 20-30 cm.
