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 .
