6.1.2 Nozzle diameter
The size of the nozzle and fl uid needle to use
depends on the viscosity of the material. Depen-
ding on the viscosity, use the 2.0 mm dia. nozzle
(colour red, for lower viscosity) or the 2.5 mm dia.
nozzle (colour: black, for higher viscosity). The
fl uid needle in the gun is suitable for both nozzle
diameters.
6.2 Working with the paint spray gun (Fig. 6)
Note! Cover all surfaces which must be protected
from the spray, even areas which are further away
from the place where you are working. A fi ne mist
from the spray gun can spread to areas in the
wider surroundings indoors and outdoors, and the
material will be deposited on surfaces there.
•
Unscrew the container (12) from the paint
spray gun.
•
Align the material tube (11) for the object you
are working on.
•
Spaying on horizontal objects: Rotate the ma-
terial tube (11) towards the front.
•
Spaying on raised objects: Rotate the materi-
al tube (11) towards the rear.
•
Never continue spraying until the container
is completely empty. If the material tube no
longer reaches the spray material, the spray
flow will be interrupted and the coverage on
the surface will be uneven.
•
Once you have performed the viscosity mea-
surement as described in 6.1.1, place the
container (12) on some paper, pour in the ma-
terial you have prepared and tightly screw the
container (12) back into the paint spray gun.
•
The paint spray gun may only be set down
on a clean, even surface. Otherwise it may
tip over.
•
After each cleaning (see 8.1) or change of fan
pattern (see 6.3), tighten the air cap retaining
ring (1) to prevent material from leaking out
between the air cap retaining ring and the air
cap (2).
6.3 Adjusting the fan pattern (Fig. 7)
You can set the paint spray gun to produce three
diff erent fan patterns to suit your needs.
Loosen the air cap retaining ring (1) and rotate
the air cap (2) to the desired position. Re-tighten
the air cap retaining ring.
Selecting the fan pattern:
A: vertical fan
-> for horizontal surfaces
Anl_SA_TC_SY_500_S_SPK8.indb 32
Anl_SA_TC_SY_500_S_SPK8.indb 32
GB
B: horizontal fan
-> for vertical surfaces
C: Round fan
-> for corners, edges and surfaces that are dif-
fi cult to access
Risk of injury!
Never press the trigger while you are adjusting
the jet.
6.4 Adjusting the material fl ow (Fig. 8)
You can rotate the max. paint volume control to
regulate the material fl ow.
- direction-> lower material fl ow
+ direction-> higher material fl ow
6.5 Spraying techniques
•
The results you get depend on how smooth
and clean the surface is. The surface must be
carefully prepared and free of dust.
•
Surfaces, threads, etc. which should not be
sprayed must be covered.
•
Always set the spray gun down on cardboard
or something similar. You can use the card-
board as a target to properly adjust the spray
gun.
Important:
Always begin spraying outside of the area to be
sprayed and avoid interrupting spraying inside the
area to be sprayed.
•
Wrong (Fig. 9): If you only rotate the spray
gun from side to side, the gun will produce a
heavy mist and the coverage will be uneven.
•
Right (Fig. 10): Always hold the spray gun at
the same distance (about 5-15 cm) from the
surface you are working on.
•
Move the spray gun uniformly laterally or up
and down depending on the fan pattern.
•
Uniform motion of the spray gun produces
uniform finish quality.
•
If material residue is deposited on the nozzle
(3) and the air cap (2), clean both parts with
solvent or water.
