Connecting the Air Hose (see figures A1 – A3)
– Open the elastic band 23 and completely unwind the air
hose 18.
Connecting the base unit:
– Insert a bayonet lock 19 of the air hose securely into the
slots in the base unit port 27 according to the arrow marks.
– Turn the bayonet lock a quarter turn clockwise.
Connecting to the spray gun:
– Insert the second bayonet lock 19 of the air hose securely
into the slots in the spray gun port 8 according to the arrow
marks.
– Turn the bayonet lock a quarter turn clockwise.
Note: Remove the air hose 18 before pouring in spray materi-
al (quarter turn of the bayonet lock 19 counterclockwise; pull
the bayonet lock 19 out of the port 8).
Changing the Nozzle Cap (see figures B1–B2)
The fine-spray system is supplied with two nozzle caps:
Nozzle cap 9 Nozzle cap 10
Colour white
Delivery condition Mounted
Application "Wall"
Note: Check the spray material by stirring it before selecting
the nozzle cap. Thin-viscosity material (e.g. wood paint) can
be sprayed better with the grey nozzle cap 10. Thick-viscosity
material (e.g. wood lacquer or wall paint) can be sprayed bet-
ter with the white nozzle cap 9.
– To change the nozzle cap, unscrew the union nut 3.
– Pull off the air cap 2.
– Unscrew the mounted nozzle cap.
– Open the air filter cover 26 and take the required nozzle
cap out of the accessory compartment 28.
– Screw the required nozzle cap onto the thread in the spray
gun.
– Put the air cap 2 on the nozzle cap and tighten it with the
union nut 3.
Operation
 Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.

Preparing for Operation

 Spraying on the sides of water bodies (lakes, rivers,
etc.) or neighbouring surfaces in the direct catchment
area is not permitted.
When purchasing paint, varnish and spray material, pay at-
tention to their environmental compatibility.
Preparing the Spray Surface
The spray surface must be clean, dry and grease-free.
– Roughen smooth surfaces and then remove the sanding
dust.
Bosch Power Tools
When spraying, all non-covered surfaces can be soiled by the
spray mist. Therefore, thoroughly prepare the area around
the surface to be sprayed:
– Cover or mask off floors, furnishings, doors, windows as
well as door and window frames, etc.
Preparing the Spray Material
– Stir the spray material thoroughly.
– Dilute the spray material if necessary.
Spray material
Oils, glazes, impregnations, anti-rust
primers
Solvent-dilutable or water-dilutable lac-
quers, primers, radiator lacquers, thick-
coat glazes
Emulsion paint, latex paint
 When diluting, pay attention that the spray material
and the diluting agent correspond. When using a faulty
diluting agent, lumps can develop that can lead to clogging
of the spray gun.

Filling in Spray Material (see figures C1–C2)
Note: Remove the air hose 18 before pouring in spray materi-
al (quarter turn of the bayonet lock 19 counterclockwise; pull
the bayonet lock 19 out of the port 8).
– When using large buckets, pour the spray material into a
smaller transfer bucket 12 if necessary (e.g. 10-l wall paint
into an empty 2.5 or 5.0-l bucket).
– Hold the spray gun in place with one hand and use
the other hand to turn the container 7 towards the
open symbol.
– Pull the spray gun off the container 7.
– If you are using already opened spray material, place the
thoroughly cleaned filling sieve 11 on the container 7 to
hold back any lumps of paint when pouring in.
– Pour the spray material into the container 7 up to no more
than the 1000 mark.
– Put the spray gun on the container 7. Turn the con-
tainer 7 towards the close symbol until you hear the
lock ring 6 engage.
– Carry out a test-spray run on a test surface. (see "Spray-
ing", page 22)
When the spraying pattern is perfect, start the spray job.

When the spraying result is not satisfactory or when no paint
comes out, please continue as described under "Correction of
Malfunctions" on page 24.
