as the continuous flow out of the bottom is
interrupted, stop the timer. Repeat until you have
the viscosity you need. This is the „Draining time in
seconds".
6.1.2 Nozzle diameter
The size of the nozzle to use depends on the viscosity
of the material. Depending on the viscosity, use the 1.8
mm dia. nozzle or the 2.6 mm dia. nozzle.
6.2 Working with the paint spray gun (Fig. 6/7)
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 fine mist from the
spray gun can spread to areas in the wider surround-
ings 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 (10) for the object you are
working on.
Spaying on horizontal objects: Rotate the ma- terial
tube (10) towards the front.
Spaying on raised objects: Rotate the materi- al
tube (10) 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
(9) on some paper, pour in the ma- terial you have
prepared and tightly screw the container (9) 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 (3)
to prevent material from leaking out between the air
cap retaining ring and the air cap (2).
6.3 Adjusting the fan pattern (Fig. 8)
You can set the paint spray gun to produce three
different fan patterns to suit your needs.
Loosen the air cap retaining ring (3) 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
GB
B: horizontal fan
-> for vertical surfaces
C: Round fan
-> for corners, edges and surfaces that are dif-
ficult to access
Risk of injury!
Never press the trigger while you are adjusting the jet.
6.4 Adjusting the material flow (Fig. 8)
You can rotate the max. paint volume control to
regulate the material flow.
- direction-> lower material flow
+ direction-> higher material flow
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. 10): 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. 11): Always hold the spray gun at the
same distance (about 20-25 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 (1) and
the air cap (2), clean both parts with solvent or
water.
7. Replacing the power cable
Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-sales
service or similarly trained personnel to avoid danger.
