any screws.
i)
Do not leave this appliance unattended while it is in
use.
j)
Clean the device regularly to prevent stubborn grime
from accumulating.
k)
Only use air to supply the device, do not use any other
gases.
l)
At locations where there is a high risk of mechanical
damage, use a reinforced hose for compressed air
connections.
m)
Before each use ensure the nozzle is correctly installed
in the device and that the hose is correctly attached
and undamaged.
n)
The air supplied to the device should be dry, clean
and free of contamination. Contamination can clog
the conduits and lead to damage to the device and its
components.
o)
Do not carry or hang the device by the pressure line.
p)
Do not exceed the recommended supply pressure as
this may damage the device.
q)
Do not cover the air intake and outlet.
r)
The device is not a toy. Cleaning and maintenance may
not be carried out by children without supervision by
an adult person.
s)
It is forbidden to interfere with the structure of
the device in order to change its parameters or
construction.
t)
Keep the device away from sources of fire and heat.
u)
Do not cure coated items in a gas oven as they can
emit flammable vapors. The product must be cured
in an electric oven designed for this purpose (never in
ovens used for processing food products).

ATTENTION! Despite the safe design of the device
and its protective features, and despite the use of
additional elements protecting the operator, there is
still a slight risk of accident or injury when using the
device. Stay alert and use common sense when using
the device.

3.2. PREPARING FOR USE
APPLIANCE LOCATION
The device should be used in a safe place, dry and clean,
with adequate lighting, active ventilation, no fire source
or ignition. The temperature of environment must not be
higher than 60°C.
ASSEMBLING THE APPLIANCE
1.
Connect the moisture separator [7] to the spray gun.
2.
Unscrew the powder coating container [4] and place it
on a clean piece of paper with the open side up.
3.
Fill it with powder coating (not included) up to 5cm.
4.
Turn the gun upside down and screw in the powder
cup.
5.
Mount the adapter [8] to the moisture separator [7].
6.
Connect the ¼-inch air hose (not included) to the
adapter [8].
7.
Screw in the spray terminal.
8.
Attach the grounding clamp to the coated metal
object.
CAUTION: The grounding clamp should be attached
to the area that will not be coated (or at the end of
work unhook the clamp and coat the fragment using
gravity). This connection is absolutely necessary to
attract electrically charged particles to the coated
object.
Rev. 06.02.2020
3.3. DEVICE USE
The cleaned and prepared for painting device should be
placed near ventilation and grounded. If the object has
grooves or recesses, it should be positioned so that the
powder coating can fill it by gravity. After filling the container
with powder coating and installing the device, you can start
painting. Before painting, it is recommended to carry out
a test on a piece of scrap metal.
CAUTION: If the pattern is too small or too large, adjust
the screw [10]. To enlarge the pattern, loosen the screw, to
reduce the pattern, tighten the screw.. It is recommended to
start work on a fully tightened screw and gradually unscrew
it until the desired pattern is obtained.
1.
Turn on the compressor and set the air pressure
regulator to between 1 and 3,5 bar. Small pressure
changes can be made using the pressure reducing
valve [10] during operation.
2.
To start spraying,, press the trigger of the spray gun
[6].
CAUTION: When coating, keep the gun approximately
12,5 cm from the object to be coated. The gun should
be pointed at different angles to ensure complete
coverage. When finished, the object should be
completely covered with a matte, non-transparent
layer of powder coating.
3.
Wipe the spray terminal with a clean cloth.
4.
Disconnect the air hose from the spray gun.
5.
Turn the gun upside down, unscrew the powder
coating
container
and
funnel
the
remaining
uncontaminated powder out into the original
container.
NOTE: The powder cloud is explosive. Before pouring
the powder, remove all possible ignitable elements
from the workplace.
6.
Before stiffening, obtain suitable protective measures
(mask, gloves).
7.
Heat the oven to the desired temperature (150 to 260
° C), place the object on the wire rack, close the door
and switch on the ventilation system. The standard
stiffening time is 15 minutes, but follow the powder
coating manufacturer's instructions. Stiffening time
may also depend on a product size.
CAUTION: Check stiddening status frequently. The
powder coating should fuse to a smooth, glossy
substance throughout the entire facility. Excessive
stiffening can cause surface roughness and the
formation of so-called orange peels.
8. After stiffening, turn the oven off and gently open the
door to allow the object to cool slowly.
ATTENTION: Cooling the object too quickly may cause
the tarnish of the surface.
TIPS FOR THE PAINTING AND STIFFENING PROCESSES
1.
For painting, use appropriate coatings suitable for
tribostatic method.
2.
Before changing the coating, thoroughly clean the
powder container. Mixtures of different powders can
cause pits in the object to be coated.
3.
Porous objects may require thorough cleaning and
pre-painting.
4.
If the powder begins to accumulate in one place, blow
it gently with compressed air. Powder accumulation

can also be caused by excessive moisturizing. The
moisture separator needs to be replaced.
5.
If the pattern has too small diameter in relation to the
selected spray terminal, adjust the pressure or replace
the moisture separator.
6.
To remove the orange peel effect, sand the object
with 400 grit sandpaper, dry and repeat the coating
process.
7.
To remove the stiffened coating, you can use a car
paint cleaner..
