The heat gun rapidly heats up to 1202°F (650°C) in seconds and maintains stable performance. It includes overheat protection and a cooling mode for safety and extended machine life.

4. Setup Instructions

4.1 Paint Sprayer Setup

1. Prepare the Work Area: Ensure your work area is clean, well-ventilated, and free from obstructions. Cover any surfaces you do not wish to paint.
2. Assemble the Sprayer: Connect the spray gun to the hose and the hose to the main motor unit. Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Prepare the Paint:
   • Measure Viscosity: Use the provided viscosity cup to measure the paint's thickness. Fill the cup with paint and time how long it takes for the paint to completely drain. Refer to your paint manufacturer's recommendations for ideal viscosity. The sprayer supports up to 150DIN.
   • Dilute Paint (if necessary): If the paint is too thick, dilute it with the appropriate thinner (water for latex, mineral spirits for oil-based paints) until the desired viscosity is achieved. Mix thoroughly.
   • Filter Paint: Use the provided filter paper to strain the diluted paint before pouring it into the paint container. This step is crucial to prevent clogging of the nozzle and ensure a smooth spray.

4. Fill Paint Container: Securely attach the paint container to the spray gun.
5. Select Nozzle: Choose the appropriate nozzle size (1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.5mm, or 3.0mm) based on the paint type and desired spray pattern. Larger nozzles are generally for thicker paints.

4.2 Heat Gun Setup

1. Choose Handle Position: Decide whether to use the heat gun handheld or in its freestanding position. To rotate the handle, press the release button and manually rotate the handle counter-clockwise until it locks into place.
2. Select Nozzle (if applicable): Attach any specific nozzles or accessories required for your task (e.g., deflector nozzle for paint stripping).

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Operating the Paint Sprayer

1. Adjust Spray Pattern: The sprayer offers three adjustable spray patterns: horizontal, vertical, and round. Rotate the air cap to select the desired pattern.

2. Adjust Material Flow: Use the material flow control knob to regulate the amount of paint sprayed. Start with a lower setting and increase as needed.
3. Test Spray: Before spraying your actual project, perform a test spray on a piece of scrap material to ensure the correct pattern and flow.
4. Spraying Technique: Hold the sprayer approximately 6-12 inches from the surface, maintaining a consistent distance. Move the sprayer in smooth, even strokes, overlapping each pass slightly to ensure even coverage. Avoid tilting the sprayer excessively.
5. Working Area: The 700W motor provides efficient coverage for up to 530 sq ft, making it suitable for large projects.

5.2 Operating the Heat Gun

1. Power On and Select Temperature: Plug in the heat gun. Use the temperature control switch to select the desired heat setting:
   • I: 50°C (122°F) - For venting/cooling, or delicate tasks.
   • II: 300°C (572°F) - Medium heat for general tasks like bending plastic or thawing pipes.
   • III: 600°C (1112°F) - High heat for demanding tasks like paint stripping or loosening rusted bolts.
2. Allow to Heat Up: The heat gun will reach its operating temperature quickly (within seconds).
3. Directing Heat: Point the nozzle directly at the workpiece. Maintain a safe distance to avoid scorching or damaging the material.
4. Cool Down: After use, switch the heat gun to setting 'I' (cooling mode) for a few minutes before unplugging and storing. This helps to cool down the internal components and extends the tool's lifespan.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your BATAVIA tool.

6.1 Paint Sprayer Maintenance

6.2 Heat Gun Maintenance

• Cool Down: Always allow the heat gun to cool completely after use before handling or storing.
• Clean Air Vents: Periodically check and clean the air intake and exhaust vents to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating. Use a soft brush or compressed air.
• Exterior Cleaning: Wipe the exterior of the heat gun with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
