Product Description
Key components of the paint gun:
- ON/OFF switch
- Air intake
- Trigger
- Flow regulator
- Tank/Vessel
- Power cord
- Spray head
- Mouthpiece
- Union nut
Note: Not all accessories illustrated or described may be included in the standard delivery.
The airflow generated by the motor fan flows into the paint gun. The air flow serves to atomize the coating material at the nozzle and to pressurize the container. This pressure promotes the coating material through the riser tube to the nozzle. Air pressure and flow are adjustable.
Set Up
Lining Materials
Coating materials include solvent- and water-based paints, finishes, primers, two-component paints, varnishes, automotive finishes, stains, and wood preservatives.
Preparation of the Investment Material
Before spraying, it may be necessary to thin the material being used with the appropriate thinner as specified by the material manufacturer. Never exceed the dilution advice given by the manufacturer.
Viscosity Measurement
Viscosity is the thickness of liquid coating material.
- Shake spray material well before measuring viscosity.
- Immerse the viscosity cup completely in the spray material.
- Then hold the viscosity cup up and measure the time in seconds until the liquid is emptied. This time is known as the completion time.

Spray Work
Spray Work with Elevated Objects
- Fill the container with the coating material. Tighten the thread of the gun.
- Connect the gun to the power supply, making sure the voltage corresponds to the nameplate.
- Turn on the unit. Adjust spray pattern, material adjustment amount, airflow, and pressure.
- Press the trigger of the spray gun.
Note: With the unit turned on, the air cap flows in the air.
Spray Gun Adjustment
Selection of spray patterns:
- A = Spray vertically: For horizontal surfaces.
- B = Spray horizontally: For vertical surfaces.
- C = Circular shape spray: For corners, edges, and others.
Setting the desired spray pattern:
- The shape of the spray pattern is adjusted by turning the nozzle nut to the vertical, horizontal, or diagonal position.
- To adjust the spray pattern, unscrew the union nut counterclockwise to remove it from the paint gun.
- Pull and rotate the spray head to the requested position.
- Screw the union nut back onto the paint gun.
- Try each pattern and use the pattern that is right for your application.
Note: During adjustment of the spray head, never pull the trigger.
Flow Rate Adjustment
The volume of the material will be adjusted by turning the flow regulator screw.
- + Turn Right: More Flow Rate
- - Turn left: Lower flow rate
Spray Methods
The result of spraying depends fundamentally on how smooth and clean the surface is before spraying. Therefore, the surface must be pre-treated and free of dust.
Those parts of the surface or object to be sprayed must be covered with adhesive tape or newspaper so as not to be sprayed. Also cover screws or the like on the object being sprayed.
It is important to pre-work cardboard or a similar surface spray sample to find the correct spray gun setting.
Attention
Make sure the surface to be painted is continuous and allows you to move safely. Avoid spray cuts in the intended path.
Figure 11: Keep the spray gun necessarily at the same distance of about 5-15cm to the object being sprayed.
Figure 12: Make multiple passes to get a better result. Move the spray gun evenly up or down, depending on the projection fan setting. An even motion when painting will give you a better quality finish.
Clean as coating material builds up on the nozzle and air cap (A and B) both parts with solvents or water.
Work Stoppages
- Power off the device.
- Place the spray gun on the spray gun holder.
Cleaning
- Power off the device.
- Press the trigger so that the paint returns to the container.
- Unscrew the container.
- Empty the remaining paint.
- Clean containers and tubes with suitable cleaning tools.
