Scheppach ACS3000 Original Bedienungsanleitung Seite 38

NOTE: The motor will cycle On and Off while spraying
to regulate pressure. This will be normal.
m IMPORTANT! When spraying is finished, perform
"Pressure relief procedure" (refer to 10.2).
m IMPORTANT! If you have not finished painting with
your Airless Paint Sprayer and want to take a short
break (30-60 minutes), do not leave paint inside the
pump. Follow the cleaning instructions (chapter 12) to
prevent paint from dying inside the pump and hose.
Once you`re ready to begin work again, begin with
chapter 9. Once properly primed again, aim the spray
gun into a waste bucket and allow 30 seconds for any
leftover cleaning solution to be flushed out of the sys-
tem. Then resume painting as before.
m IMPORTANT! Mineral Turpentine should not be
mixed with water at any stage during the cleaning pro-
cess.
11.2 Test spray settings (Fig. 22-24)
Note: Ensure you follow the "spraying procedure" in-
structions (11.1) before testing the spraying settings of
the Airless Paint Sprayer.
11.2.1 Setting the pressure (Fig. 22)
1. Set the pressure control dial (9) to a medium high
pressure. Then test this pressure setting on a
scrap piece of material (Fig. 22).
2. Adjust the pressure control dial (9) until a smooth
and even consistency is achieved.
11.2.2 Speed of stroke (Fig. 23)
Spray a test patch on a scrap piece of material, assess-
ing the speed of stroke required for pressure setting.
(Fig. 23)
• Lower pressure will require slower stroke speed.
• Higher pressure will require faster stroke speeds.
11.2.3 Aligning the spray tip
1. Follow the "pressure relief procedure" (10.2).
2. Loosen the retaining nut (29) (Fig 24).
3. Rotate the nozzle guard (4) to match the direction
of the preferred spray pattern (Fig. 24).
4. When spray tip at the top: horizontal alignment
5. When spray tip on the side: vertical alignment
38 | GB
NOTE! The alignment of the spray depends on the de-
sired working direction. For horizontal working direc-
tion, a vertical spray is recommended. In the case of
the vertical working direction, a horizontal spray.
11.3 Spraying Technique (Fig. 25-28)
1. Move the spray gun (6) with the entire arm, not by
flexing the wrist. This will keep the spray gun (6)
at right angles to the surface, keeping the pattern
even (Fig. 25).
2. Pull the trigger (3) after starting the stroke, and re-
lease the trigger (3) before ending the stroke. The
spray gun (6) should be moving, when the trigger
(3) is pulled and released (Fig. 26).
3. Keep the spray gun (6) perpendicular to the sur-
face, so spray distance is consistent (Fig. 27).
4. Overlap your strokes by approx. 30% to ensure
even coverage (Fig.28).
NOTE!
• Do not spray outdoors on a windy day as the results
may be unsatisfactory.
• Only apply one coat at a time, always allow a coat to
completely dry before adding another coat.
• Avoid stopping and starting as this can lead to a
patchy finish. It is best to start spraying outside the
surface to be sprayed and avoid stopping in the mid-
dle of the surface, continue just past the opposite
edge.
12. Cleaning and maintenance
m ATTENTION! Prior to any adjustment, maintenance
or service work switch off the machine and disconnect
the mains power plug!
12.1 Select cleaning solution
For water-based material (e.g. acrylic paint):
• Use only water when performing the cleaning pro-
cedure.
m ATTENTION! Use of a solvent-based cleaning ma-
terials on water-based paints will result in a new sub-
stance that will be extremely difficult to clean.
• We recommend the use of 10-15 litres of water when
performing the cleaning procedure.
For oil-based material (e.g. enamel paint , lacquer):
• Use only the appropriate cleaning solution. Read the
cleaning instructions printed on the coating materi-
al`s label to determine which cleaning material you
need.
