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, assessing
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
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 middle 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 material`s
label to determine which cleaning material you need.
• The following solvent-based cleaning products are
safe to use in the Airless Paint Sprayer: Mineral tur-
pentine, paint thinner
• NOTE: Mineral turpentine must not be mixed with
water at any stage during the cleaning process.
• We recommend 1-2 litres of the appropriate sol-
vent-based cleaner when performing cleaning pro-
cedure.
12.2 Cleaning the unit
m IMPORTANT! The cleaning process must be fol-
lowed immediately after use to prevent paint from
drying inside the pump and hose. Failure to follow the
cleaning instructions promptly may permanently seize
the paint sprayer and automatically void the warranty.
1. Turn the pressure control dial (9) to the "prime/
clean" setting.(Fig. 14)
2. Set the prime/spray lever (19) to the "prime" posi-
tion. (Fig. 12)
3. Place the suction Hose (11) into a bucket of appro-
priate cleaning solution. Place the return hose (10)
into an empty bucket. (Fig. 29)
4. Turn on the machine by pressing "I" on the On/Off
Switch (14). (Fig. 13) Check the return hose (10)
and wait for a constant stream of cleaning solution
to pass out of it.
5. Set the prime/spray lever (19) to "spray" position
(Fig.17).
6. Aim the spray gun (6) into an empty bucket, then
squeeze and hold the trigger (3) until most of the
paint is removed from the spray hose (1). (Fig. 30)
7. Lock the spray gun trigger (3). (Fig. 10)
8. Rotate the spray tip (5) 180° to the cleaning side.
(Fig. 31)
9. Unlock the spray gun trigger (3) and hold the trig-
ger (3) to spray the cleaning solution through the
system (Fig. 11).
