Working Advice

Spraying (see figures D–E)
Note: Observe the wind direction when operat-
ing the power tool outdoors.
– Firstly, carry out a test-spray run and adjust
the spray pattern and the spray material
quantity according to the spray material. (For
adjustments, see the following sections)
– Make sure to hold the spray gun vertical to
the spray object at a uniform clearance be-
tween 5 – 15 cm.
– Begin the spraying procedure outside the tar-
get area.
– Move the spray gun evenly cross-wise or up-
and-down, depending on the spray pattern
setting.
An even surface quality is achieved when the
paths overlap by 4 – 5 cm.
– Avoid interruptions inside the target area.
