Preparation of the material to be sprayed
The product can be used to spray diluted water-based
paints and varnishes. For detailed information, please
refer to the technical data sheet provided by the paint
manufacturer (> Internet download).
• Stir the material thoroughly and dilute it in the con-
tainer in accordance with the dilution recommenda-
tion. The use of a stirrer is recommended for stirring.
Recommended dilution
Water-dilutable paints and primers
Water-dilutable interior wall paints
* The values stated in the dilution recommendation are
guidelines.
The optimum dilution for the material used must be de-
termined by a spray test.
Cleaning instructions
The product must be thoroughly cleaned after each use
and before prolonged breaks.
• Also observe the information in the operating in-
structions for interruptions in work (short interrup-
tions, chapter 11).
• For longer interruptions in work, see chapter 13 in
the operating instructions.
Preparing the spray surface
WARNING! Danger of electric shock due to penetrat-
ing spray material! Be sure to tape down sockets and
switches.
• Thoroughly cover a generous area around the area
to be sprayed. Any uncovered areas or surfaces
may otherwise become contaminated.
• Make sure that the spray surface is clean, dry and
free of grease.
• Roughen smooth surfaces and then remove the
sanding dust.
Spray technique
• Always keep the paint spray gun at the same distance
from the object and hold at a right angle. The ideal
spraying distance is approx. 20 - 25 cm. Move the paint
spray gun evenly with the whole arm (see Fig. 11).
• Determine the appropriate settings in each case by
trial and error, e.g. on a piece of cardboard.
• Do not switch the device on/off over the spray area,
but start and end the spraying process approx. 10
cm outside the spray area.
