Suitable spray materials and recommended diluting
agents
When diluting, pay attention that the spray material
and the diluting agent correspond. When using a faulty
diluting agent, lumps can develop that can lead to clogging
of the spray gun.
Spray material
Wood preservatives, mordants/strip-
pers, oils, varnishes, impregnations,
rust-protection primers
Disinfectants, plant protectants, water,
wallpaper stripper
Solvent or water-dilutable paints,
primers, radiator paint, automotive top
coats, thick-coat finishes
The tool is not suitable for processing dispersion paint (wall
paint/latex).
Please also observe the practical advice/tips of the spray ma-
terial manufacturers.
Diluting Spray Material
For spray material that needs to be diluted, proceed as fol-
lows:
– Take the measuring cup 22.
– Stir the spray material thoroughly.
– Fill a sufficient quantity of spray material into the spray-
material container 8. (see "Filling in Spray Material",
page 17)
– Dilute the spray material by 10 % with paint thinner. Ex-
amples:
Amount of spray material [ml]
Paint thinner [ml]
– Stir the spray material thoroughly.
– Carry out a test-spray run on a test surface. (see "Spray-
ing", page 17)
When the spraying pattern is perfect, start the spray job.
or
When the spraying result is not satisfactory or when no paint
comes out, please continue as described under "Correction of
Malfunctions" on page 19.
Filling in Spray Material (see figures C1–C2)
Before any work on the machine itself, pull the mains
plug.
– Unscrew the container 8 from the spray gun.
– Turn the suction tube 10 so that the spray material can be
sprayed with almost no residue:
For spray jobs on horizontal
surfaces/objects
For spray jobs overhead
– Fill the spray material into the container and screw the con-
tainer firmly to the spray gun.

When coating material builds up on the nozzle and air cap,
clean both parts with the corresponding solvent.
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage of the pow-
er source must agree with the voltage specified on the
nameplate of the machine. Power tools marked with
230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
During operation, the base unit must always stand hor-
izontally on a level surface. Never tilt the base unit or
set it upright when switched on.
Pay attention that the base unit cannot draw in dust or
other contamination during operation.
Make sure never to spray on the base unit.
