Preparing the Spray Material

The paints usually need to be diluted for use with the spray gun. You will find guidelines
for sprayable dilutions in the following viscosity table (viscosity = consistency of the paint).
You can achieve the correct dilution by using the viscosity test cup.
Spray Material
Thinner-soluble varnishes/
primers
Water-soluble varnishes /
primers
Automobile spray paint
Wood preservatives,
disinfectants, plant protectants,
polishes, strippers, oils
Hammer effect enamel
Aluminium paints
Measuring the Viscosity
Dip the viscosity test cup (Illus. 1) completely into the spray material. Hold the test cup up
and measure the time (in seconds) until the liquid empties out. Compare the measured
"runout time" with the Viscosity Table.
Start-up
Before connecting to the mains supply, please be sure that the supply voltage is identical
with the value given on the rating plate (on the side of the spray gun).
1) Dilute the spray material according to the above table.
2) Place the container on a sheet of paper and fill it with the prepared spray material.
Attention! Do not operate the spray gun without spray material in the
container; this can lead to increased wear of the pump!
3) Position the spray gun on the container and turn the container to the right until the
container fits tightly (Illus. 2, arrow).
4) Activate the switch to start up the spray gun.
First the spray gun sucks in spray material, then after a few seconds the material emerges
from the nozzle. To accelerate the intake, turn the fine adjustment button to maximum.
