14. Setting the Amount of Air (fig. 9)

Depending on the viscosity of the material to be sprayed and the finish of
i
the object to be coated, it may be advisable to vary the amount of air. Very
low viscosity materials, such as watery glazes do not have to be atomised
with the maximum amount of air. In this case it is advisable to reduce
the amount of air and thus minimize the spray vapour.
This also applies for the use of the low-scale and radiator/detail spray attachment
(accessory).
Turn the air quantity regulator (fig. 9.1) until the level you want is above the arrow.

15. Spray technique

The spray result depends heavily on the smoothness and cleanliness of the
i
surface to be sprayed. Therefore the surface should be carefully prepared and
kept free of dust.
•
Cover all surfaces not to be sprayed.
•
Cover screw threads or similar parts of the target object.
important: Start at the edge of the area to be sprayed. Start the spray
i
movement first of all, and then press the trigger. Avoid interruptions
within the area to be sprayed.
•
The spray movement should come from the arm, not just from the wrist. This ensures that
a uniform distance is maintained between the spray gun and the spray surface during
the spray operation. Select a distance of 5 - 15 cm, depending on the desired spray jet
width. When you are using interior wall paint, the distance should be about 20-30 cm.

•
Move the spray gun evenly cross-wise or up-and-down, depending on the spray
pattern setting.
•
An even movement of the spray gun results in an even surface quality.
important: Wipe off the nozzle and air cap regularly
i
to make sure they do not get blocked.
