Filling in Spray Material (see figures B1 – B2)
Before any work on the machine itself, pull
the mains plug.
– Unscrew the container 11 from the spray
gun.
– Turn the suction tube 10 so that the spray
material can be sprayed with almost no resi-
due:
For spray jobs on
horizontal surfaces
/objects
For spray jobs
overhead
– Fill the spray material into the container and
screw the container firmly to the spray gun.
Starting Operation
Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage
of the power 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.
Pay attention that the power tool cannot
draw in dust or other contamination during
operation.
Switching On
– Plug the mains plug into a socket outlet.
– Grasp the power tool and point it at the
spray surface.
The power tool is equipped with a two-step trig-
ger switch 16. The first step starts the turbine.
The second step transports the spraying materi-
al.
– Pull the trigger switch 16 until spraying ma-
terial starts to come out.
Switching Off
– Release the trigger switch 16.
– Pull the mains plug from the socket outlet.

Working Advice
Spraying (see figures C–D)
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.
An even movement of the spray gun results in an
even surface quality.
Non-uniform clearance and spray angle lead to
heavy formation of paint mist and thus to an un-
even surface.
– End the spraying procedure outside the tar-
get area.
Never spray the container completely empty.
When the suction tube no longer immerses in
the spray material, the spray jet will break off,
resulting in a non-uniform surface.
When coating material builds up on the nozzle
and air cap, clean both parts with the corre-
sponding solvent.
Note: Only place down the power tool on a level
and clean surface so that it can not tip over.
