SETTING THE SPRAY GUN

7.1

SETTING THE REQUIRED SPRAY PATTERN

Attention:
Never pull trigger while adjusting the air
cap settings.
The alignment of the spray jet can be determined by turning
the black adjusting ring (Fig. 3, 1).
A horizontal flat jet
B vertical flat jet
It is also possible to switch between a wide ( ) and a compact
( ) spray jet with the adjusting lever (Fig. 4, 1).
7.2 SETTING THE AMOUNT OF MATERIAL (FIG. 5)
The material volume can be adjusted incrementally from 1
(minimum) to 12 (maximum) by turning the material volume
control (Fig. 5, 1).
7.3 SETTING THE AMOUNT OF AIR (FIG. 6)
Turn the air volume control (Fig, 6, 1) clockwise to increase the
air volume or anti-clockwise to reduce the air volume (note
arrow on body of gun).
The correct setting of air and material volume is
crucial for atomisation and paint mist formation.
7.4

ALIGN THE FEED TUBE

If the feed tube is positioned correctly, the container
contents can be sprayed without almost any residue.
When working on lying objects:
Turn the feed tube forwards. (Fig. 7 A)
Spraying work when working on overhead objects:
Turn the feed tube rearwards. (Fig. 7 B)

STARTING OPERATION

Before connecting to the mains supply make sure that the
mains voltage corresponds to the operating voltage on the
rating plate. The unit must be connected with a properly
earthed shockproof socket.
1. Squeeze the side clips together and insert the air hose onto
the basic unit. (Fig. 8)
2. Unscrew the container from the spray attachment.
3. Pour in the prepared coating material.
Fill the container
with maximum
1000 ml.
4. Fit the appropriate filter to the feed tube depending on the
coating material used (Fig. 9, 1)
Low-viscosity coating materials  Fine filter (red)
Viscous coating materials
5. Screw the container firmly onto the spray attachment.
6. Connect spray attachment and gun handle. (Fig. 2)
7. Plug in the power cable.
8. Switch on the main switch at the device.
The device is now ready for operation.

SPRAYING TECHNIQUE
The FinishControl has a trigger with 2 pressure
points. In the first stage the turbine is started. If
the trigger is pressed further, the material is trans-
ported.
Operate trigger on the spray gun.
Test spray a piece of cardboard to ensure correct setting of the
spray pattern, spray jet width, material and air volume.
Hold the paint spray gun upright and maintain a constant
distance of about 3 - 20 cm to the object being sprayed. (Fig.
10)
Move the paint spray gun evenly either from side to side or up
and down. If the gun is moved evenly, it will produce an even
surface finish.
Always start spraying away from the object and avoid stop-ping
spraying whilst still on the object.
In case of excessive paint mist formation, adjust the air and
material flow respectively and alter the distance from the
object.
