12. Adjusting the Material Volume (Fig. 6)

Set the material volume by turning the regulator on the rear part of the spray gun. A scale
on the regulator serves as a guide.

13. Spray Technique

Please ensure that the processing instructions of the manufacturer of the
i
material are observed.
•
The spray result depends heavily on the smoothness and cleanliness of the surface to
be sprayed. Therefore the surface should be carefully prepared and kept free of dust.
•
Cover all surfaces not to be sprayed.
•
It is advisable to test the spray gun on cardboard or a similar surface to find the
correct setting.
Important: Begin spraying outside of the target area and avoid interruptions inside
the target area.
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 - 25 cm, depending on the desired
spray jet width.
Fig. 7 a: CORRECT Even distance to the object.
Fig. 7 b: INCORRECT Uneven distance causes uneven coating.
•
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.
•
With many materials, it is necessary to apply them in several layers in order to produce
an optimal result (observer the specifications provided by the manufacturer of the
material). Allow the layer to dry before continuing.
