16. 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
(approx. one stirring rod in length).

•
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.
"Cross spray" when using paint with a poor covering capacity or if the
i
surface is highly absorbent (Fig. 13).
•
Interior wall paint in strong colour shades should be applied at least twice (allow first
paint coat to dry first). This will ensure good coverage.

working without interruption.
17. Interruption of Work
•
Turn the machine off.
•
Put the machine down only on a level, clean surface. Otherwise the machine could tip
over!
•
During longer breaks, vent the container by briefly opening and then closing it again.
•
Clean nozzle openings after an interruption in operation.

INCORRECT An uneven distance will result in uneven paint
application.
