Immerse the suction tube (Fig. 6, Item 1) and return hose (2)into a container with a suitable cleaning agent.2. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise (3) tominimum pressure.3. Open the relief valve (4), valve position PRIME(k circulation).4. Switch the unit (5) ON.5. Wait until the cleaning agent exudes from the return hose.6. Close the relief valve, valve position SPRAY (p spray).7. Pull the trigger of the spray gun.8. Spray the cleaning agent from the unit into an open collectingcontainer.132454.6. Taking the unit into operation with coatingmaterial1. Immerse the suction tube (Fig. 6, Item 1) and return hose (2)into the coating material container.2. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise (3) tominimum pressure.3. Open the relief valve (4), valve position PRIME(k circulation).4. Switch the unit (5) ON.5. Wait until the coating material exudes from the return hose.6. Close the relief valve, valve position SPRAY (p spray).7. Trigger the spray gun several times and spray into a collectingcontainer until the coating material exits the spray gunwithout interruption.8. Increase the pressure by slowly turning up the pressurecontrol knob.Check the spray pattern and increase the pressure until theatomization is correct.Always turn the pressure control knob to the lowest settingwith good atomization.9. The unit is ready to spray.5. Spraying techniqueInjection hazard. Do not spray without the tip guardin place. NEVER trigger the gun unless the tip iscompletely turned to either the spray or the unclogposition. ALWAyS engage the gun trigger lockbefore removing, replacing or cleaning tip.The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the entire surface.Keep your arm moving at a constant speed and keep the spray gun ata constant distance from the surface. The best spraying distance is 25to 30 cm between the spray tip and the surface.25 - 30 cmKeep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This means movingyour entire arm back and forth rather than just flexing your wrist.Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise one endof the pattern will be thicker than the other.Trigger gun after starting the stroke. Release the trigger beforeending the stroke. The spray gun should be moving when the triggeris pulled and released. Overlap each stroke by about 30%. This willensure an even coating.25 - 30 cm25 - 30 cmi If very sharp edges result or if there are streaks in thespray jet – increase the operating pressure or dilutethe coating material.
