Working Advice

Note: Pay attention to the wind direction when you are using the power tool outdoors.

  • Firstly, carry out a spray test 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 with a uniform clearance of 15–20 cm vertical to the object being sprayed.
  • Begin the spraying procedure outside the target area.
  • Move the spray gun evenly horizontally or vertically according to the spray pattern configuration.
    An even surface quality can be achieved when the spray paths overlap by 4–5 cm.
  • When spraying horizontal objects or spraying overhead, hold the spray gun at a slight angle and move back from the sprayed surface.
    Risk of tripping! Be aware of potential obstacles.
  • Avoid interruptions when spraying the target area.

Guiding the spray gun evenly will provide uniform surface quality.

A non-uniform spraying angle and distance will lead to heavy formation of paint mist and consequently an uneven surface.

  • End the spraying procedure outside the target area.

Never completely empty the container for the spray material by spraying. If the suction tube is no longer immersed in the spray material, the spray jet will be interrupted and this will result in an inconsistent surface.

  • After breaks or refilling the container (7), check the nozzle cap (9) and the air cap (2) and clean them if required.
  • If the spray material settles on the air cap (2) or the nozzle cap, clean the components with a suitable brush or a damp cloth.

  • Never actuate the trigger switch (6) while adjusting the air cap (2).
  • Turn the air cap (2) to the required position.

  • Turn the thumbwheel (5) to set the required spraying capacity:
    −: Minimum quantity of spraying material,
    +: Maximum quantity of spraying material.
  • Start with a spray test with the minimum spray material volume and increase the volume until the required spray pattern is achieved. If a satisfactory spray pattern is not achieved, dilute the spray material in 5 % increments Preparing the spray material.

Please note: The intensity of the paint application is highly dependent on the moving speed.

Spray material volume

Setting

Too much material on target area

The spray material volume must be reduced.

  • Turn the thumbwheel  (5) in direction –.

Not enough material on target area

The spray material volume must be increased.

  • Turn the thumbwheel  (5) in direction +.

To make it easier to remove old wallpaper, you can spray warm water on the wallpaper (max. 55 °C). Use the grey nozzle cap (9) to do so.

In normal conditions of use, the power tool cannot be overloaded. If the power tool is overloaded or the permitted battery temperature is exceeded, the electronics of the power tool will switch off until the temperature returns to within the optimum operating temperature range.
