6.- Start up the pump. Adjust the pressure until the fluid comes out completely in the form of a
spray. Use the least pressure necessary. A higher pressure will cause excessive wear in the
material and premature wear of the tip and locking seat. If you need higher product flow, take a
tip with a larger tip. If it is not possible to spray the product correctly, use a smaller size tip until
the correct size is determined for the required coat thickness and optimum spraying conditions.
7.- Pull the trigger in such a way that it is completely open or completely closed. Keep the gun at a
distance of 200-300 milimetres from the working surface. Move the gun perpendicularly to the
surface at the appropiate speed, overlapping paint strokes.
ADJUSTING THE SPRAY JET
In order to adjust the spray jet correctly, do the
following:
1.- Follow the decompression procedure described on
section 8.2.
2.- Loosen the tip support nut (figure 3). Turn the tip
guard and place the groove in the horizontal position
in order to obtain a vertical fan.

8.2. Decompression procedure
With the aim of reducing the risk of severe bodily injury, including the injection of products or
injuries caused by moving parts of the equipment or electric shock, the procedure described
below must be followed as soon as the system is halted, during assembly, cleaning or changing
the tip and also when spraying is interrupted.
1.- Set the gun safety catch (No.1, fig.2).
2.- Turn the pressure regulator (electrical machines) for the equipment to the minimum setting
(anticlockwise). In pneumatic units, close the air stop cock to the pump and then operate the air
inlet pressure regulator to the pump until it is set to minimum (turn anticlockwise).
3.- Remove the spray gun safety catch. Holding a metallic part of the spray gun (trigger guard) to
the side of a correctly-grounded bucket, press the trigger to drain the product (aim the jet toward
the side of the bucket).
4.- Set the gun safety catch.
5.- Set the motor switch to the position "O" (off).
6.- Disconnect the power supply cable (electric models).
7.- Open the drain valve after placing a container nearby in which to collect the product. Leave the
valve open until required for spraying.
If you have reason to believe the tip or the hose is completely clogged, or that the pressure has not
been totally eliminated after having followed the procedure described above, loosen the hose
connector VERY GENTLY in order to reduce the pressure gradually, and finally remove it altogether.
Clean the tip or the hose immediately.
