Carefully mask off plug sockets and switches. Un-
u
covered plug sockets and switches may cause a short-cir-
cuit and increase the risk of electric shock.
Preparing the spray material
When diluting, make sure that the spray material and
u
the diluting agent are compatible. When using a faulty
diluting agent, lumps can develop that can lead to clog-
ging of the spray gun.
When diluting the spray material, make sure that the
u
flash point of the mixture is above 55 °C again after di-
luting. Diluting substances such as solvent-based lac-
quers lowers the flash point.
Note the specifications of the paint manufacturer re-
u
lating to sprayability, e.g. in the technical information
sheet or data sheet. Make sure that you do not spray
any paints that are not suitable according to the man-
ufacturer's specifications.
– Stir the spray material thoroughly.
Using spray material at room temperature will yield a bet-
ter spray pattern.
– Dilute the spray material if necessary.
If the spray test does not produce a good spray pattern,
dilute in 5 % increments until an optimal spray pattern is
achieved.

pull the bayonet lock (21) out of the port (9)).
– When using large buckets, pour the spray material into a
smaller transfer bucket (14) if necessary (e.g. 10 l wall
paint into an empty 2.5 or 5.0 l bucket).

Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool.
Make sure that the base unit cannot draw in dust or
other contamination during operation.
Make sure never to spray on the base unit.
Stop spraying if fluid escapes from places other than
the intended nozzle during spraying, and restore the
spray gun to its proper condition. There is a risk of elec-
tric shock.
Do not direct the fine-spray system against yourself,
other persons or animals.
