Connecting the Air Hose (see figures A1–A3)
– Open the elastic band (27) and completely unwind the air
hose (18).
Connecting the base unit:
– Insert a bayonet lock (19) of the air hose securely into the
holes in the base unit port (28) according to the arrow
marks.
– Turn the bayonet lock a quarter turn clockwise.
Connecting to the spray gun:
– Insert the second bayonet lock (19) of the air hose se-
curely into the holes in the spray gun port (8) according
to the arrow marks.
– Turn the bayonet lock a quarter turn clockwise.

Note: Check the spray material by stirring it before selecting
the nozzle cap. Thin-viscosity material (e.g. wood paint) can
be sprayed better with the grey nozzle cap (10). Thick-vis-
cosity material (e.g. wood lacquer or wall paint) can be
sprayed better with the white nozzle cap (9).
– To change the nozzle cap, unscrew the cap nut (3).
– Pull off the air cap (2).
– Unscrew the mounted nozzle cap.
– Open the air filter cover (25) and take the required nozzle
cap out of the accessory compartment (29).
– Screw the required nozzle cap into the thread in the spray
gun.
– Put the air cap (2) on the nozzle cap and tighten it with
the cap nut (3).

When diluting, make sure that the spray material and
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
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.
