SAFETY REGULATIONS

Read the Operating Manual carefully and observe the safety
information before starting the device. The AirBoost 100 is an
accessory to the SuperFinish 23 PLUS. Therefore, please also
observe the safety information in this Operating Manual. Keep
the Operating Manual in a safe place close to the device:
All local safety regulations in force must be observed.

Never direct a jet of compressed air towards people or ani-

mals!
Do not use the unit in work places which are
covered by the explosion protection regula-
tions. The unit is not designed to be explosion
protected. Do not operate the device in ex-
plosive areas (zone 0, 1 and 2). Explosive ar-
eas are, for example, places where paints are
stored and locations in direct proximity to the
object being sprayed. Keep the device at least
3 m from the object you are spraying.
The AirBoost 100 can generate extremely
high temperatures as a result of the air com-
pression.
Do not touch the surface of the housing du-
ring operation and allow it cool down after it
has been used.
Do not close or block the air vents on the
device. Prevent the air vents from becoming
soiled (e.g. from overspray).
The permitted operating pressure of all air hoses, spray

guns and accessories connected to the AirBoost 100 must
be at least 0.4 MPa (4 bar).
Check the device and any connected hoses thoroughly for

damage before using.
Replace damaged air hoses immediately.

Never repair a faulty air hose yourself!

Avoid sharp bends and folds: the smallest bending radius

is about 20 cm.
Do not drive over an air hose and protect it from sharp

objects and edges.
Never pull on an air hose in order to move the device.

Never twist an air hose.

Do not put the air hose into solvents. Use only a wet cloth

to wipe down the outside of the hose.
When laying the air hose make sure it cannot be tripped

over.
Use only original Wagner hoses and accessories with the

device.
The unit may only be connected to the mains network via

a special feeding point with a residual-current device with
INF ≤ 30 mA.
Keep all safety stickers clean and legible.

Danger of short-circuits caused by water in-
gression!
Never spray down the unit with high-pressu-
re or high-pressure steam cleaners.
Disconnect the power cable before carrying out mainte-

nance and repair work.
Electrical repairs may only be carried out by a trained elec-

trician. No liability is assumed for incorrect installation.

DESCRIPTION OF UNIT

2.1

APPLICATION

The AirBoost 100 is an electric piston compressor without a
pressure tank. It was developed especially to operate an Air-
Coat gun with SuperFinish 23 PLUS.
The AirBoost 100 is only suitable for opera-
ting AirCoat guns with the green air cap.

THE ADVANTAGES OF THE AIRCOAT METHOD

Its additional atomizer air evens out any irregularities in the
spray pattern that can occur when the pressure setting is too
low in airless methods. The sharp contoured edges of airless
spraying are swirled away with the AirCoat spraying tech-
nique. The spray line is wider and softer. The disadvantage of
airless atomisation at a low pressure setting highlights the ad-
vantage here that the coating material particles move at a low
forward energy. This provides a low consumption of coating
material and less loss of coating material.
Thanks to the minimal use of atomizer air, the impact on the
environment is considerably smaller in comparison with air
spraying.
