Tip! With low-viscocity use the smaller nozzle and
with high-viscocity use the bigger nozzle.
Warning! Always use wall paint that is
smooth and without any granules or lumps.
Otherwise the nozzle will become clogged.
PAINT PREPARATION
Check/test the viscosity of the to be sprayed material.
• Put the stirring rod (12) in the container(11)
which includes the to be sprayed material and
pull it out and see how the material drips. When
it looks like liquid chocolate, this material is
ok for testing at step 4 (Test and adjusted the
spray jet effect, spray volume and spray flow).
When the spraying material is very thick and
gel-like, dilute it by 5 or 10%.
For small batches this can easily done by using the
special stirring rod:
1. Put the stirring rod (12) in the container like
shown in figure E1 and add spray material up to
one of the lines. Like shown in figure E2.
2. For 10%: Add the suitable thinning solvent up to
the next line.
For 5%: Add the suitable thinning solvent up to
half of the next line.
3. Stir the thinning solvent through the spray
material until it is completely mixed.
Check viscosity again, when it looks like liquid
chocolate, this material is ok for testing at step
4 (Test and adjusted the spray jet effect, spray
volume and spray flow). Still to thick? Repeat the
process by adding an additional 5 or 10% thinning
solvent.
Tip! Most wall paints are thick and may need up to
40% dilution.
Step 2: Preparing the spray surface
• Cover the area around the to be sprayed area
thoroughly and over a wide area. Any surface
that is not covered properly can unintentionally
be sprayed.
Warning! Be aware of your surroundings
when spraying outside, wind can cause
unintentional spraying of your not covered
surroundings

• The spray surface needs to be clean, dry, and
free from grease or dust.
• Polished surfaces should be lightly sanded, and
the sanding dust removed.
Step 3: Filling the paint container
• Remove the container (11) from the Spray unit.
• Fill the container with to be sprayed material to a
maximum of 800ml.
• Adjust the riser pipe (23) according to the
position you are going to use the spray gun in.
Spraying angle up like show in Fig. F. spraying
angle down like show in Fig. G
• Make sure the gasket and riser pipe (23) are
properly installed in the container cap (10). Tight-
en the container (11) onto the container cap (10).
Step 4: Test and adjust the spray jet effect, spray
volume and spray flow. (Fig. A + B)
Note: Before starting to spray the work surface, it
is advisable to make an initial test by spraying a
small area on scrap material.
Tip! With low-viscocity use the smaller nozzle and
with high-viscocity use the bigger nozzle.
1. Choose the jet effect: Horizontally • or vertical-
•
ly
. By turning the nozzle adjusting ring (16)
left or right.
2. Adjust the spray volume with Spray volume adjust-
ing wheel (9) by turning it to the left - to reduce
the volume, to the right + to increase. Note: Low
volume is advised for smaller object or surfaces.
High volume is advised or bigger surfaces.
Tip: We recommend starting at the minimum setting.
3. Adjust the spray flow by using the spray flow
adjustment knob(2): turn the knob to the left
to reduce the flow, to the right to increase the
flow. Note: The thinner the paint the lower the
flow should be, when using thicker paint make
sure to use a higher flow.
Tip: Several light layers rather than one thick layer
will help prevent the paint running.
4. Aim the spray gun to the to be sprayed surface
and pull the trigger (1). Hold the front of the spray
gun around 20-30 cm away from the to be sprayed
