Preparing the Spray Surface
Note: Cover off the vicinity of the spray surface thoroughly
and generously.
The spray mist contaminates the environment. When spray-
ing in enclosures, surfaces not covered can become contami-
nated.
The spray surface must be clean, dry and grease-free.
– Roughen smooth surfaces and then remove the sanding
dust.
Suitable spray materials and recommended diluting
agents
 When diluting, pay attention that the spray material
and the diluting agent correspond. When using a faulty
diluting agent, lumps can develop that can lead to clogging
of the spray gun.
Spray material
Wood stains, oils, glazes, impregna-
tions, anti-rust primers
Water, wallpaper remover
Solvent or water-dilutable paints,
primers, radiator paint, automotive top
coats, thick-coat finishes
The tool is not suitable for processing dispersion paint (wall
