Frequently Asked Questions - PG 18V Biltema
What types of paint can I use with the PG 18V?
The paint gun is suitable for water-based and solvent-based paints, as well as primers, varnishes, and stains. Always thin the paint to the recommended viscosity (max 50 DIN-s) for optimal results.
How do I clean the paint gun after use?
Disconnect the battery. Empty any remaining paint. Rinse the container and spray mechanism with water for water-based paints or mineral spirits for solvent-based paints. Use the included cleaning brush to unclog the nozzle. Allow to dry before storage.
What is the battery runtime?
Runtime depends on battery capacity and paint viscosity. With a standard 2.0 Ah battery, you can expect approximately 20–30 minutes of continuous spraying. For longer jobs, use a higher capacity battery.
Can I adjust the spray pattern?
Yes, the nozzle can be rotated to achieve horizontal, vertical, or circular spray patterns. The flow rate can also be adjusted via the knob on the trigger.
Is the paint gun compatible with other 18V batteries?
It is designed for Biltema's 18V battery system. Compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed and may affect performance or safety.
What safety precautions should I take?
Always wear safety goggles and a respirator mask when spraying. Work in a well-ventilated area. Keep the tool away from heat sources and flammable materials. Use the trigger lock when not in use.
How do I thin the paint correctly?
Use the included viscosity cup. Fill the cup with paint and time how long it takes to empty. The ideal time is 20–30 seconds for most paints. Adjust thinner accordingly.
Why is the spray sputtering?
Sputtering is usually caused by clogged nozzle, low battery voltage, or paint that is too thick. Clean the nozzle thoroughly and ensure paint viscosity is correct. Also check that the battery is fully charged.
Can I spray latex paint with this gun?
Yes, but latex paint must be thinned with water to a viscosity of about 30–40 DIN-s. Test on a scrap surface first.
Where can I find spare parts?
Spare parts such as nozzle kits, seals, and batteries are available at Biltema stores or through their online customer service. Refer to the user manual for part numbers.
