W 550 - Electric paint sprayer WAGNER - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL W 550 WAGNER

Read the operating instructions carefully before using the tool and observe the safety instructions.

Keep the operating instructions in a safe place.

General Safety Instructions

Caution! Read all the instructions. Non-observance of the instructions below can cause electric shock, fire and or serious personal injuries. The term "power tool" used below covers both mains-operated power tools (with mains lead) and accumulator-operated power tools (without mains lead).

KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS IN A SAFE PLACE:

1. Workplace

a) Keep your workplace clean and tidy. Untidiness and unlit working areas can lead to accidents.
b) Never use the tool in hazardous areas that contain flammable liquids, gases or dusts. Power tools generate sparks that can ignite the dust or vapors.
c) Keep children and other persons away when using the power tool. You can lose control of the tool if you are distracted.

2. Electrical Safety

a) The tool plug must fit into the socket. The plug may not be modified in any form. Do not use adaptor plugs together with protective-earthed tools. Unmodified plugs and suitable sockets reduce the risk of an electric shock.
b) Avoid physical contact with earthed surfaces such as pipes, heating elements, stoves and refrigerators. The risk through electric shock increases if your body is earthed.
c) Keep the equipment away from rain and moisture. The risk of an electric shock increases if water penetrates electrical equipment.
d) Do not misuse the mains lead by carrying the tool by the lead, hanging it from the lead or by pulling on the lead to remove the plug. Keep the lead away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving tool parts. Damaged or twisted leads increase the risk of an electric shock.

e) If you work outdoors, use only extension leads that are approved for outdoor use. The use of an extension lead that is suitable for outdoors reduces the risk of an electric shock.

3. Safety of Persons

a) Be attentive. Pay attention to what you are doing and work sensibly with a power tool. Do not use the tool if you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. Just a moment of inattentiveness while using the tool can lead to serious injuries.
b) Wear personal safety equipment and always wear safety goggles Wearing personal protective equipment, such as dust mask, non-slip safety shoes, safety helm or ear protection, depending on the type of power tools, reduces the risk of injury.
c) Avoid accidental starting-up. Ensure that the switch is in the "OFF" position before inserting the plug into the socket. Accidents can occur if you carry the power tool while your finger is on the switch or if you connect the power tool to the power supply which it is on.
d) Remove setting tools or wrenches before switching on the power tool. A tool or wrench that is in a rotating tool part can lead to injuries.
e) Do not overestimate your abilities. Ensure that you are standing securely and have your balance at all times. This ensures that you can control the tool better in unexpected situations.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear wide clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothes and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) If dust extraction or collection devices can be mounted, ensure that these are connected and are being used properly. Using these devices reduces the danger caused by dust.

4. Careful Handling and Use of Power Tools

a) Do not overload the tool. Use the power tool designed for the work that you are doing. You work better and safer in the specified performance range if you use the suitable power tool.
b) Do not use power tools whose switch is defective. A power tool that cannot be switched on or off is dangerous and has to be repaired.
c) Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out tool settings, changing accessories or putting the tool away. This precautionary measure prevents unintentional starting of the tool.
d) Store unused power tools so that they are inaccessible to children. Do not let persons use the tool who are not familiar with it or who have not read these instructions. Power tools are dangerous when they are used by inexperienced persons.
e) Take proper care of your tools. Check whether the moving parts function trouble-free and do not jam, whether parts are broken or damaged so that the tool function is impaired. Have damaged parts repaired before using the tool. Many accidents have their origin in power tools that have been maintained badly.
f) Keep the cutting tools sharp and clean. Cutting tools maintained with care and with sharp cutting edges jam less often and are easier to use.
g) Use the power tool, accessories, insert tools, etc. in accordance with these instructions and in a fashion specified for this special tool type. Take the working conditions and the activity to be carried out into consideration. The use of power tools for purposes other than the intended ones can lead to dangerous situations.

5. Service

a) Have your tool repaired only by qualified specialist personnel and only with original spare parts. This ensures that the tool safety is maintained.

Safety Instructions

• You may only spray coating materials such as paints, varnishes, glazes, etc. with a flashpoint of 21^ ( 32^ in UK) and higher without additional warning.
  (German classification of coating material is hazard classes A II and A III, see material tin.)
• The device may not be used in workplaces covered by the explosion-protection regulations.
• There must be no sources of ignition such as, for example, open fires, smoke of lit cigarettes, cigars and tobacco pipes, sparks, glowing wires, hot surfaces, etc. in the vicinity during spraying.
• Do not spray any substances whose hazard potential is not known.
• Before working on the spray gun remove the power plug from the socket.
• Do not use the spray guns to spray flammable substances.
• The spray guns may not be used with flammable solvents.
• Caution against dangers that can arise from the sprayed substance and observe the text and information on the containers or the specifications given by the substance manufacturer.

Recommendation: Wear a breathing mask and safety glasses when spraying.

CAUTION - DANGER OF INJURY!

Never point the spray gun at yourself, at other people or at animals.

• When working with the W 550 indoors as well as outdoors ensure that no solvent vapors are sucked in by the spray gun.
• When working outdoors, be aware of the wind direction. Wind can carry the coating substance across greater distances - thus causing damage. When working indoors, provide for adequate ventilation.
• Do not let children handle the device.
• Never open the device yourself in order to carry out repairs in the electrical system!

With original WAGNER accessories and spare parts, you have the guarantee that all safety regulations are fulfilled.

Coating Materials Suitable for Use

Water- and solvent-based paints, finishes, primers, 2-component paints, clear finishes, automotive finishes, staining sealers and wood sealer-preservatives.

Coating Materials Not Suitable for Use

Wall paints (emulsion paints) etc., alkali and acidic paints.

Preparing the Coating Material

The paints usually need to be diluted for use with the spray gun. Since information on sprayable dilutions is seldom given on the material tin, you can use the guidelines in the viscosity table on the following page (viscosity = consistency of the coating material).

Measuring the Viscosity

1. Stir the coating material thoroughly before measuring.
2. Dip the viscosity test cup (Fig. 2.) completely into the coating material.
3. Hold the test cup up and measure the time in seconds until the liquid empties out.

This time is called "Runout Time in Seconds".

Viscosity Table
Spray Material	Runout Time in Seconds
Thinner-soluble primers	25 - 30
Thinner-soluble varnishes	15 - 30
Water-soluble primers	25 - 30
Water-soluble varnishes	20 - 25
Wood preservatives, strippers, oils	undiluted
Disinfectants, plant protectants	undiluted
Automobile spray paint	20 - 25

Start-up

Before connecting to the mains supply, be sure that the supply voltage is identical with the value given on the rating plate.

• Unscrew the container from the spray gun.
• Aligning suction tube (Fig. 3)

The container contents are to be sprayed out almost completely.

When spraying horizontal surfaces, turn suction tube forward (A).

When spraying objects overhead, turn suction tube back (B).

• Set the container on a sheet of paper, pour in the prepared coating material and screw the container tightly onto the spray gun.
• Connect the front part with the rear part of the gun (Fig. 4).
• Put the machine down only on a level, clean surface. Otherwise the machine could tip over!
• Pull the trigger guard. The W 550 has a two-stage trigger guard. In the first stage the turbine is started. If the trigger guard is pressed further, the material is transported.
• Adjust the spray setting on the spray gun.

Three different spray jet settings can be chosen on the spray gun, depending on the application and target object.

Selecting the Spray Setting

Fig. 5 A = horizontal flat jet

Fig. 5 B = vertical flat jet

Fig. 5 C = circular jet

for horizontal surfaces
for vertical surfaces
for corners, edges and hard-to-reach surfaces

Adjusting the desired Spray Setting (Fig. 6)

With the union nut (2) slightly tightened, turn the air cap (1) to the desired spray-setting position (arrow). Then tighten the union nut.

WARNING! Danger of injury! Never pull the trigger guard while adjusting the air cap.

Adjusting the Material Volume (Fig. 7)

Set the material volume by turning the regulator on the trigger guard of the spray gun.

• turn to the left lower material volume
• turn to the right higher material volume

Spray Technique

• The spray result depends heavily on the smoothness and cleanliness of the surface to be sprayed. Therefore the surface should be carefully prepared and kept free of dust.
  Cover all surfaces not to be sprayed.
• Cover screw threads or similar parts of the target object.
• It is advisable to test the spray gun on cardboard or a similar surface to find the correct setting.

Important: Begin spraying outside of the target area and avoid interruptions inside the target area.

• Correct (Fig. 8 A) Be sure to hold the spray gun at an even distance of approx. 5 - 15cm to the target object.
  Incorrect (Fig. 8 B) Heavy spray fog build-up, uneven surface quality.
• Move the spray gun evenly cross-wise or up-and-down, depending on the spray pattern setting.
  An even movement of the spray gun results in an even surface quality.
• When coating material builds up on the nozzle (A) and air cap (B) (Fig. 9), clean both parts with a solvent or water.

Interruption of Work till 4 Hours

• Turn the machine off.
• When processing 2-component varnishes, clean the device immediately.

Taking Out of Operation and Cleaning

1. Unplug the power plug. Activate the trigger guard so that the coating material in the spray gun flows back into the container.
2. Divide the spray gun. Press the hook (Fig. 4b "click") slightly downwards. Turn the gun front part and gun rear part against each other.
3. Unscrew the container. Empty any remaining coating material back into the material tin.
4. Pre-clean the container and feed tube with a brush.
5. Pour solvent or water into the container. Screw the container back on. Use only solvents with a flashpoint over 21^ .
6. Assemble the gun again (Fig. 4).

7. Insert the power plug, turn on the machine and spray the solvent or water into a container or a cloth.

8. Repeat the above procedure until the solvent or water emerging from the nozzle is clear.

9. Turn off the machine and remove the plug.
10. Then empty the container completely. Always keep the container seal free of coating material residue and check for damage.
11. Clean the outside of the spray gun and container with a cloth soaked in solvent or water.
12. Unscrew the union nut and remove the air cap and nozzle. Clean the air cap and nozzle with a brush and solvent or water.

WARNING! Never hold the spray gun rear part under water or immerse it into liquids. Clean the housing only with a moistened cloth.

CAUTION! Never clean nozzle or air holes in the spray gun with sharp metal objects.

Maintenance

Change the air filter if it is soiled (Fig. 10). The smooth side of the air filter must be placed towards the machine.

WARNING! Never operate the machine without the air filter; dirt could be sucked in and interfere with the function of the machine.

Accessories

An additional container with a top makes changing colours easy. The top prevents the paint from drying out and the evaporation of solvents.
