Frequently Asked Questions - 011485 Meec Tools

How to purge the preservation fluid before first use?

Place the outlet hose in a container and the suction hose in a cleaning liquid (water for water-based paint, white spirit for oil). Set the switch to start position, let it run for 45 to 60 seconds, then turn the pressure relief lever to horizontal. Wait for the pump to stop and check for leaks.

How to adjust the spray pressure?

Turn the pressure adjustment knob (8) clockwise to increase pressure, counterclockwise to decrease. Always start at the lowest setting and gradually increase until a uniform spray pattern is achieved.

What to do if the motor does not start?

Check that the plug is properly connected to a functional 230 V outlet, that the switch is in start position, and that the set pressure is not too low. If the problem persists, depressurize the unit before checking carbon brushes or contact an authorized repairer.

How to clean a clogged nozzle?

Engage the trigger lock, turn the nozzle to cleaning position, then unlock the trigger and press for 2 seconds with the gun pointed into a collection container. Return to spray position and continue. If insufficient, remove the nozzle for manual cleaning.

What is the minimum pressure for spraying varnish?

According to the table, oil-based varnish requires at least 55 bars, while standard varnish requires at least 103 bars. Refer to the pressure table in the manual for each material.

How to safely depressurize the device?

Engage the trigger lock, set the switch to OFF, turn the pressure knob to minimum. Place the outlet hose in a container, then turn the pressure relief lever (6) to vertical. Pull the trigger to release residual pressure.

When should the nozzle be replaced?

The nozzle should be replaced after spraying 57 to 277 litres of product, depending on material abrasiveness. Also replace if the spray pattern becomes irregular or cannot be corrected by pressure adjustment.

Can flammable paints be sprayed?

No. Do not use paints or chemicals with a flash point below 55°C (21°C for thinning solvents). Only use materials compatible with a flash point above 21°C (class 2a or higher).

How to store the device after use?

Perform a complete system cleaning, then depressurize. Never store the device under pressure or with water inside. Store it indoors, away from frost and moisture.

What are common wear parts?

The main wear parts are the nozzle (to be replaced regularly), filters (inlet and gun), seals (metal and rubber of the nozzle), and carbon brushes of the motor. Replace any damaged part immediately.
