The declared values for vibration and noise, which have been measured according to a standardised test method, can be used to compare dierent tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The measurement values have been determined in accordance with EN14462. WARNING! The actual vibration and noise level when using tools may dier from the specied maximum value, depending on how the tool is used and the material. It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account allEN

WARNING! Do not use the product if parts are missing or damaged – risk of bursting that can cause serious personal injury and/or material damage.

1. Connect the high-pressure hose (12) to

the uid outlet (3) and rmly tighten with a spanner. Connect the other end of the high-pressure hose (12) to the spray gun (13) and rmly tighten with two spanners. Check that the trigger lock is applied.

2. Check that the nozzle is correctly inserted

in the nozzle guard and that the nozzle guard is rmly mounted on the spray gun. See section "Fitting the nozzle".

3. Release the pressure. See section

1. If the spray gun is not connected to the

product, go to step 2. If the spray gun is connected to the product, release the pressure.

2. Apply the trigger lock.

3. Fit the nozzle guard parts (2) in the order

shown in the gure. – Fit the rubber gasket (5) and metal seal (4) in the nozzle guard (2) by using the nozzle (1). – The nozzle (1) should be inserted all the way in the nozzle guard (2). Turn the nozzle (1) and press down at the same time. – Turn the arrow shaped handle on the nozzle (1) forward to the spraying position.

4. Fit the nozzle (1) with the nozzle guard

(2) on the spray gun and tighten the lock nut (3). FIG. 6 Pressure relief valve The product is supplied with pressure when the pressure relief valve lever is horizontal. Pressure is relieved in vertical position and air can be released. The pressure relief valve is mainly used to bleed the system before starting the product. It also protects from overowing if there is overpressure in the product. FIG. 4 Manual valve If the product has not been used for some time the ball in the inlet valve can fasten to the valve seat, which will prevent feeding of the paint. Press the manual valve lever repeatedly to release the inlet valve ball so that the inlet valve can work as usual. FIG. 5 Pressure control valve The pressure control valve has a sensor that detects the pressure in the pump housing and sends a signal to the control card, which regulates the pressure. Outlet and inlet valves The outlet and inlet valves are controlled together to keep the paint under pressure and to supply the high pressure for spraying. ASSEMBLY UNPACKING Unpack the product and check that all the parts are included and undamaged. Check before use that all screw unions and other joints are properly tightened.EN

PREPARATION OF MATERIAL

The material to be sprayed must be mixed, diluted (if applicable) and ltered before use. If diluting is necessary use a solvent with a ash point higher than 21°C (ammable liquid class 2a or higher) that is compatible with actual material. Read all the safety instructions, other instructions and safety information sheets and labels on the containers for paints and solvents. Follow the instructions from the manufacturer of the paint and solvent. PRESSURE RELIEF

3. Put the end of the outlet hose (11) in a

suitable container and turn the pressure relief valve lever (6) to its vertical position to relieve the pressure.

4. Press the spray gun rmly against an

earthed metal container and point it down into the container. Release the trigger lock and press the trigger to relieve the pressure in the product.

5. Apply the trigger lock.

• The system is not relieved of pressure when the pump motor is switched o.

• Leave the pressure relief valve lever (6) in its vertical position until spraying starts. USE

FLUSHING OF PRESERVATIVE FLUID

NOTE: The product must be ushed/tested before use. The product is tested at the factory with a uid that must ushed out of the system before it is used for the rst time. The preservative lubricant must then be ushed out from the system before use.

1. Check that the power switch (1) is

2. Put the end of the outlet hose (11) in a

suitable container and put the end of the suction hose (10) in an earthed metal container, partly lled with cleaning uid, to ush the uid from the factory out of the product. Flush out water-based paint with water and oil-based paint and preservative with white spirit or the equivalent.EN

13. Sink the suction hose and outlet hose down

under the surface in the material container.

14. Turn the nozzle to the spraying position

and check that the nozzle guard is rmly in place. The product is now ready to use. NOTE: Fill material in the container when the level drops. The product can be damaged if the level is too low. SPRAYING Testing the spray pattern Practice the spraying technique on a spare piece of paper or small area before spraying.

1. Turn the pressure control knob (8) to the

2. Release the trigger lock, point the spray

gun at the test area or piece of paper, and press the trigger.

3. Turn the pressure control knob (8) slowly

clockwise to gradually increase the pressure until the spray pattern becomes uniform and of good quality. Instructions for spraying

• Hold the spray gun 30 cm from the surface and pointing straight at the surface. Move your wrist so that the spray gun is kept pointing straight at the surface during the work. FIG. 7

• The surface layer of material will be uneven if the spray gun is held at an angle to the surface or moved in an arc. FIG. 8

• Move the spray gun smoothly. To avoid thicker patches, start moving the spray gun before pressing the trigger and release the trigger before stopping. The spray gun should be in motion when the trigger is pressed or released. FILTERING Disposable lter bags can be bought in paint shops and used to remove coarse particles and impurities from new or used material. Filter the material before spraying to avoid lling problems and blocking the nozzle. Put a disposable lter bag over a clean container and let the material run through the lter.

PREPARATIONS FOR SPRAYING

and point it down into the container.

8. Put the pressure relief valve lever (6) in its

horizontal position.

9. Put the switch (1) in the on position.

10. Hold the spray gun pointing down in the

container with the trigger pressed until material comes out.

12. Move the outlet hose (11) to the material

container and fasten it to the suction hose (10).EN

3. Apply the trigger lock, turn back the

nozzle to the spraying position, release the trigger lock and continue spraying.

Follow the instructions below if no material comes out through the spray gun, or if you are not certain that the pressure was fully relieved when the process for relieving the pressure was carried out.

1. Release the high-pressure hose very slowly

2. Put the pressure relief valve lever (6) in its

horizontal position.

3. Hold the hose in a rm grip and point the

end down into the material container. Put the switch (1) in the on position.

4. If no material ows out through the hose,

connect the hose again and continue with step 6.

5. If material ows out through the hose,

follow the instructions for cleaning the spray gun and lter.

6. Connect the hose to the spray gun and

follow the instructions for preparations before spraying. MAINTENANCE Follow the maintenance instructions for best functionality and useful life.

• Check and clean the inlet lter and spray gun lter before use.

• Replace the lters if they are damaged or if they cannot be cleaned.

8. Press the trigger after starting the stroke

FIG. 9 Spray pattern and quality The material is spread smoothly over the surface when the spray pattern is correct.

• The material should be nely dispersed and uniformly applied, without gaps at the edges.

• Adjust the pressure control knob (8) until the spray pattern is uniform, without gaps or thicker layers at the edges.

• If it is not possible to correct the spray pattern, check whether the nozzle is worn. The material may need to be diluted. Follow the instructions of the material manufacturer for dilution.

If the nozzle gets blocked during the spraying, turn the nozzle to quickly and easily clear away the particles without dismantling the product.
