1. Use the container
15
for viscosity testing to establish whether your paint has the
viscosity (“fluidity”) required (seeFig. C).
Completely fill the viscosity testing container with the spraying material you intend
to use.
2. Allow the spraying material to run out through the opening in the base of the container
and measure the time it takes for all of the spraying material to run out.
The time measurement is the viscosity of the spraying material in the unit DIN-sec.
3. If you are unsure about the material for your project, ask an appropriate authority
such as a specialist paint shop.
Adding material
1. If necessary, remove the spray unit
9
/
11
from the motor unit
2
as described
in the section “Fitting/changing the spray unit”.
2. Open the paint container
8
by unscrewing the lid
10
anticlockwise (see Fig. A).
3. Pour the prepared material into the paint container. Use an appropriate funnel to
avoid spilling the material if necessary.
4. Screw the lid clockwise onto the paint container to close the paint container.
Ensure that the lid is not screwed on at an angle and that the paint container is
completely sealed.
