NEVER trigger the gun unlessthe tip is completely turned to either the sprayor the unclog position. ALWAyS engage thegun trigger lock before removing, replacing orcleaning tip.The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the entiresurface. Keep your arm moving at a constant speed and keepthe spray gun at a constant distance from the surface. The bestspraying distance is 25 to 30 cm between the spray tip and thesurface.25 - 30 cmKeep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This meansmoving your entire arm back and forth rather than just flexingyour wrist.Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise oneend of the pattern will be thicker than the other.Trigger gun after starting the stroke. Release the trigger beforeending the stroke. The spray gun should be moving when thetrigger is pulled and released. Overlap each stroke by about30%. This will ensure an even coating.25 - 30 cm25 - 30 cmi If very sharp edges result or if there are streaksin the spray jet – increase the operating pressureor dilute the coating material.6. Handling the high-pressure hoseAvoid sharp bending or kinking of the high-pressure hose. Thesmallest bending radius amounts to about 20 cm.Do not drive over the high-pressure hose. Protect against sharpobjects and edges.Danger of injury through leaking high-pressurehose. Replace any damaged high-pressure hoseimmediately.Never repair defective high-pressure hosesyourself!6.1 High-pressure hoseThe unit is equipped with a high-pressure hose specially suitedfor piston pumps.i Only use WAGNER original-high-pressure hosesin order to ensure functionality, safety anddurability.7. Interruption of work1. Open the relief valve, valve position PRIME(k circulation).2. Switch the unit OFF.3. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise tominimum pressure.4. Pull the trigger of the spray gun in order to release thepressure from the high-pressure hose and spray gun.5. Secure the spray gun, refer to the operating manual of thespray gun.6. If a standard tip is to be cleaned, see Page 19, Section12.2.If a non-standard tip is installed, proceed according to therelevant operating manual.7. Depending on the model, leave the suction tube or thesuction hose and return hose immersed in the coatingmaterial or swivel or immerse it into a correspondingcleaning agent.AttentionIf fast-drying or two-component coating materialis used, ensure that the unit is rinsed with asuitable cleaning agent within the processingtime.
