It’s not the first year that air spraying technologies have been mastered by companies focusing on the household segment. If earlier such equipment was considered difficult for home use, today tool manufacturers are actively acquainting their fans with this kind of products. A special place in this segment is occupied by the Wagner company. The airbrush of this company is presented in various modifications, but devices with an electric drive are of particular interest to the consumer.
Assembly Instructions
The gun consists of a whole group of components that can be disassembled. The main elements include a flare nut, a pneumatic cylinder, a feed volume regulator, a suction pipe, a membrane, etc. First of all, the Wagner spray gun is equipped with a one-piece membrane so that its cotter pin is facing up. Next, the valve cover is installed, after which it must be tightened securely. The ventilation hose is attached to the cover itself and is also tightly fixed.
After this, it is necessary to advance the gland so that its slot protrudes into the nozzle, forward. Then, the nozzle is put on the body of the device by twisting. Using a union nut, it is necessary to install the pneumatic cylinder cover on the nozzle of the Wagner pistol. The spray gun is also equipped with an oil seal of the container with the working material, to which the suction tube is supplied.
Gun trigger
Before starting the device, make sure that it is connected to a network with sufficient voltage. Also, before switching on, it is necessary to disconnect the container and align the suction tube. In the container, placed on a flat surface, paint and varnish material is poured, after which the device is screwed to the gun. The mechanism is directly started provided that the device has a stable position. Pull on the fuse holder that is part of the Wagner starter system. The spray gun of this brand in some versions is provided with a two-stage bracket, so the launch is implemented in two stages. First, the turbine is activated, and then the material is ejected. The intensity of spraying with a spray gun depends on the pressing force, which can also be adjusted to the needs of a particular task.
Spray technique
The quality of the result after applying the paint with any spray gun depends on how clean and smooth the work surface was. Therefore, maximum efforts should be made to prepare the target site. It is important to take care of the area surrounding this area, if it is not to be processed. Such places must be covered with film material. Before starting work, you should test the device by performing several acts of spraying on a piece of cardboard, newspaper or the surface of other unnecessary material. In the process, it is important to maintain a distance. A distance of about 10-15 cm from the working surface is optimal for household pistols of the Wagner brand. The airbrush moves with slow and smooth movements, which will achieve uniformity of material placement. If during the work on the nozzle a paint and varnish influx began to form, it is necessary to take a break and clean this area.
End a work session
After painting, disconnect the gun from the mains and remove the container. If in the near future it is not expected to repeat the work, then the capacity must be purged. This is done by quickly opening and closing the lid or by releasing consumables to the original place of storage of the paint. Further, the Wagner spray gun itself is disassembled so that it can be cleaned of its individual components. The back and front of the device must be turned so that they are facing each other. Next, all contaminated areas are washed with a special mixture to remove paint.
Particular attention is paid to further processing of the container. A solvent with water will help to clean it. It should be filled with an active cleaning medium and used as a working material. This operation must be repeated until the spray gun gets rid of traces of paint in the spraying infrastructure. Evidence that the inside of the gun is clean is the release of clear water and solvent from the nozzles. Then the device again gets rid of the auxiliary functional parts and is left for storage in a dry room with room temperature.
Safety Precautions When Using the Machine
To prevent the risk of ignition of the consumables, the manufacturer recommends the use of varnishes, paints, enamels and polishes, at which the flash point is at least 21 ° C. It is also not recommended to use the spray gun in rooms where there is open flame, sparks, smoldering wires and other sources of ignition.
Work with the sprayer will be safe for the operator only when using personal protective equipment. In the basic set of the gun such accessories are not provided, so you should take care of this initially. Glasses, gloves and an apron - the minimum set of overalls recommended for workers who use Wagner spray guns. Reviews also recommend the use of respiratory devices, since spraying in a continuous mode fills the room with a mist hazardous to the respiratory system from fine particles of paint.
Conclusion
Wagner offers decent-in-class atomizers that are suitable for both home and professional use. In the domestic market, the devices of this company are relatively inexpensive. For example, the Wagner Wall Perfect model with a productivity of 230 ml / min. can be purchased for 6-7 thousand rubles. According to experts, this potential is enough to serve a 15 m long strip in 10 minutes. What is more important: almost all models of this manufacturer support the possibility of spraying heavy viscous mixtures.
