2. CONTROL OF THE AMOUNT OF THE MATERIAL
2.1 AIR PLUS SPRAY SCHULZ
Define the amount of the material, turning the regulator of the air intake of the gun (figure 9.6 and 9.7):
+ turning to the right
greater volume of material
- turning to the left
smaller volume of material

3. SPRAYING TECHNIQUES
The result of the work depends directly on the finishing and cleaning degree of the surface to be painted. Prepare
the region carefully leaving it free of dust or dirt;
Protect the surfaces that will not be painted;
Perform uniform motion, by doing it you will get better quality finishing;
Clean with solvent or with water the finishing material waste that eventually accumulates in the spraying nozzle
or the paint regulator;
The spraying motion must start from the arm and not form the hand joint. With this, you will guarantee the dis-
tance between the equipment and the working area, keeping it constant. Depending on the width of the spraying
jet, keep a distance from 5 to 15 cm;
The Figure 9.8A – CORRECT – shows the correct distance with a quality and homogeneous finishing.
The Figure 9.8B – WRONG – shows an uneven distance, a surface with a lower and not homogeneous finishing.
