Keywords

💡Airless spraying

Airless spraying is a painting technique that uses high pressure to atomize paint without the need for compressed air. It works by forcing paint through a small tip at a very high pressure, creating a fine spray pattern. This method is highlighted in the video as being suitable for large projects and for achieving a professional finish quickly. The script explains how airless sprayers 'pressurize the paint sending it up the hose and forces it through a small hole to create a spray pattern.'

💡Hopper

A hopper is a container used to hold and feed paint or other materials into the sprayer unit. The 150m model mentioned in the video has a 'gravity fed hopper' which means the paint is drawn into the pump from the hopper due to gravity. The video states that this 5.5 liter hopper is 'easy for refilling and cleaning', highlighting its convenient design.

💡Overspray

Overspray refers to the paint particles that miss the intended surface and end up being sprayed into the surrounding air during a painting job. The video touts the '150m's high efficiency airless technology' as providing 'up to 55% less overspray'. Minimizing overspray is desirable as it reduces paint waste, cleanup efforts, and potential environmental impacts.

💡Pressure adjustment

The ability to adjust the operating pressure is a key feature highlighted for the 250m and 350m Control Pro models. The video explains that these units 'can both be adjusted from zero pressure up to 110 bar by these dials here'. Adjustable pressure allows tailoring the spray characteristics to different paint viscosities and application needs, providing more versatility.

💡Direct intake

Direct intake refers to the ability of the 250m and 350m models to draw paint directly from the original paint container, rather than needing to pour it into a hopper. As the video states, 'they are direct intake from your paint container by placing these in they'. This design eliminates the need to transfer paint and makes painting from larger original containers more convenient.

💡Spray tips

Spray tips, also called nozzles, are the small components at the end of the spray gun that the paint is forced through under high pressure. The video highlights that 'all three airless units come with two different tip sizes for different types of Material - one's for thick paint and one's for thinner paint'. Using the proper sized tip is crucial for optimizing spray patterns for different paint viscosities.

💡High efficiency airless

High efficiency airless, or HEA, is a spraying technology that combines a highly efficient pump with an innovative nozzle design. As explained in the video, it allows 'easy and clean paint application with up to 55 percent less spray mist' compared to traditional airless sprayers. This results in less overspray, easier operation, and a longer service life for the equipment.

💡Filters

Filters are components used in sprayers to remove any debris or undissolved particles from the paint before it reaches the spray tip. The video mentions including 'a filter kit for materials that are difficult to process' and instructs users to 'use the correct filter in the filter housing' based on paint viscosity. Proper filter use ensures clog-free spraying.

💡Telescopic handle

A telescopic handle is an extendable and retractable handle used for improved portability and storage. The 350m model is highlighted as having 'a collapsible telescopic handle that makes it easier for storage'. This allows the handle to be extended for easier maneuvering during use, and collapsed to a more compact size when not needed.

💡Cutting in

Cutting in refers to the painting technique of using a brush to paint the areas that a spray cannot easily reach, such as corners, edges, and areas close to adjoining surfaces. The video states that 'control pro devices from wagner allow effortless cutting in of corners and edges', emphasizing the sprayers' ability to minimize tedious brushwork.

again tighten with the spanner

if not already pre-assembled attach the suction  hose to the material inlet on the device  

and slide the return hose into the return  connector secure the two hoses with the clamp

now place the end of the suction  hose directly into the paint bucket  

press the red inlet valve pusher to  ensure that the inlet valve is free  

remove the nozzle holder and nozzle and  make sure that the selector is set to prime

turn on the unit by slowly setting  the pressure regulator to two

as soon as paint comes out of the return hose hold  the spray gun to the edge of the paint container  

and depress the trigger rotate the  selector switch to the spray position  

until the material is projected smoothly now  lock the gun and place the nozzle holder with  

the appropriate nozzle onto the spray gun  with the tip facing forward and secure it

your device is now ready for spraying it is  advisable to carry out a brief test spray for  

example on a cardboard box the variable pressure  regulation can be adjusted manually depending on  

the application choose the maximum pressure when  using higher viscosity materials such as wall  

paint reduce the pressure when spraying lower  viscosity materials such as paints or varnishes

we have also included a filter kit for  materials that are difficult to process  

use the correct filter in the filter housing  

for low viscosity materials such as paints and  varnishes please use nozzle 311 and the red filter  

and for high viscosity materials such as wall  paint use nozzle 517 and the white filter  

the filter housing can be easily installed  between the spray hose and spray gun  

subsequent cleaning of the control pro is also  quick and easy set the pressure switch to zero  

and a selector switch to prime to release the  pressure remove the nozzle and the nozzle holder  

from the spray gun and place these parts  in a container containing cleaning liquid

remove the suction hose from the container and  place it in a vessel containing water or detergent

turn the switch from prime to spray  and set the pressure to maximum

unlock the gun spray the excess paint back  into the paint bucket no material is wasted

as soon as cleaning liquid emerges release the  trigger and set the selector switch to prime  

then hold the spray gun to the  edge of the cleaning bucket and  

depress the trigger until clear liquid  emerges the device cleans itself via the

circulation pay attention to the  room temperature when using paints  

they are easier to spray when warm if required  you can dilute your paint with warm water

for your own safety it is advisable  to wear protective clothing  

especially when working with enamels and  varnishes activate the gun only after you  

have begun the spraying movement and release  the trigger before the end of the movement

to ensure an even coating maintain  a constant distance from the surface  

keep your movements consistent and overlap the  previous spray path by around a third each time

and that's the complete Wagner range so  if you're looking for more tips advice
