3.2 Pinturaren prestaketa eta biskositatea
Proper paint viscosity is crucial for optimal spraying. Use the included viscosity cup to test your paint:
- Nahastu pintura ondo.
- Fill the viscosity cup with paint.
- Measure the time it takes for the paint to completely drain from the cup. Refer to your paint manufacturer's recommendations for ideal viscosity or the paint gun's manual for general guidelines.
- If the paint is too thick, dilute it gradually with the appropriate thinner (e.g., water for water-based paints, mineral spirits for oil-based paints) and re-test until the desired viscosity is achieved.
- Strain the prepared paint using the included strainer to remove any lumps or debris that could clog the nozzle.
3.3 Filling the Paint Container
Once the paint is prepared:
- Unscrew the paint container from the spray gun unit.
- Pour the prepared and strained paint into the container, ensuring not to overfill (do not exceed the maximum fill line).
- Securely screw the paint container back onto the spray gun unit.
4. Funtzionamendu-argibideak
Follow these steps for effective operation of your Einhell paint gun.
4.1 Ihinztadura-ereduak doitzea
The TC-SY 500 P allows for vertical, horizontal, and circular jet patterns. This is adjusted by rotating the air cap on the front of the gun.
- Horizontal Fan Pattern: Rotate the air cap so the "ears" are horizontal. Ideal for spraying up and down.
- Vertical Fan Pattern: Rotate the air cap so the "ears" are vertical. Ideal for spraying side to side.
- Circular Pattern: Rotate the air cap so the "ears" are diagonal. Ideal for small areas or detailed work.

4.2 Flow Rate Control
The paint gun features a flow control knob, typically located near the trigger. Turn the knob to increase or decrease the paint flow. Always test the flow on a scrap piece of material before applying to your main project.
4.3 Ihinztadura teknika
- Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface, approximately 6-10 inches away.
- Start spraying off the work piece, move across the surface at a consistent speed, and release the trigger off the work piece.
- Estaldura uniformea bermatzeko, gainjarri pase bakoitza % 50 inguru.
- Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat to avoid drips and achieve a smoother finish.
5. Mantentzea eta Garbiketa
