8 SHUTTING DOWN AND CLEANING
Do not clean the motor and control unit of
the mortar spraying machine moistly. And
certainly do not spray down the unit with
high-pressure cleaners or high-pressure
steam cleaners. Danger of short-circuits
caused by water ingressing.

Rough texture –> small amount of atomizing air
Higher convey capacity –> larger amount of atomizing air
Test the desired texture on a test surface.
