Paint Preparation and Filling

RISK OF EXPLOSION – DO NOT SPRAY FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS.

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Do not spray or clean with liquids having a flash point less than 38°C (100°F).
Only use water or mineral spirits for cleaning. Only use water-based or oil- based paint for spraying.

Note: Proper paint mixture is essential. Follow paint manufacturer’s directions for thinning.
Most paints will spray easily if they are thinned properly.

Thin paint according to manufacturer’s directions and mix thoroughly.
Remove Cup.
Carefully strain the paint into the Cup through a paint strainer or a piece of cheesecloth. Fill the Cup 3/4 full.
Replace Cup.

To change fan pattern: Lock Ring will be loose. Keep Fluid Nozzle flush with Air Cap unless
adjusting Pattern. Turn Air Cap clockwise until desired fan pattern is selected.

Fluid/Air Adjustment

Turn Air Control Knob clockwise until it stops. It will be fully open.
Turn Fluid Control Knob counterclockwise until two threads are showing.
Plug Sprayer into grounded 120VAC outlet, then turn Sprayer on.
Spray on piece of scrap material in short bursts, then check consistency.
If necessary, slowly adjust Fluid Control Knob and/or Air Control Knob, then spray on scrap material until desired consistency is achieved.
If paint is too thick, thin paint according to manufacturer’s instructions and repeat instructions above.

3. Spraying

RISK OF EXPLOSION – DO NOT SPRAY FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS.

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY: Do not spray or clean with liquids having a flash point less than 38°C (100°F).
Only use water or mineral spirits for cleaning. Only use water-based or oil- based paint for spraying.

Proper Spraying Techniques
Keep the Spray Gun within 45° up or down from the workpiece. Keep Cup full, if Spray Gun sputters, refill Cup.

Correct Gun Angle
Move your arm, not just your wrist.
Point gun directly towards the surface and maintain an even, steady distance and speed.

Pattern Adjustment
While Spray Gun is facing forward and Trigger is released:

a. To increase pattern size, turn Air Cap clockwise.

b. To decrease pattern size, turn Air Cap counterclockwise.

To Avoid Paint Build Up

Apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat. Overlap 1/3 to 1/2 on second coat.
Start moving the Spray Gun before fully depressing Trigger.
Fully depress Trigger before contacting the workpiece.
When finished with the stroke, release the Trigger while still moving the Spray Gun and after passing the workpiece.

Depress Trigger fully and move Spray Gun in parallel strokes to the workpiece.
Keep the distance from the workpiece between 6″ and 8″.

Note: Do not stop moving the Spray Gun while spraying.

If the Spray Gun stops even briefly while spraying the paint will build up and run down the workpiece.

To avoid clogs, check Fluid Nozzle regularly for dried paint and remove with a cloth as needed.

Note: The motor has thermal overload protection. If unit overheats, allow approximately 30 minutes for unit to cool, then press Thermal Overload Switch.

Note: The stroke speed and Fluid Control Knob adjustment will determine how much paint is being applied.

3. To prevent accidents, after use, release Trigger, turn off and unplug Sprayer, safely discharge any residual air pressure, and release Trigger again.

4. Clean the Spray Gun and Cup IMMEDIATELY after EVERY use and when it will be idle for more than 30 minutes. Delayed or inadequate cleaning will permanently clog the Spray Gun.
