3Spraying
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.
45°
Incorrect
Gun Angle
Do not pivot your wrist or
wave the gun like a fan.
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.
1. Depress Trigger fully and move Spray Gun
in parallel strokes to the workpiece.
2. 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.
