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.
45°
Correct Gun Angle
Move your arm, not just your wrist.
Point gun directly towards the surface and maintain an even, steady distance and speed.
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.
Incorrect
Gun Angle
Do not pivot your wrist or wave the gun like a fan.
