3. Setup Instructions

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the paint shaker from its packaging. Inspect for any damage that may have occurred during shipping.
2. Placement: Place the paint shaker on a stable, level, and sturdy workbench or surface capable of supporting the unit and a full paint can during operation. Ensure there is adequate clearance around the unit.
3. Air Supply Connection: Connect a suitable air hose (not included) to the air inlet port on the paint shaker. Ensure the connection is secure and leak-free. The unit requires a clean, dry, regulated air supply.
4. Lubrication: Before first use, and periodically thereafter, apply a few drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet to lubricate internal components.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps for safe and effective operation of your pneumatic paint shaker:

1. Prepare Paint Can: Ensure the lid of the paint can is securely sealed. If the can has been opened previously, check for any dried paint around the rim that might prevent a proper seal.
2. Adjust Jaws: Loosen the clamping mechanism and adjust the non-marring jaws to accommodate the size of your paint can (1 quart to 1 gallon, 3" to 11" wide).
3. Secure Paint Can: Place the paint can firmly between the jaws. Tighten the clamping mechanism until the can is held securely in place. The can should not be able to move or rotate freely.
4. Connect Air Supply: Ensure your air compressor is set to the recommended operating pressure (refer to specifications). Connect the air supply to the paint shaker.
5. Start Shaking: Activate the air supply to the paint shaker. The unit will begin to shake the paint can. Allow the shaker to operate for a few minutes, or until the paint is thoroughly mixed. The duration will depend on the paint type and how long it has been settled.
6. Stop Shaking: Deactivate the air supply to the paint shaker. Wait for the shaking motion to completely stop before proceeding.
7. Remove Paint Can: Loosen the clamping mechanism and carefully remove the paint can.

Note: Always ensure the paint can is properly sealed and secured before starting the shaker to prevent spills and potential hazards.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your paint shaker.

• Lubrication: Periodically add a few drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet before each use or at regular intervals, depending on usage frequency. This lubricates the internal air motor components.
• Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the paint shaker clean. Wipe off any paint spills immediately. Do not use harsh solvents that may damage the finish or components.
• Air Filter: Ensure your air compressor system has a functional air filter to prevent moisture and debris from entering the paint shaker's air motor.
• Inspections: Regularly inspect the clamping jaws for wear or damage. Ensure all fasteners are tight. Check air connections for leaks.
• Storage: When not in use, store the paint shaker in a clean, dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
