Setup

1. Prepare the Work Area: Ensure the area is clean, well-ventilated, and protected from overspray. Cover any surfaces not intended for painting.
2. Prepare the Paint:
   • Stir the paint thoroughly.
   • Use the provided viscosity test container to check the paint's consistency. Fill the container with paint and time how long it takes for the paint to flow out completely. Refer to your paint manufacturer's recommendations for ideal viscosity.
   • If the paint is too thick, dilute it with the appropriate thinner (water for water-based paints, mineral spirits for oil-based paints) until the desired viscosity is achieved.
3. Fill the Paint Container: Unscrew the paint container from the spray gun. Pour the prepared paint into the 800 ml container. Securely reattach the container to the spray gun.
4. Select and Install Nozzle: Choose the appropriate nozzle based on the paint type and desired spray pattern. Attach it securely to the spray gun.
5. Connect Air Hose: Connect one end of the 1.8 m air hose to the spray gun and the other end to the main motor unit. Ensure connections are firm.
6. Power Connection: Plug the main motor unit into a suitable power outlet.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Switch on the main motor unit. The motor will start, and air will flow through the hose to the spray gun.
2. Adjust Spray Pattern: The spray nozzle can be adjusted to produce three different patterns:
   • Vertical Fan: For horizontal surfaces.
   • Horizontal Fan: For vertical surfaces.
   • Circular Jet: For small areas or corners.
   Rotate the air cap on the spray gun to select the desired pattern.

3. Adjust Paint Quantity: Use the integrated paint quantity control dial on the spray gun to regulate the amount of paint being sprayed. Start with a lower setting and increase as needed.
4. Test Spray: Before painting your actual project, perform a test spray on a piece of scrap material to check the spray pattern and paint flow. Adjust settings until satisfied.
5. Spraying Technique:
   • Hold the spray gun at a consistent distance (typically 6-10 inches) from the surface.
   • Move the spray gun in smooth, even strokes, overlapping each pass slightly.
   • Release the trigger at the end of each stroke to avoid paint buildup.
   • Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat to prevent drips and ensure even coverage.
6. Power Off: Once painting is complete, switch off the main motor unit.

Maintenance

Proper cleaning after each use is essential for the longevity and optimal performance of your paint spraying system.

1. Empty Paint Container: Disconnect the power. Unscrew the paint container and pour any remaining paint back into its original can or dispose of it properly.
2. Initial Rinse: Fill the empty paint container with the appropriate cleaning solution (water for water-based paints, thinner for oil-based paints). Reattach the container and spray the cleaning solution through the gun until it runs clear. Dispose of the cleaning solution responsibly.
3. Disassemble and Clean:
   • Unscrew and remove the spray head and nozzle.
   • Use the provided cleaning brush to clean the riser pipe and the inside of the paint container.
   • Use the cleaning needle to clear any blockages in the spray nozzle.
   • Thoroughly clean all disassembled parts with the appropriate cleaning solution.
4. Dry and Reassemble: Allow all components to dry completely before reassembling the spray gun.
5. Storage: Store the paint spraying system in a clean, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and out of reach of children.
