2. Attach the Container: Securely screw the paint container onto the spray gun unit until it is firmly in place.
3. Select Nozzle: Choose the appropriate nozzle (Φ1.8mm or Φ2.6mm) based on the type of paint and the desired spray pattern and flow. The larger nozzle is generally for thicker paints or faster coverage, while the smaller one is for finer finishes.
4. Connect Power: Plug the spray gun into a suitable electrical outlet. Ensure the power cord is not tangled or obstructing your work area.

7. Operating Instructions

7.1. Adjusting Spray Patterns

The WORKPRO spray gun offers three spray patterns: horizontal, vertical, and circular. To change the pattern, adjust the air cap by rotating it. Press the blue button on top of the body to quickly detach the spray unit for easier adjustment or cleaning.

Figure 6: Spray Pattern Adjustment

• Horizontal Jet: For spraying wider surfaces, move the gun vertically.
• Vertical Jet: For spraying taller surfaces, move the gun horizontally.
• Circular Jet: For small areas, corners, or detailed work.

7.2. Adjusting Paint Volume/Flow

The paint volume can be adjusted using the black trigger and the blue paint volume control knob located near the trigger. By controlling the force applied to the trigger and rotating the knob, you can find the optimal paint flow speed for your application.

7.3. General Operation

Once the paint is prepared and the settings are adjusted, hold the spray gun at a consistent distance (typically 6-12 inches) from the surface. Press the trigger to begin spraying. Move the gun steadily and evenly across the surface to ensure uniform coverage. Overlapping each pass slightly will help achieve a smooth finish.
