5. Setup

1. Unpack and Inspect: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the spray gun for any signs of damage.
2. Connect Air Supply: Attach a suitable air hose (not included) to the quick connector inlet at the bottom of the spray gun handle. Ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
3. Prepare Paint: Mix your paint according to the paint manufacturer's instructions. Strain the paint to remove any impurities that could clog the nozzle.
4. Fill Paint Cup: Unscrew the paint cup from the top of the spray gun. Pour the prepared paint into the 125ml cup. Do not overfill. Securely reattach the paint cup to the gun.

6. Operating Instructions

Before spraying, always test the spray pattern on a scrap piece of material.

1. Adjust Air Pressure: Connect the air supply and set the air compressor to the recommended spraying pressure of 40 psi. The air pressure adjustment screw on the gun allows for fine-tuning.

2. Adjust Spray Pattern: The spray range knob (often located near the nozzle) controls the shape and width of the spray pattern. Turn it to achieve the desired fan or round pattern. The special anti-skid design allows for fine control.
3. Spraying Technique:
   • Hold the spray gun perpendicular to the surface at the recommended spraying distance of 16-25 cm.
   • Begin moving the gun before pulling the trigger and release the trigger before stopping the movement.
   • Overlap each pass by approximately 50% to ensure even coverage.
   • Maintain a consistent speed and distance for best results.
