• Union Nut: Secures the air cap and nozzle.
• Air Cap: Directs the air flow and helps shape the spray pattern.
• Spray Jet Width Adjusting Lever: Allows selection of different spray patterns (circular, horizontal, vertical).
• Nozzle: Determines the paint flow rate and spray fineness.
• 1000ml Container: Holds the paint material.
• Flow Control Knob: Adjusts the paint output volume.
• Trigger: Activates the sprayer.
• Motor Unit: Houses the electric motor and air pump.

Setup

1. Prepare the Work Area: Ensure the area is clean, well-ventilated, and free from dust and debris. Cover any surfaces not to be painted.
2. Prepare the Paint Material:

   Most paints require thinning for optimal spraying. Use the included viscosity measuring cup to determine the correct consistency. Fill the cup with paint and time how long it takes for the paint to flow out. Refer to your paint manufacturer's instructions for recommended viscosity. Add appropriate thinner (water for latex, mineral spirits for oil-based) gradually, stirring well, until the desired viscosity is achieved.

3. Fill the Container: Unscrew the 1000ml container from the spray gun. Pour the prepared paint material into the container. Do not overfill. Securely reattach the container to the spray gun.
4. Select and Install Nozzle:

   Choose the appropriate nozzle size based on your paint material and desired finish:

   • 1.5mm - 2.2mm nozzles: Ideal for thin paints like sealers, varnishes, stains, and lacquers.
   • 2.6mm nozzle: Suitable for thicker paints such as latex, chalk paint, and primers.

   To install, ensure the nozzle is clean and properly seated in the air cap. Secure the union nut firmly.

5. Adjust Spray Pattern: Rotate the air cap to select one of three spray patterns:
   • Circular (45°): For small areas or detailed work.
   • Horizontal (90°): For horizontal surfaces or wide coverage.
   • Vertical (180°): For vertical surfaces or tall objects.

6. Adjust Flow Control: Turn the flow control knob on the trigger to adjust the paint output volume. Start with a lower setting and increase as needed.

Operating Instructions

1. Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet. The sprayer features a 6.6 ft extra long cord for increased accessibility.
2. Test Spray: Before spraying your actual project, test the spray pattern and flow on a piece of scrap material (cardboard, wood). Adjust the flow control knob and spray pattern until you achieve the desired result.
3. Spraying Technique:
   • Hold the sprayer approximately 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) from the surface, perpendicular to the surface.
   • Move the sprayer in smooth, even strokes, overlapping each pass by about 50%.
   • Maintain a consistent speed to ensure an even coat.
   • Release the trigger at the end of each stroke to avoid paint buildup.
   • For best results, apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat.

4. Breaks: If taking a short break, place the sprayer on a flat surface to prevent tipping. For longer breaks, clean the nozzle and air cap to prevent drying.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning after each use is crucial for the longevity and performance of your paint sprayer.

1. Empty Container: Disconnect the power. Unscrew the paint container and pour any remaining paint back into its original can.
2. Initial Rinse: Fill the container with appropriate cleaning solution (water for latex, mineral spirits for oil-based). Reattach the container and spray the cleaning solution into a waste container until the spray runs clear.
3. Disassemble and Clean:
   • Unscrew the union nut and remove the air cap and nozzle.
   • Thoroughly clean all disassembled parts (container, suction tube, nozzle, air cap, union nut) with the appropriate cleaning solution and the included cleaning brush.
   • Pay special attention to the nozzle and air cap holes to ensure they are free of paint residue.
   • Use the cleaning needle to clear any blockages in the nozzle.
4. Clean Motor Unit: Wipe down the exterior of the motor unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor unit in liquid.
5. Air Filter: Regularly check and clean the air filter located on the motor unit. Replace if heavily soiled or damaged.
6. Dry and Store: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling. Store the paint sprayer in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
