Setup and Preparation

1. Unpacking and Assembly

1. Carefully remove all components from the packaging.
2. Ensure all parts are present: spray gun, paint container, and any included accessories.
3. Attach the paint container to the spray gun body by twisting it securely until it clicks into place.

2. Material Preparation

• Before filling, ensure your coating material (stain, lacquer, paint) is thoroughly mixed.
• For optimal performance, especially with latex paints, thinning may be required. Refer to the coating manufacturer's instructions for recommended thinning ratios. Use appropriate thinning agents (e.g., water for water-based, mineral spirits for oil-based).
• Strain the material through a paint strainer or cheesecloth to remove any lumps or debris that could clog the sprayer.

3. Filling the Container

1. Unscrew the paint container from the spray gun.
2. Pour the prepared coating material into the container, ensuring not to overfill.
3. Securely reattach the container to the spray gun.

Operating Instructions

1. Adjusting Spray Settings

• Adjustable Pattern Width: Rotate the air cap to change the spray pattern from a narrow stream to a wide fan.
• Material Flow Control: Use the red dial on the trigger to adjust the amount of material being sprayed. Start with a lower setting and increase as needed.
• Horizontal and Vertical Spray Pattern: The air cap can be rotated to achieve either a horizontal or vertical fan pattern, suitable for different surfaces.

2. Spraying Technique

• Test Spray: Always test the spray pattern and material flow on a piece of scrap material before applying to your project.
• Distance: Hold the spray gun approximately 6-10 inches (15-25 cm) from the surface.
• Movement: Use smooth, even strokes, moving your entire arm rather than just your wrist. Overlap each pass by about 50% to ensure even coverage.
• Trigger Control: Press the trigger fully to start spraying and release it at the end of each pass.
• Corners and Edges: Angle the spray gun slightly to ensure good coverage in corners and along edges.
