Included Components:

Setup

1. Assembly

  1. Ensure the power cord is unplugged before assembly.
  2. Align the spray attachment with the main unit, ensuring the grooves match. Insert the spray attachment into the main housing and twist clockwise until it locks securely into place.
  3. Attach the 800ml container to the bottom of the spray attachment by screwing it on tightly.

2. Paint Preparation and Viscosity Test

Proper paint viscosity is crucial for optimal spraying results and to prevent clogging. Always test the paint's viscosity using the provided viscosity cup.

  1. Fill the viscosity cup with the paint.
  2. Measure the time it takes for the paint to completely drain from the cup.
  3. For water-based paints, the runout time should be between 20-45 seconds. For solvent-based paints, it should be 45-60 seconds.
  4. If the paint drains too slowly, dilute it with the appropriate thinner (water for water-based paints, or paint thinner for solvent-based paints) and stir thoroughly. Re-test until the desired viscosity is achieved.

3. Nozzle Selection

The sprayer includes four copper nozzles of different sizes (1.0mm, 1.3mm, 1.8mm, 2.5mm) for various applications. Copper nozzles offer enhanced durability compared to plastic.

To change a nozzle, unscrew the union nut, remove the current nozzle, place the desired nozzle, and re-secure the union nut. Ensure a new O-ring is in place to prevent leaks.

4. Initial Setup and Paint Filling

  1. Once paint is prepared, pour it into the 800ml container.
  2. Securely attach the container to the sprayer.

Operating Instructions

1. Adjusting Spray Patterns

The sprayer offers three adjustable spray patterns: vertical, horizontal, and circular. To change the pattern, rotate the air cap to align with the desired pattern.

2. Flow Control

Adjust the paint flow rate using the flow control knob located near the trigger. Turning the knob clockwise increases flow, while counter-clockwise decreases it. This allows for precise control and avoids paint waste.

3. Pre-Spray Dust Removal (Blowing Function)

This unique feature allows you to use the sprayer to blow away dust from the surface before painting. Simply remove the container and activate the sprayer to utilize its blowing function.

4. Spraying Technique

Maintain a recommended working distance of 10-30cm (4-12 inches) from the target object for an even and smooth finish. Keep the machine facing the spray object and use consistent, even motions.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Thorough cleaning after each use is essential to maintain the sprayer's performance and prevent paint from hardening and clogging the nozzles. Clean immediately after spraying.

1. Disassembly for Cleaning

  1. Unplug the power cord.
  2. Press the release button and twist the spray attachment counter-clockwise to detach it from the main unit.
  3. Unscrew the paint container.
  4. Unscrew the union nut and remove the air cap and nozzle.
