2. Preparing the Paint

Proper paint viscosity is crucial for optimal spraying. Use the included viscometer to check the paint's consistency.

  1. Stir the paint thoroughly.
  2. Dip the viscometer into the paint until it is completely filled.
  3. Lift the viscometer and measure the time it takes for the paint to completely drain out.
  4. Refer to the paint manufacturer's recommendations for thinning. If the drain time exceeds the recommended value (e.g., 120DIN-s maximum for this sprayer), thin the paint with the appropriate solvent (water for water-based paints, mineral spirits for oil-based paints) until the desired viscosity is achieved.
  5. Mix thoroughly after thinning.

3. Filling the Container

Unscrew the paint container from the spray gun. Pour the prepared paint into the container, ensuring not to overfill. Securely screw the container back onto the spray gun.

4. Attaching the Nozzle

Select the appropriate copper nozzle for your painting project. The kit includes two copper nozzles for different spray patterns or material types. Screw the chosen nozzle firmly onto the spray gun head.

Operating Instructions

1. Preparing the Surface

Proper surface preparation is key to a professional finish. Follow these steps:

2. Spraying Technique

  1. Test Spray: Before painting your actual project, test the spray pattern on a piece of scrap material. Adjust the nozzle and flow rate as needed.
  2. Maintain Distance: Hold the spray gun approximately 6-10 inches (15-25 cm) from the surface.
  3. Even Strokes: Move the spray gun in smooth, even strokes, overlapping each pass by about 50%.
  4. Trigger Control: Press the trigger fully to start spraying and release it at the end of each stroke to avoid paint buildup.
  5. Avoid Tilting: Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface to ensure an even coat.

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your paint spray gun and ensure consistent performance.

1. Cleaning After Use

  1. Empty Container: Empty any remaining paint from the container.
  2. Rinse Container: Fill the container with the appropriate cleaning solution (water for water-based paints, solvent for oil-based paints) and spray it through the gun until clear.
  3. Disassemble: Unscrew the container, remove the nozzle, and disassemble other removable parts.
  4. Clean Components: Thoroughly clean all parts with the cleaning solution and the included nozzle cleaning needle. Use a brush if necessary.
  5. Rinse and Dry: Rinse all components with clean water (if using water-based cleaning solution) and allow them to dry completely before reassembly.

2. Nozzle Cleaning

Use the provided nozzle cleaning needle to clear any dried paint or blockages from the nozzle openings. Ensure the nozzle is completely clear for an even spray pattern.

3. Storage

Store the clean and dry paint spray gun in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep it out of reach of children.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your paint spray gun, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

Problem Possible Cause Solution
