5.2 Paint Preparation and Dilution
Proper paint dilution is crucial for optimal spraying performance and a smooth finish. Use the included viscosity cup to test your paint.
- Consult Paint Manufacturer's Instructions: Always refer to the paint manufacturer's recommendations for dilution ratios for spray applications.
- Use Viscosity Cup: Fill the viscosity cup with the paint. Time how long it takes for the paint to flow out completely. Compare this time to the recommended viscosity for your paint type (usually found in the sprayer manual or paint instructions).
- Dilute Gradually: If the paint is too thick, add a small amount of appropriate thinner (water for water-based paints, mineral spirits for oil-based paints) and mix thoroughly. Re-test with the viscosity cup until the desired consistency is achieved.
- Filter Paint: Use the included paper funnels to filter the paint before pouring it into the container. This removes impurities that could clog the nozzle.
5.3 Filling the Container
After diluting and filtering the paint, carefully pour it into the 1200ml paint container. Do not overfill. Securely attach the container to the sprayer unit.
6. Operating Instructions
Before starting, ensure your work area is prepared, protected, and well-ventilated. Wear all necessary PPE.
- Connect Power: Plug the sprayer into a suitable power outlet.
- Test Spray: Before spraying your actual project, perform a test spray on a piece of cardboard or scrap material to check the spray pattern and flow. Adjust as needed.
- Maintain Consistent Distance: Hold the sprayer approximately 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) from the surface, maintaining a consistent distance for an even coat.
- Use Smooth, Even Strokes: Move the sprayer in smooth, overlapping passes. Avoid tilting the sprayer excessively, which can lead to uneven coverage or drips.
- Anti-Backflow System: When spraying upwards, such as on ceilings, turn the suction pipe backwards to ensure continuous paint flow and prevent backflow.

7. Adjusting Spray Patterns and Flow
Your sprayer offers precise control over the spray pattern and paint flow for different applications.
7.1 Spray Pattern Adjustment
The 360° adjustable air cap allows you to change the spray pattern:
Image: A diagram illustrating the 360° adjustable spray pattern feature. It shows how rotating the air cap allows switching between horizontal, vertical, and circular spray patterns, providing flexibility for different painting needs.
- Horizontal: For spraying horizontal surfaces or moving the sprayer up and down.
- Vertical: For spraying vertical surfaces or moving the sprayer side to side.
- Circular: For small areas, corners, or intricate details.
To adjust, simply rotate the air cap to align with your desired pattern. Ensure the nozzle is securely tightened for optimal spray width.
7.2 Flow Control Adjustment
Use the adjustable knob on the side of the sprayer to control the paint flow speed:

- Turn the knob clockwise for a higher paint flow.
- Turn the knob counter-clockwise for a lower paint flow.
7.3 Nozzle Selection
The sprayer includes 5 brass nozzles (1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm) for different materials and finishes. Brass nozzles are durable and corrosion-resistant.

Choose a smaller nozzle (e.g., 1mm, 1.5mm) for thinner materials like stains or lacquers, and a larger nozzle (e.g., 2.5mm, 3mm) for thicker materials like latex paint or primers.
8. Maintenance and Cleaning
Thorough cleaning after each use is essential to maintain the sprayer's performance and extend its lifespan. The sprayer comes with all necessary cleaning accessories.

- Empty Container: Empty any remaining paint from the container.
- Rinse Container: Fill the container with the appropriate cleaning solution (water for water-based paints, mineral spirits for oil-based paints). Spray the solution through the sprayer until it runs clear.
- Disassemble: Disconnect the power. Disassemble the spray head, nozzle, air cap, and container.
- Clean Components: Use the cleaning brush and needle to thoroughly clean all paint-contacting parts. Pay special attention to the nozzle and air cap to remove any dried paint.
- Clean Air Filter: Regularly check and clean the air filter located on the motor unit. Replace the sponge if necessary.
- Dry and Store: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing the sprayer in a clean, dry place.

9. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your paint sprayer, refer to the table below for common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No spray or weak spray | Nozzle clogged, paint too thick, suction tube blocked, air filter dirty. | Clean nozzle and air cap. Dilute paint. Clear suction tube. Clean/replace air filter. |
| Uneven spray pattern or spitting | Nozzle partially clogged, air cap loose, paint consistency uneven, wrong nozzle size. | Clean nozzle. Tighten air cap. Re-mix/re-dilute paint. Select appropriate nozzle. |
| Motor runs but no paint sprays | Suction tube not immersed in paint, air leak, paint container empty. | Ensure suction tube is in paint. Check for loose connections. Refill paint container. |
| Excessive overspray | Paint flow too high, sprayer too far from surface, paint too thin. | Reduce paint flow. Move sprayer closer to surface. Thicken paint slightly. |
