Setup

1. Battery Installation (Battery and Charger Not Included)

This paint gun operates with an 18V battery (compatible with 2.0 Ah capacity, not included).

1. Ensure the paint gun is turned off.
2. Align the compatible 18V battery with the battery slot at the base of the handle.
3. Slide the battery into place until it clicks securely.
4. To remove, press the battery release button (if present) and slide the battery out.

2. Nozzle Selection

The DALPG18-1 includes three interchangeable nozzles: 1.5 mm, 1.8 mm, and 2.2 mm. Choose the appropriate nozzle based on the material you are spraying and the desired finish.

• 1.5 mm: Ideal for thinner materials and fine finishes.
• 1.8 mm: Suitable for general purpose paints and medium viscosity materials.
• 2.2 mm: Best for thicker paints and achieving faster coverage.

1. Unscrew the nozzle cap from the front of the spray gun.
2. Insert the desired nozzle into the nozzle housing.
3. Screw the nozzle cap back on securely.

3. Paint Preparation and Dilution

Proper paint viscosity is crucial for optimal spray performance and finish quality. Always follow the paint manufacturer's recommendations for dilution.

• Use a viscosity cup (not included) to measure the paint's thickness.
• Dilute the paint gradually with the recommended thinner (water for water-based paints, mineral spirits for oil-based paints) until it reaches the desired viscosity.
• Stir the paint thoroughly after each addition of thinner.
• Note: Avoid over-diluting to ensure proper adhesion and durability of the paint.

4. Filling the Reservoir

1. Unscrew the paint container from the spray gun body.
2. Pour the prepared paint into the container. Do not overfill; leave some space for air. The container has a 1000 ml capacity.
3. Screw the paint container back onto the spray gun body securely.

Operating Instructions

1. Adjusting Spray Pattern and Flow

The DALPG18-1 allows for adjustment of both spray pattern and material flow.

• Spray Pattern Adjustment: Rotate the air cap to select horizontal, vertical, or circular spray patterns.

• Material Flow Adjustment: Use the flow control knob (usually located at the rear of the trigger) to increase or decrease the amount of paint sprayed. Start with a lower setting and gradually increase until the desired coverage is achieved.

2. Painting Technique

For best results, maintain a consistent distance and speed while spraying.

• Hold the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, approximately 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) away.
• Move the gun in smooth, even strokes, overlapping each pass by about 50%.
• Release the trigger at the end of each stroke to avoid paint buildup.
• Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat to prevent drips and ensure a smooth finish.

Maintenance

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

1. Cleaning After Use

1. Empty any remaining paint from the container.
2. Pour a small amount of appropriate cleaning solution (water for water-based paints, mineral spirits for oil-based paints) into the container.
3. Spray the cleaning solution through the gun until it runs clear.
4. Disassemble the nozzle, air cap, and paint container.
5. Clean all components thoroughly with the cleaning solution and a brush. Pay special attention to the nozzle and air cap to remove any dried paint. Use a cleaning needle for small orifices.
6. Rinse all parts with clean water and allow them to dry completely before reassembly.

2. Storage

Store the paint gun in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure all components are clean and dry before storage.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your paint gun, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• No Spray or Weak Spray:
  • Check if the paint container is empty or nearly empty.
  • Ensure the nozzle and air cap are clean and free of clogs.
  • Verify the paint is properly diluted and not too thick.
  • Check if the battery is fully charged and properly installed.
• Uneven Spray Pattern:
  • Clean the nozzle and air cap thoroughly.
  • Adjust the spray pattern setting.
  • Ensure consistent distance and movement during spraying.
• Paint Dripping:
  • Reduce the material flow setting.
  • Ensure the paint is not over-diluted.
  • Apply thinner coats.
