Operation
Proper operation ensures a smooth finish and extends the life of your sprayer.
- Prepare Paint: Dilute your paint to the recommended viscosity using the provided viscometer cup. Fill the viscometer cup with paint and time how long it takes for the paint to drain completely. Refer to the paint manufacturer's guidelines for specific viscosity recommendations.
- Fill Paint Container: Pour the prepared paint into the 1200ml container.
- Adjust Spray Pattern: Rotate the air cap to select your desired spray pattern:
- Vertical: For horizontal surfaces.
- Horizontal: For vertical surfaces.
- Circular: For small areas or detailed work.
- Adjust Flow Control: Use the flow control dial to regulate the paint output. Turn clockwise to increase flow and counter-clockwise to decrease flow.
- Nozzle Selection: Choose the nozzle size based on paint type and desired finish:
- 1.55mm / 1.8mm: Suitable for paints requiring high sprayability, such as water-based paints, topcoats, and recoat paints.
- 2.2mm / 2.6mm: Suitable for thicker paints such as primers and latex paints.
- Spraying Technique: Maintain a consistent distance from the surface (approx. 50cm) and move the sprayer in even, overlapping strokes. For upward spraying, ensure the suction tube is oriented towards the rear of the tank to prevent air intake.

Maintenance & Cleaning
Regular cleaning is crucial for optimal performance and longevity of your paint sprayer.
- Empty Container: After each use, empty any remaining paint from the container.
- Rinse Container: Fill the container with an appropriate cleaning solution (water for water-based paints, mineral spirits for oil-based paints) and spray it through the nozzle until clear.
- Disassemble and Clean: Disassemble the spray attachment, nozzle, and suction tube. Use the provided cleaning brush and needle to thoroughly clean all components, removing any paint residue. Rinse under running water.
- Clean Filters: Inspect and clean the filters regularly. Replace if damaged.
- Dry and Store: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling and storing the sprayer in a clean, dry place.
Refer to Video 1 in the Setup section for a visual guide on cleaning procedures.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your paint sprayer, consider the following common solutions:
- No Spray or Weak Spray: Check paint viscosity, ensure nozzle is clear, verify suction tube is correctly positioned, and confirm battery is charged.
- Uneven Spray Pattern: Adjust the air cap for the desired pattern, ensure the nozzle is clean and not clogged, and check paint consistency.
- Paint Dripping: Ensure all connections are tight, the nozzle is clean, and the paint viscosity is appropriate.
- Motor Not Running: Check battery connection and charge level.
