4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Paint Preparation and Refilling

1. Always dilute paint according to the manufacturer's instructions and test viscosity using the included viscosity cup. Proper dilution is crucial for optimal spray performance and to prevent clogging.
2. Use the convenient side-fill port to add paint to the 1200mL tank without disassembling the entire unit. This minimizes mess and speeds up refills.
3. Securely close the side-fill cap after refilling.

4.2 Adjusting Spray Patterns and Flow Control

The sprayer offers three adjustable spray patterns: horizontal, vertical, and circular. Rotate the air cap to switch between these patterns to suit your application needs.

Use the adjustable flow dial to fine-tune the paint output, from a delicate mist to a heavy stream, for precise coverage on various surfaces.
