Operation
1. Prepare the work piece to be painted according to paint manufacturer’s
directions. Prepare your paint mixture according to paint manufacturer’s
directions. NOTE: In most cases, paint must be thinned for proper spraying. Be
sure to use a thinner recommended by the paint manufacturer.
2. Fill the Paint Cup no more than 2/3
full with your paint mixture. Press the
Cap onto the Paint Cup to hold the
paint.
3. IMPORTANT: Before applying paint
to your work piece, test spray a piece
of scrap material. In most cases both
the paint mixture and spray pattern
will have to be adjusted for best
results.
4. To spray, squeeze the Trigger (8), as you move the Sprayer past the work
material. Release the Trigger (8) at the end of each pass. Repeat until you
have proper paint coverage of the work piece.
5. When you have completed painting your project, disconnect the Sprayer from
its air pressure source and clean it immediately, following the directions in the
Maintenance section on page 8.
Painting Tips
Successful spray painting is a skill which requires knowledge of your equip-
ment, familiarity with your paint materials and experience. Differences in paints,
work materials and environmental conditions make every painting task unique. For
best results, practice with your painting mixture on a scrap piece before beginning
to paint your work material.
It is critical that the surface be properly prepared before painting. It will be
difficult to achieve a satisfactory painted surface if the original surface is dirty, rough
or wet.
Paint Mixture:
Each paint mixture will vary. You may use solvent- or water-based paints.
Each of these has a different paint viscosity, and therefore a different flow rate and
drying time. High viscosity is thick, like syrup. Low viscosity is thin, like water.
The purpose of the solvent is to make the paint liquid so it can be applied.
Once applied, the solvent evaporates, leaving the pigment and its binders in place.
