HOW TO USE (CONTINUED)
PRACTICE FIRST
Practice spraying water on newspaper or cardboard. This will give you the feel of the
sprayer and familiarize you with its features. Follow the instructions for adjusting to the
proper spray pattern.
1. Make sure the spray tip is screwed on tightly. Familiarize yourself with the spray
cap: Turn its wings to adjust to a horizontal, vertical, or cone spray pattern. (See
Figure A.)
2. Remove the container from the spray gun by turning it counterclockwise.
3. Firmly insert the pick-up tube. (See Figure B.) Place the pick-up tube with its angle
pointing forward if you'll be spraying mostly in the downward direction, and place
it facing backward if you'll be spraying mostly in an upward direction. This tube
placement can be adjusted/changed at any time during your project.
4. Fill the container with water and re-fasten it.
5. Plug in the sprayer.
6. Engage the trigger and wait a few seconds for the unit to start spraying the water.
7. Turn the volume control knob fully toward the + to get maximum flow. Then, turn
it to – and notice how the spray pattern changes in width and intensity. Adjust this
knob until you get the desired spray pattern. (See Figure C.)
NOTE: The best distance for spraying is 10 to 12 inches (see Figure D) from the surface
you're spraying. Too far away may result in overspray (and wasted liquid), and too
close may cause liquid build-up (runs).
8. Keep a stiff wrist. Do not bend your wrist at the beginning or the end of the stroke.
(See Figure E.) Do not stop the motion of the unit while spraying. The path of the
sprayer must pass beyond the area being sprayed, and the switch must be triggered
on and off as the sprayer passes into and out of the spraying area. (See Figure F.)
NOTE: Stopping the motion of the sprayer or swinging into a new stroke pattern
while spray is being delivered will result in heavy spray build-up at the edges of the
stroke.
SURFACE PREP
Thoroughly clean all objects and surfaces to be sprayed, before spraying material on
them.
You may want to mask or cover areas not intended to be sprayed.
SMALL PROJECTS
This sprayer uses airflow to transfer liquid to the work piece. It is recommended that
for
small projects, the user first tests the sprayer without adding liquid to the cup. The
airflow may cause small pieces to move or fall during operation. Use caution and good
judgement before spraying liquid.
