Spray Patterns; Spraying Technique - Earlex SPRAY STATION PRO Instructions D'utilisation

Fill the paint container with the spray medium. Take care not to overfill.
Take the spray gun unit and with the clamp lever (22) turned fully anti-clockwise, locate the spray gun unit into
the paint container. Rotate the container until the 2 pins locate into the recesses in the yoke (23). Now turn the
clamp lever clockwise to secure the container to the lid. Do not over tighten.
Place the motor unit onto a clean floor space, free from any loose debris, liquids or dust sheets that could block
the motor inlet. Unwind the hose from the main housing and connect to the back of the gun. Uncoil the mains
cable from the base of the unit and plug in.
ALWAYS KEEP THE MOTOR UNIT AS FAR AWAY FROM THE SPRAYING AREA AS POSSIBLE TO
PREVENT PAINT CONTAMINATING THE MOTOR.
MASK ANY AREA YOU DO NOT WISH TO SPRAY.
Once you have set up ready to spray, switch on the unit. No paint will be sprayed from the gun until the trigger
on the spray gun is pulled. Before starting any work on spraying actual objects we suggest you spend a small
amount of time practicing on cardboard or newspaper until you have got used to how the gun works.
The gun has 3 different spray patterns – Horizontal, Vertical and Round (Fig.2).
The horizontal and vertical are recommended for large surfaces. The round spray is used for small objects or
for areas - such as corners – that are difficult to reach.
To change the spray pattern simply rotate the Air Cap (2) until it clicks into the positions as shown in (Fig.2).
The overall size of the selected spray pattern can be varied by
turning the Air Cap Ring (1). When viewed from the front, rotate
it clockwise to increase the pattern size, or anti-clockwise to
reduce the pattern size.
The volume of paint sprayed is easily adjustable (Fig.3). Completely close adjustment
screw (12) by turning this clockwise as far as it will go. Whilst pulling the trigger, begin
turning the adjustment screw anti-clockwise until the volume of paint you require is
obtained.
If the paint spray contains too much paint turn the adjustment screw clockwise to reduce
it. Once you have set the spray pattern & the paint volume, you are ready to begin
spraying.
1. To obtain the best results always keep your spray gun level and spray equally from side to side or up or
down from the surface. Avoid spraying at an angle as this will lead to runs on the surface (Fig.4-6).
2. Let your arm control the left to right movement rather than your wrist as this will aid even paint distribution
over the whole area.
3. Do not tip the spray gun to more than a 45˚ angle when the motor is switched OFF.
4. You can tip the spray gun at more of an angle when spraying celings and decking etc, providing that the
motor is switched ON. For spraying at angles, please change the
direction of the paint feed tube (24) to the opposite angle that you are
spraying, where there is more paint in the container.
