PLEASE READ MAIN INSTRUCTION MANUAL
BEFORE USE
Basic Rules of Spraying
• Never spray outside if the weather is raining, windy, or in
temperatures of +90˚F or less than 45˚F, as this may affect
the paint and potentially ruin your finish.
• Always have a drop cloth and wear a mask like you would
for a roller or brush if spraying inside.
• Spend a few minutes getting the viscosity of the paint
where it needs to be.
• Practice your technique (even if you have sprayed before),
just to familiarize yourself with the coating and different
spray patterns and flow rate of the gun.
• Always clean up your spray gun after every use.
Refer to safety operating instructions in main manual
before use.
Follow these simple instructions to set-up
your Spray Station:
a)Important - always stir the paint thoroughly and then test
the viscosity of the paint. Many materials do not need
thinning. However, if required refer to the thinning section
in the main instruction manual.
b)Strain the paint while pouring into the paint container
using hosiery or cheese cloth.
ALWAYS KEEP THE TURBINE AS FAR AWAY
FROM THE SPRAYING AREA AS POSSIBLE TO
PREVENT PAINT CONTAMINATING THE MOTOR.

c)Screw the spray gun body onto the paint container.
d)Start with the paint flow adjuster at its minimum setting so
the trigger cannot be pulled.
e)Insert hose into the rear of the spray gun and connect up
to the turbine.
f) Set the spray gun to horizontal, vertical or round pattern using
the spray direction plate.
g) Turn on and test spraying on a piece of cardboard or an
inconspicuous area to get the feel of the spray gun and to
familarize yourself with the spray patterns and paint flow rate.
h)
Gradually turn the paint flow adjuster until the right volume
of paint is flowing through the spray gun.
i) Never spray with your wrist, use your arm and always try to
keep the same distance away from the surface. 10"-12"
(25-30cm) is recommended.
j) Move your arm relative to the flow rate of the paint. You
will immediately see if you have too little or too much
coating on a surface. If too little, increase flow rate or slow
down your arm movement, if too much, reduce flow rate
or increase the speed of your arm movement.
k) Try to overlap coats on flat surfaces such as walls or
ceilings. When you are using a latex try using a cross hatch
technique (left to right and up and down). If you develop
a good technique you should only have to do one coat.
l) HVLP technology will ensure the paint dries much faster
than if you applied with a brush or roller so you can apply
a second coat if necessary much sooner.
m)Once you have completed your painting empty the
remaining paint back into paint can, clean the paint
container, paint container seal, and the pick-up tube.
Pour ½ quart of water or mineral spirit (if oil-based) into the
paint container and spray for 30-40 seconds or until the
spray is clear.
n) Wipe the needle, fluid tip and air cap clean. Remove the
needle if necessary and wipe clean (using the needle
tool provided (Fig.1)).
