FLOW CONTROL KNOB (Fig. I)
The flow control knob (#18) regulates the amount of liquid that can be sprayed. Turning the flow knob
clockwise increases the flow of liquid. Turning the knob counter anti-clockwise decreases the flow of liquid.
Tip: Always test the spray pattern on scrap cardboard or similar material first. Begin with flow control knob on
the highest flow setting. If less flow is desired, dial the flow control knob anti- clockwise to decrease the flow
of liquid. Heavier, thicker materials should be sprayed with the flow control knob on high flow setting. Thinner
materials should be sprayed with the flow control knob on low flow setting
DEVELOPING THE PROPER SPRAYING TECHNIQUE
●Practice spraying on a piece of scrap material such as cardboard to test your spray pattern and become
familiar with the flow control feature of the sprayer.
●Ensure surface to be sprayed is free of dust, dirt, and grease.
●Ensure spray area is clean and free of dust that could be blown onto newly sprayed surfaces.
●Cover any areas not intended to be sprayed.
●Always spray from a minimum of 50 mm to a maximum of 300 mm (Fig. J).
●A commonly used method for spraying a large surface is the "crisscross" pattern. This is done by spraying in
horizontal strips and then crossing over these strips with vertical strips (Fig. L).
●To get an even spray distribution, always keep your arm at the same distance (Fig. J) from the surface you
are spraying and avoid moving your wrist (Fig. K).
● Maintain smooth and consistent speed which will help avoid inconsistencies. Begin spraying after the pass
has begun and release trigger before stopping the pass.
●Avoid spraying too heavily in any one area. Several lighter coats are better than one heavy coat which can
lead to running and dripping. Remember that the flow control knob regulates the amount of liquid that can be
sprayed. Turning the flow knob clockwise increases the flow of liquid. Turning the knob counter clockwise
decreases the flow of liquid. If runs or drips do occur, have a dry paint brush on hand to smooth them out.
●Turn the power unit off and unplug the cord when not spraying for any length of time.
CLEANING
Warning! Be sure to use appropriate protective gear.
●Do not use materials with a flashpoint higher than 60°C (140°F). Flashpoint is the temperature that a fluid can
produce enough vapors to ignite (see coating supplier).
●Make sure clean up area is well ventilated and free of flammable vapors.
●Always spray outdoors when spraying cleaning solution through sprayer.
●Do not submerse power unit.
●Use drop cloths during pouring, mixing, and viscosity testing of materials to be sprayed to protect your floors
and an hing else in the spraying area that you wish to remain untouched.
To begin cleaning:
●Turn the power unit off, unplug the cord and disconnect air hose from sprayer.
●Unscrew the canister from the sprayer and pour any remaining liquid back into the original container (Fig. M).
●Pour a small amount of the appropriate cleaning solution into the canister (Fig. N).
