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 equipment, 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.

Page 6 Paint Mixture (continued) Paint Mixture (continued) When paint is sprayed, it is broken into tiny droplets, then blown by high- pressure air onto the surface. During this spraying process, the surface of each paint droplet will begin to dry.When it hits the work material, the droplet must liquefy again, and mix with the droplets hitting alongside it. Ideally, these droplets will mix evenly forming a smooth surface. If the paint mixture is too thick, the droplets will not form a smooth layer, and the resulting surface can be described as “pebbly” or “orange peel”. If the paint mixture is too thin, the paint will run, forming long drips before they are thick enough to form a satisfactory coat.Vertical surfaces are more prone to “run” than horizontal surfaces due to the effect of gravity. Sprayer Controls: To adjust the spray pattern, loosen the Nozzle Retainer (2) by turning it counterclockwise, then rotate the Air Nozzle (1), then retighten the Nozzle Retainer (2). For a vertical spray pattern, the “ears” of the Air Nozzle (1) should be horizontal. For a horizontal pattern, the “ears” should be vertical. In other words, the position of the Air Nozzle and the spray pattern are opposite. To control the amount of paint mixture being sprayed, adjust the Fluid Valve Control Knob (33). Turning the Knob clockwise will reduce the amount of paint, turning it counterclockwise will increase the amount of paint available. CAUTION: Do not overtighten the Knob, as this will cut off the paint supply, and may damage the Fluid Needle Seats (30). Do not remove the Fluid Adjusting Valve Assembly (28). To control the amount of air pressure passing through the Sprayer, adjust the Air Valve Control Knob (40). Turning the Knob clockwise will reduce the air pressure, and turning it counterclockwise will increase the air pressure. CAUTION: Do not overtighten the Knob, as this will cut off the air supply, and may damage the Air Ball Valve (36). Do not remove the Air Adjusting Valve Assembly (34). To adjust the Trigger Valve Assembly (22), turn the Trigger Valve Adjust Knob clockwise to reduce the pressure required on the Trigger (8) to operate. Turn the Trigger Valve Adjust Knob counterclockwise to increase the pressure required on the Trigger (8) to operate. SKU 92126 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 7 Applying the Paint: Applying the Paint: To paint in this way, the spray pattern should be set to vertical. It is important to prevent excess paint at the beginning and end of each stroke. Holding the sprayer away from the work piece, squeeze the trigger to start the spray. Then move the spray gun in to within 14-16 inches of the work piece. Move the sprayer smoothly across the work piece, keeping a consistent distance. At the end of each stroke, pull the sprayer away from the work piece as you release the trigger. As you work, carefully observe the way the paint accumulates on the work surface. It is more important to maintain a good paint surface than to form an opaque (thick) paint coat.You can always apply a second coat to get the coverage you want. If the surface is ruined, however, you will have to start over with surface preparation. If the surface does not smooth out in a few seconds after applyi...
