Introduction Create by Earlex™ is a simple to use paint sprayer specifically designed for arts and crafts. The compact, portable unit and easy to use spray gun provides a soft, even spray, perfect for your decorating tasks. Selecting Paint This is a highly versatile Craft Spraying Kit that can be used with several different water-based spray mediums including acrylics, fabric and poster paints.
Thinning Paint Yes/no 0% 10% 25% 30% Emulsion Paints Gloss Paints Fabric Paints Metallic Paints Acrylic Paints Wood Stains Gesso Primer Poster Paints Glazes and Varnishes l l l l l l l l Rough Textured Paints X X X Solvent-Based Paints X X X X X In order to spray some materials they need to be “thinned” (diluted). Thinning is very important when spraying. Most paints are supplied ready for brush application and may need to be thinned (diluted) for spraying purposes.
Operation 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Fill the Paint Container (13) with the material to be sprayed. DO NOT FILL above MAX level indicator. Stir the paint well using Paint Stirrer (16) supplied. Push the Paint Feed Tube (11) firmly into the base of the spray gun body. Screw the container onto the gun body tightly. An airtight seal is essential for the correct operation of this gun.
Paint Volume Min. The volume of paint sprayed is easily adjustable (Fig.3). l Completely close the Fluid Adjusting Screw (8) by turning fully clockwise. While pulling the Trigger (14), begin turning the fluid adjusting screw anticlockwise until the volume of paint you require is obtained. l If the paint spray is too wide or contains too much paint turn the Fluid Adjusting Screw (8) clockwise again. Once the correct spray pattern is obtained you are able to commence spraying.
Helpful Hints 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Evenly control the speed of movement of the spray gun. A fast speed will give a thin coat and a slow speed will give a thick coat. Only apply one coat at a time. If an additional coat is required, follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions for drying times. If spraying small areas or objects keep the output setting low as this will avoid excessive use of paints and will minimize overspray.
Stencilling l l l l l l l l l l l l Your Create by Earlex™ Craft Paint Spraying Kit comes complete with 5 stencils, perfect for decorating walls, furniture, fabric and other items (Fig.6). Attach the stencil to the surface using the masking tape provided, making sure the stencil lies completely flat. This will prevent the air from the gun getting underneath the stencil and raising it from the surface. Prepare your paint and your spray gun as explained earlier in the manual and in the DVD.
tions Cleaning Instruc THE SPRAY GUN MUST BE THOROUGHLY CLEANED IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. IF THE PAINT DRIES INSIDE THE GUN CLEANING WILL BECOME MUCH MORE DIFFICULT AND MAY RENDER THE GUN INOPERABLE. THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE LIMITED WARRANTY. The spray gun is the same as a paintbrush, if it is not cleaned the paint will go hard and can become useless. You must therefore clean this out after use. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. Remove Paint Container (13) from gun.
Needle Assembly 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Screw the Fluid Tip (4) in place. Gently tighten with a spanner. Insert Fluid Needle (6) into the back of the gun. Next place the Spring (7) into the back of the gun over the Fluid Needle (6). Hold the Trigger (14) down whilst you screw the Fluid Adjusting Screw (8) into place. Release Trigger (14). Place the Spray Direction Plate (3) on top of the Fluid Tip (4). Place the Air Cap (2) over the Fluid Tip (4). Screw on the Air Cap Ring (1).
