Use and Care Manual

PREPARATION
1. Thoroughly mix and thin paint in accordance with the paint
manufacturer’s instructions. Most materials will spray readily if thinned
properly.
2. Strain material through cheese cloth or a paint strainer.
3. Fill the canister about 3/4 full and start the air compressor.
4. Setup a piece of cardboard or other scrap material to use as a target
and adjust for best spray pattern.
5. Test the consistency of the material by making a few strokes on a
cardboard target. If material still appears too thick, add a small
amount of thinner. THIN WITH CARE!! Do not exceed paint
manufacturer’s thinning recommendations.
FAN DIRECTION
The direction of the fan (horizontal or vertical) can
be changed by loosening the lock ring and turning
the air cap 90 degrees (See Figure 3). Hand
tighten lock ring after adjustment.
PATTERN ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust air pressure to the spray gun according to the
recommendations supplied with the spray material. This air pressure
usually falls between 40 - 60 psi.
WARNING!
DO NOT EXCEED SPRAY GUN MAXIMUM PRESSURE.
Adjust air pressure with the trigger pulled and air
control knob (if applicable) fully open. If reduced air
pressure is desired for some areas of the spray job,
use the air compressor regulator or air control knob
to reduce pressure as necessary (See Figure 4).
2. Set pattern size to desired shape. For
full pattern, open pattern control knob
by turning counterclockwise. For a
round pattern, turn pattern control knob
clockwise (See Figure 6).
