Painting
1. Place the siphon tube into a container of paint.
2. Place the return hose into a metal waste container.
3. Set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure control
knob fully counterclockwise.
4. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve down to the PRIME position.
5. Turn on the sprayer by moving the ON/OFF switch to the ON
position.
6. Allow the sprayer to run until paint is coming through the
return hose into the metal waste container.
7. Turn off the sprayer by moving the ON/OFF switch to the OFF
position.

11. Unlock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the
unlocked position.
Ground the gun by holding it against the edge of the
metal container while flushing. Failure to do so may
lead to a static electric discharge, which may cause a
fire.
12. Trigger the gun into the metal waste container until all air and
solvent is flushed from the spray hose and paint is flowing
freely from the gun.
13. Lock the gun by turning the gun trigger lock to the locked
position.
14. Turn off the sprayer.
15. Attach tip guard and tip to the gun as instructed by the tip

pressure control knob at the lowest setting that maintains
good atomization.
NOTE: Turning the pressure up higher than needed to
atomize the paint will cause premature tip wear and
additional overspray.

Spraying Technique
The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the entire surface.
This is done by using even strokes. Keep your arm moving at a
constant speed and keep the spray gun at a constant distance from
the surface. The best spraying distance is 10 to 12 inches between
the spray tip and the surface.
Even coat throughout
Keep stroke smooth and at an even speed.
Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This means moving
your entire arm back and forth rather than just flexing your wrist.
Light Coat
Do not ex wrist while spraying.
Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise one end
of the pattern will be thicker than the other.
