Spraying - from the Quart Cup
Tip: Before starting your project, practice spraying onto waste cardboard.
1. Fill the 1qt paint cup with your coating material – and check dilution. DO NOT OVERFILL above the start of the threaded neck.
2. Push the pick-up tube (11) firmly into the base of the spray gun body. Screw the paint container onto the spray gun body tightly.
3. Set paint flow adjuster (8) to lowest setting (halfway between min & max).
4. Uncoil the Air Hose (15) and attach it to the back of the spray gun and the other end to the Earlex Spray Station Gemini. Uncoil the power cable and
plug in to the electrical outlet.
5. Turn the turbine on.
6. Fine tune spray output with paint flow adjuster on gun. ¼ to ¾ setting produces the best spray.
7. An airtight seal is essential for the correct operation of this spray gun. Before operating the unit please ensure that the gasket (9) is in place and the
quart cup (12) is securely fixed to the spray gun body.
Tip: If you are spraying a ceiling angle the pick-up tube (11) to the rear of the cup or if you are spraying a floor surface angle the pick-up tube to the
front of the cup. This will ensure you spray as much material as possible before you need to refill the cup.
As some paints, wood preservatives and other sprayable materials contain particles that have differing qualities or you may be using an old paint, we
recommend that you filter your material when filling the paint cup of the spray gun or backpack, through either a funnel with a filter on it or through
hosiery. This will ensure that no large particles enter the paint cup, so preventing blockages and providing you with trouble-free spraying.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE PRODUCT IS ON A STABLE SURFACE AND FREE FROM DUST AND DEBRIS OR LIQUIDS.
ALWAYS KEEP THE PRODUCT AS FAR AWAY FROM THE SPRAYING AREA AS POSSIBLE TO PREVENT PAINT CONTAMINATING THE MOTOR.
MASK ANY AREA YOU DO NOT WISH TO SPRAY.
