Tip: Use the mixing bucket provided to pour material
from the original material container into the side fill
canister.
f
Clean any residual liquid from the threads or sides of
the canister and sprayer.
f
Starting the threads evenly, screw the lid completely
onto the side fill canister. Check the lid to make sure it
is threaded on squarely and completery before picking
up the sprayer.
OPERATION
MATERIAL FLOW ADJUSTMENT
Set the material volume by turning the material adjustment
knob on the trigger of the sprayer.
f
For maximum material flow, thread knob all the way in
as shown in Fig. E.
f
For minimum material flow, thread knob all the way
out as shown in Fig. E1.
The flow indicator on the side of the sprayer moves
forward (minimal liquid flow) and backward (maximum
liquid flow) as the trigg
Tip: Always test the spray pattern on scrap cardboard or
similar material first. Begin with the material adjustment
knob on the highest flow setting (threaded all the way in). If
less flow is desired, dial the material adjustment knob out.
Heavier, thicker materials should be sprayed with the knob
dialed farther in. Thinner materials should be sprayed with
the knob dialed farther out.
SMART SELECT NOZZLE SELECTION (FIG.F)
There are three spray patterns to choose from. They are
marked as 1, 2 and 3 on the Smart Select label located on
the top of the sprayer (Fig. F). To select pattern number 1,
turn the spray nozzle and align the green indicator on the
spray nozzle with the number 1 on the label (Fig. F1).
Note: Spray nozzle can only be assembled in one
direction. Refer to figure S for proper assembly.
Pattern numbre 1: Horizontal flat Jet
- Apply up and down a surface.
Pattern numbre 2: Circular Jet - for
corners, edges and narrow suface.
para esquinas, bordes y superficies
angostas.
Tip: Position number 2 has a detent
that you can feel when you turn the
spray nozzle. Make sure it locates in
the detent.
Pattern numbre 3: Vertical Flat Jet
Apply side to side.
Warning! Risk of injury. Never point the sprayer ay
any part of the body. Never pull the trigger while adjusting
the spray setting.
DEVELOPING THE PROPER SPRAYING
TECHNIQUE
f
Practice spraying on a piece of scrap material
such as cardboard to test your spray pattern and
become familiar with the flow control feature of the
sprayer.
f
Ensure surface to be sprayed is free of dust, dirt,
and grease.
f
Ensure spray area is clean and free of dust that
could be blown onto newly sprayed surfaces.
f
Cover any areas not intended to be sprayed.
f
Always spray from a minimum of 1 inch (25mm) to
a maximum of 14 inches (355mm) (Fig. G).
f
A commonly used method for spraying a large
surface is the “crisscross” pattern. This is done by
spraying in horizontal strips and then crossing over
these strips with vertical strips.
f
To get an even spray distribution, always keep
your arm at the same distance (Fig. G) from the
surface you are spraying and avoid moving your
wrist (Fig. H).
f
Maintain smooth and consistent speed which will
help avoid inconsistencies. Begin spraying after
the pass has begun and release trigger before
stopping the pass.
f
Avoid spraying too heavily in any one area.
Several lighter coats are better than one heavy
coat which can lead to running and dripping.
Remember that the flow control knob regulates the
amount of liquid that can be sprayed. Turning the
flow knob clockwise increases the flow of liquid.
Turning the knob counterclockwise decreases the
flow of liquid. If runs or drips do occur, have a dry
paint brush on hand to smooth them out.
f
Turn the power unit off when not spraying for any
length of time.
CLEANING
Warning! Be sure to use appropriate protective gear.
Use drop cloths during pouring, mixing, and viscosity
testing of materials to be sprayed to protect your floors
and anything else in the spraying area that you wish to
remain untouched.
