Work Piece and Work Area Set up

Designate a work area that is clean 

1. 

and well-lit.  The work area must not 

allow access by children or pets to 

prevent injury and distraction.
Route the Power Cord (34) along a 

2. 

safe route to reach the work area 

without creating a tripping hazard 

or exposing the Power Cord to pos-

sible damage.  The Power Cord must 

reach the work area with enough 

extra length to allow free movement 

while working.
Secure loose workpieces using a vise 

3. 

or clamps (not included) to prevent 

movement while working.
There must not be hazardous ob-

4. 

jects, such as utility lines or foreign 

objects, nearby that will present a 

hazard while working.
Cover all furniture, decorations, 

5. 

floors, walls, etc. not intended to be 

painted.
Only paint in well ventilated dust free 

6. 

area.

                    Tool Set up

 

Mix and thin the paint or other fluid 

1. 

thoroughly according to the manufac-

turer’s directions.

Carefully strain the paint/fluid through 

2. 

a paint strainer or piece of cheese 

cloth.
Fill the Cup (27) to approximately 

3. 

3/4 full.  Then attach the Cup to the 

Spray Gun.  

(See Figure A, on page 

8.)

Plug the Power Cord (34) into the 

4. 

nearest 120 volt, grounded, electrical 

outlet.  Then turn the Power Switch 

(33) to its “ON” position. 

(See Figure A, on page 8.)

Adjust the air pressure during op-

5. 

eration with the Trigger (6) and the 

Air Control Lever (13).  Turn the Air 

Control Lever clockwise to provide 

less air to the Spray Gun.  Turn the 

Air Control Lever counterclockwise 

to provide more air to the Spray Gun.  

(See Figure A, on page 8.)

Set up a piece of scrap material to 

6. 

practice on.  While practicing on the 

scrap material, check to see that the 

paint/fluid you are spraying has the 

appropriate consistency.  If it appears 

too thick, add a very small amount of 

thinner (not included).
To change the direction of the fan 

7. 

from horizontal to vertical, loosen the 

Air Cap Screw (5) and turn the Air 

Nozzle (4) 90 degrees.  After the ad-

justment, tighten the Air Cap Screw.  

(See Figure B.)

To set the pattern size specific to the 

8. 

job, use the Fluid Control Screw (19).  

Turn it clockwise for a round pattern.  

Turn the Screw counterclockwise (all 

the way open) to flatten the pattern.  

(See Figure C, next page.)
