RESULTS FROM YOUR EARLEX SPRAYSTATION

5021 PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE USE.
Selecting Spray Material
Preparation of the surface and thinning of the paint are the two most important areas to be concerned
with to obtain the best results from your Earlex SprayStation
®
5021. Ensure all surfaces are free from
dust, dirt, rust and grease. If necessary, rub down with sandpaper or similar. Masking of areas is
important to ensure you do not spray those areas you wish to remain untouched.
Surface and Job Preparation
Fill the Paint Container (16) with the material to be sprayed. Take care not to overfill. Thin if required.
Take the spray gun unit and attach to the paint container by twisting anticlockwise to lock. Ensure the
paint container is secure. Place the motor unit onto a clean and level floor space, free from any loose
debris, liquids or dust sheets that could block the motor inlet. Uncoil the Air Hose (21) and attach it to
the back of the spray gun and the other end to the Earlex SprayStation
®
5021. Uncoil the power cord
from the base of the unit and plug in.
ALWAYS KEEP THE MOTOR UNIT AS FAR AWAY FROM THE SPRAYING AREA AS POSSIBLE TO
PREVENT PAINT CONTAMINATING THE MOTOR. MASK ANY AREA YOU DO NOT WISH TO
SPRAY.
Once you have set up and are ready to spray, switch on the unit. No paint will be sprayed from the gun
until the Trigger (19) on the spray gun is pulled. Before starting any work on spraying actual objects we
suggest you spend time practicing on cardboard or newspaper until you have got used to how the gun
works.
