QUICK START
Spray Station
V0112 01/10
• Never spray outside if the weather is raining,
windy, or in temperatures of +90˚F or less than
45˚F, as this may affect the paint and potentially
ruin your finish.
• Always have a drop cloth and wear a mask like
you would for a roller or brush if spraying inside.
• Spend a few minutes getting the viscosity of the
paint where it needs to be.
• Practice your technique (even if you have
sprayed before), just to familiarize yourself with
the coating and different spray patterns and
flow rate of the gun.
• Always clean up your spray gun after every
use.
PLEASE READ MAIN INSTRUCTION
MANUAL BEFORE USE
Basic Rules of Spraying
Follow these simple instructions
to set-up your Spray Station:
a)Important - always stir the paint
thoroughly and then test the
viscosity of the paint. Many
materials do not need thinning.
However, if required refer to the
thinning section in the main
instruction manual.
b)Strain the paint while pouring into the paint
container using hosiery or cheese cloth.
ALWAYS KEEP THE TURBINE AS FAR
AWAY FROM THE SPRAYING AREA
AS POSSIBLE TO PREVENT PAINT
CONTAMINATING THE MOTOR.
f) Set the spray gun to horizontal, vertical or round
pattern using the spray direction plate.
g) Turn on and test spraying on a piece of
cardboard or an inconspicuous area to get the
feel of the spray gun and to familarize yourself
with the spray patterns and
paint flow rate.
h) Gradually turn the paint flow
adjuster until the right volume
of paint is flowing through the
spray gun.
i) Never spray with your wrist, use
your arm and always try to keep the same
distance away from the surface. 10”-12” is
recommended.
j) Move your arm relative to the flow rate of the
paint. You will immediately see if you have too
little or too much coating on a surface. If too
little, increase flow rate or slow down your arm
movement, if too much, reduce flow rate or
increase the speed of your arm movement.
k) Try to overlap coats on flat surfaces such as
walls or ceilings. When you are using a latex try
using a cross hatch technique (left to right and
up and down). If you develop
a good technique you should
only have to do one coat.
l) HVLP technology will ensure
the paint dries much faster
than if you applied with a
brush or roller so you can apply
a second coat if necessary much sooner.
m)Once you have completed your painting empty
the remaining paint back into
the paint can, clean the paint
container, paint container seal,
and the pick-up tube. Pour ½
quart of water or mineral spirit
(if oil-based) into the paint
container and spray for
30-40 seconds or until the spray is clear.
n) Wipe the needle, fluid tip
and air cap clean. Remove
the needle if necessary and
wipe clean.(using the needle
tool provided).
Let go of the Trigger at the
end of each spray
movement to avoid
excessive paint and drips

connect up to the turbine.
