Preparation before operating:
• Thoroughly mix the material, adding thinners as indicated by a paint
manufacturer or as desired. If the material appears too thick, add a little more
thinner. Always test and set your spray pattern on a piece of scrap material
prior to applying to your work piece or job surface. Be sure the material you
spraying is clean and free from lumps.
• Attach an air hose to the spray gun handle via the fitting. Make sure there are
no air leaks.
• Fill the cup 3/4 full. Screw cup onto the spray gun and make sure it is sealed well.
• When spraying it is important to have your compressor in a well ventilated
area away from where you are spraying to avoid damage to the compressor.
This damage can be caused by blocked filters due to overspray being drawn
into the filter.
When filling or refilling the material, disconnect your gun from the
air supply to avoid accidental spillage or spraying.
(for best results you should incorporate
an air regulator with filter as illustrated below).
• Connect the gun to the air supply and make sure the air pressure does not
exceed 30 PSI.
• Keep the gun at the right angles to your work. Keep the spray gun parallel to
the work surface at a distance of about 6” to 12”. Refer to illustration below:
Cluttered areas invite injuries. Avoid any ignition
sources, such as smoking, open flames and similar hazards.
Do not use machines or power
tools in damp or wet locations. Do not expose to rain. Keep work area well
lighted.
Children should not be allowed in the work area. Do
not let them handle machines, tools or extension cords.
When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry
location to inhibit rust or corrosion. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach
of children.
Always use the tool for the specific
purpose it was intended.
Always wear the appropriate clothing suited to the painting
application.
Always wear appropriate eye protection when
operating a spray gun.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not
reach over or across running machines.
Watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not
operate any tools when you are tired.
Before using any tool, any part that appears
damaged should be carefully checked to determine if it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Any part that is damaged should be replaced.
When servicing, use only
identical replacement parts.
Read warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgement or
reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the
tool.
