Spraying

Spraying Procedure

NOTE: Ensure the Airless Spray Station has been properly primed BEFORE Commencing spraying operations. Refer to "Priming the Pump" instructions.

1. Ensure the Spray Tip (5) is rotated forward to the spray position with the arrow on the tip facing forward (Fig.7a).
   
2. Perform "Pressure Relief Procedure" section.
3. Turn ON the machine by pressing "I" on the On/Off Switch (13) (Fig.7b).
   
4. Unlock the Spray Gun Trigger (3) (Fig.7c).
   
5. Set the Prime/Spray Switch (11) to "SPRAY" position (Fig.7d).
   
6. Stand about 30cm away from area to be sprayed and maintain this distance (Fig.7e).
   
   Pull the spray gun Trigger (3) to start spraying.

NOTE: The motor will cycle ON and OFF while spraying to regulate pressure. This is normal.

IMPORTANT! When finished spraying, perform Pressure Relief Procedure found on page 13.

IMPORTANT! If you have not finished painting with your airless sprayer and want to take a short break (30-60 minutes), do not leave paint sitting inside the pump. Follow the cleaning instructions on pages 24-26 to prevent paint from drying inside the pump and hose.

Once you're ready to begin work again, simply follow the Spraying Procedures on page 20-21. Once properly primed again, aim the spray gun into a waste bucket and allow 30 seconds for any leftover cleaning solution to be flushed out of the system. Then resume painting as normal.

IMPORTANT! Mineral Turpentine SHOULD NOT be mixed with water at any stage during the cleaning process.

Test Spray Settings

NOTE: Ensure you follow the "Spraying Procedure" instructions on pages 20-21 before testing the spraying settings of the Airless Spray Station.

Aligning Spray:

1. Follow the "Pressure Relief Procedure" instructions on page 18.
2. Rotate the Nozzle Guard (4) to match the direction of the preferred spray pattern (Fig.8).
   

Spraying Technique

1. Move the Spray Gun (6) with the entire arm, not by flexing the wrist. This will keep the Spray Gun (6) at right angles to the surface, keeping the pattern even (Fig.9a).
   
2. Pull the spray gun Trigger (3) after starting the stroke, and release the Trigger (3) before ending the stroke. The Spray Gun (6) should be moving when the Trigger (3) is pulled and released (Fig.9b).
   
3. Keep the Spray Gun (6) perpendicular to the surface, so spray distance is consistent (Fig.9c).
   
4. Overlap your strokes by 30% to ensure even coverage (Fig.9d).
   

HINTS:

• Do not spray outdoors on a windy day as the results may be unsatisfactory.
• Only apply one coat at a time, always allow a coat to completely dry before adding another coat.
• Avoid stopping and starting as this can lead to a patchy finish. It is best to start spraying outside the surface to be sprayed and avoid stopping in the middle of the surface, continue just past the opposite edge.

Cleaning

Select Cleaning Solution

For WATER-BASED material (e.g. acrylic paint):

• Use ONLY water when performing the cleaning procedure.
• WARNING! Use of a solvent-based cleaning materials on water-based paints will result in a new substance that will be extremely difficult to clean.
