Before you Begin
This page contains information that is necessary
in order to operate the sprayer properly.
Material Preparation:
• It is important to mix the material thoroughly
before you begin. Do not shake the material
to mix it. Always stir the material gently but
thoroughly before use.
• Remove any skin that has formed on the top
of the material. Do not mix the skin into the
material. The skin can break up and clog
the sprayer. Older materials may need to be
strained.
Thinning the Material:
• Always test spraying without thinning the
material as thinning is not typically required.
• If you are spraying with a material that
needs to be thinned, make sure to follow the
manufacturer’s recommendations.
Material That Can Be Sprayed:
• Make sure the type of material you use can be
cleaned with either mineral spirits (for oil-based
paints) or a warm water and soap solution (for
latex paints).
Determining Job Size:
The size of your spray job will determine how the
spray gun is set up. The spray gun can operate in
three different modes:
1) cup mode for small to medium jobs (see page 6)
2) remote suction hose mode for medium to
large jobs (if equipped, see page 7)
3) backpack mode for large jobs that require
increased mobility (if equipped, see page 8)
Overspray:
Some sprayed materials create a cloud of paint.
Some of that cloud will spray past your intended
object and also bounce off of it. Wind and air
currents may cause this cloud to drift onto surfaces
not intended to be sprayed. You can control the
amount of overspray and bounce-back by adjusting
your spray controls and moving the sprayer closer to
the work piece, but always make sure that you have
a good spray pattern. Always test your pattern on
a scrap piece of wood or cardboard, and make sure
that you have drop cloths protecting anything not
being sprayed.
anything you don’t want painted that is in the
area of your spraying surface should be covered
or removed.
Drop Cloths:
Be sure to protect your floors and furnishings with
drop cloths or other coverings during spraying and
cleanup.
Spray Tip:
The spray tip included with your Power Painter
comes equipped with Optimus™ dual-orifice
technology. It is ideal for spraying both water-
based and oil-based paints and stains. The
Optimus™ spray tip eliminates the need to have
different spray tips for different spray materials.
