Spray Pattern - Earlex Pro-8 Operating Instructions Manual

THINNING
Thinning is very important when spraying. Most paints are supplied ready for brush application and may need to
be thinned (diluted) for spraying purposes. Follow the manufacturers guide for thinning in conjunction with a
spray gun. If in doubt contact the manufacturers of the paint. Paint is "thinned" by adding the substance which
the paint is based upon. If a water-based paint then water is added, if oil-based then white spirit.
As some paints, wood preservatives and other sprayable materials contain particles that have grainy material,
please ensure that when filling the paint container of the spray gun, that the paint is filtered through either a funnel
with a filter on it or through nylon tights or stockings. This will ensure that no large particles enter the paint container,
so preventing blockages and providing you with trouble-free spraying. We recommend that a face mask, gloves
and goggles are worn at all times when spraying.
VERY IMPORTANT: When spraying for the first time, we recommend you run the motor for 1 to 2
minutes before applying the product. Do not forget that the Fluid Control Adjuster (20/24) controls the volume of
paint sprayed, for instance the more the Fluid Control Adjuster is tightened the less paint is sprayed.

SPRAY PATTERN

360° SPRAY PATTERN ROTATION
The 360° rotating air cap at the front of the gun allows complete flexibility in spray angle from horizontal to
vertical and everything in between. This is especially useful when working in confined spaces or spraying
on odd shaped substrates.
