How To Use; Thinning Materials - Earlex Super Finish Max Mode D'emploi

HOW TO USE

The Super Finish Max allows you the ultimate control for your spray pattern. With this unit you can change the spray tip set to adjust
the flow of material. You can also select a fine or wide air cap nozzle that also controls the flow of material for the sprayer. Dial in
the actual spray pattern by adjusting the flow control knob on the unit either + or – to your desired width. This allows you to use this
sprayer for small detailed craft projects, furniture or large fences and decks.
The sprayer comes with a 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm and 4.0 mm spray tip set. The spray tip sets are changeable with the wrench tool, simply
turn the tip counterclockwise to loosen the tip. Then use the other end of the tool to loosen the tip. Place the desired pin on the
needle and then tighten or snug with included wrench tool. Then place the matching (tips and pins are color coded) spray tip on and
tighten with the tool. The sprayer comes with the 2.0 mm spray tip set installed and fine air cap.
Yellow Air Cap Nozzle = Wide spray pattern and is used for high production projects like large decks and fences.
Black Air Cap Nozzle = Fine spray pattern and is used for furniture, cabinets and anything requiring a fine finish.

THINNING MATERIALS

In order for your sprayer to operate properly it is important to make sure the stain or
paint is thin enough to be sprayed. Thinning should be followed per the stain or paint
manufacturer's guidelines. Because materials differ from brand to brand, this guide
can offer only general information. Always follow the coverage rate recommended by
the manufacturer regardless of the thinning required. Because there is a variance in
viscosity between paint and stain brands, it might be necessary to thin 5 to 15 percent
to achieve optimum spray pattern.
NOTES:
•
Be sure pick-up tube is inserted tightly into the intake port.
•
Thin material according to the procedure outlined above.
•
Before each use, check the Brass Fluid Nozzle and Brass Fluid Needle for dried
paint. Keep Brass Fluid Needle clean.
•
Always thoroughly clean the sprayer after each use.
(See CLEAN UP AND MAINTENANCE, page 8.)
•
Turn control knob counterclockwise for less flow — see Page 6 Step 7 for more detail.
•
Strain old paint or stain before using.
•
Slowly stir paint or stain. To prevent air bubbles, do not shake stain or paint.
