The Power Tex is intended for use for the residential application
of water-based textured materials to ceilings, walls, or other
surfaces. The Power Tex is an ideal tool for applying textured
material to small areas or for repairing damaged sections of
knockdown or acoustic texture surfaces.
MAterIAlS thAt CAN Be SprAYeD
This unit has been designed to be used with 1) aggregated
materials such as simulated acoustic ("popcorn") and 2)
unaggregated materials such as diluted joint compound for
knockdown and orange peel. Make sure to follow all the
manufacturer's recommendations and warnings when mixing
and using textured materials.
MIxING the MAterIAl
When mixing the material you are going to spray, follow the
manufacturer's directions. It is very important that the material
you use is properly mixed. The material should appear creamy,
wet, and lump-free, similiar to pancake batter (refer to chart
on page 5 for variations). DO NOT mix the material inside the
hopper. Use a separate container to mix the material. For
best results, use an electric drill with a paint-mixer attachment
when mixing the material. Make sure the material settles for
15 minutes before using and then mix again thoroughly. To
ensure proper consistency, mix enough material to complete
the job. Mixing separate batches for one job may give
inconsistent results.

CoMpoNeNtS
oN/oFF SwItCh:
The ON/OFF switch turns power to sprayer on
and off (O=OFF, |=ON)
tUrBINe:
The turbine provides air flow that delivers the
material from the sprayer.
loCk N Go:
This sprayer has been designed with Lock N Go™
technology, allowing for easy cleanup.
trIGGer:
The trigger controls the delivery of the fluid being
pumped. The farther the trigger is pulled, the more material
will flow from the nozzle.
DO NOT pull the trigger while the turbine is turned OFF (l) and if
there is material in the hopper. This may cause material to leak
into the turbine.
SprAY Nozzle:
This unit is equipped with three different spray
nozzles. The nozzles have different opening sizes (large,
medium, small) that determine the volume of material being
sprayed.
The bigger the opening, the more material will flow from the
nozzle.
hopper:
The hopper can rotate 180º to accomodate a higher
spraying angle. The user's free hand may also be placed on
the rear of the hopper for increased stability during usage.
ArM reSt:
The sprayer has been designed to rest comfortably
on the user's arm during usage.
Nozzle holDer:
The nozzle holder can be threaded through
the nozzles and then wrapped around the power cord for easy
storage.
