Question

Accepted Answer

Important: The Meec Tools 011485 is a professional electric paint sprayer that must be purged before first use. The product has been factory tested with a preservative liquid that must be expelled before spraying your paint.

Step 1: Purging the preservative liquid

Ensure that the main switch is in the OFF position.
Place the end of the outlet hose into a suitable container.
Place the end of the suction hose into a grounded metal container partially filled with cleaning liquid (water for water-based paint, white spirit for oil-based paint).
Position the decompression lever vertically.
Press the manual valve several times to release the ball from the intake valve.
Turn the pressure adjustment knob to the lowest setting.
Set the switch to the start position. The pump starts and the liquid flows through the system.

Step 2: Installing parts and checking connections

Engage the trigger lock.
Assemble the nozzle by aligning the rubber seal and the metal seal in the nozzle guard with the nozzle itself.
Insert the nozzle as far as possible into the nozzle guard by turning while pushing down.
Turn the nozzle handle forward into the spray position.
Attach the nozzle with its guard to the sprayer and tighten the lock nut.
Wait about 1 minute, then check that all connections are tight. In case of leaks, decompress, tighten the connections, and repeat.
Turn the switch to OFF, point the sprayer into an empty container, and pull the trigger to completely purge the system.

Step 3: Preparing the material

Mix the paint according to the manufacturer's instructions.
If dilution is necessary, use a solvent with a flash point above 21 °C, compatible with your paint.
Filter the paint before use to remove particles and impurities.

Step 4: First spray

Pour the filtered paint into a container and immerse the end of the suction hose below the surface of the liquid.
Gradually turn the pressure adjustment knob to achieve the desired flow rate.
Start the movement of the sprayer, pull the trigger, continue the movement, then release the trigger while keeping the sprayer in motion.
Make regular and parallel passes with a 50% overlap between each pass for even coverage.

Essential safety instructions: Use the device only in a well-ventilated area, wear gloves and a protective mask, ensure that the power outlet is properly grounded (230V AC, 50 Hz), and read all safety labels on your paint before use.
