What happens here

Prior to commencing spraying, ensure personal safety by wearing appropriate protective equipment. Don a respirator to prevent inhalation of paint fumes and fine paint particles. Put on gloves to protect your hands from paint. Inspect the paint sprayer, ensuring it's properly assembled, the tip is clean, and the paint is adequately mixed and thinned according to the manufacturer's recommendations for spraying. Perform a quick test spray on a piece of cardboard or an inconspicuous area to check the spray pattern and adjust as necessary.

Goal: Ensure safety and readiness for paint application.
