How To Use a Paint Sprayer.

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Begin by arranging your workspace. Position two buckets on the ground: one to hold the paint can securely, preventing it from being knocked over, and a second empty bucket to serve as a discard receptacle during the priming process. Identify the sprayer's large intake hose, known as the siphon hose, and insert it into the paint can. Locate the smaller prime hose, which is used to circulate fluid back to the bucket or to purge air, and ensure it is positioned to discharge into the discard bucket. This initial setup is crucial for a clean and efficient priming process.

Goal: Set up two buckets: one for the paint can to prevent spills and one as a discard bucket for priming. Connect the large siphon hose (intake) and the smaller prime hose to the paint sprayer.
