How To Use a Paint Sprayer.

What happens here

Begin by setting up your work area with two buckets: one for the paint supply (with the paint container inside to prevent spills) and another for discard or waste. Place the airless paint sprayer between these two buckets. The larger intake hose, known as the siphon tube, will go into the paint bucket. The smaller prime hose will go into the discard bucket. Ensure the sprayer is positioned stably between the buckets to prevent tipping.

Goal: Prepare the paint sprayer's intake and discard setup.
