What happens here

Familiarize yourself with the main controls of the Graco 695 airless sprayer. The on/off switch is located on the left-hand side of the unit. The pressure control knob adjusts the spraying pressure, with low pressure being all the way to the left and high pressure all the way to the right (clockwise). The prime knob is crucial for preparing the sprayer; when pushed down, it is in the 'prime' position (used to purge air), and when moved up to either side, it is in the 'spray' position (used for actual painting). The sprayer also features a 'Watchdog' function, which automatically shuts off the unit if it runs out of paint, preventing the pump from losing its prime and overheating. However, the operator mentions they typically keep this feature off and manually monitor paint levels.

Goal: Familiarize oneself with the sprayer's main controls and their functions.
