Familiarize with Sprayer Components

This is Chris, the Idaho painter. In this video, we're going to show you how to operate an airless sprayer. And I got an airless sprayer right here. This is a small airless sprayer. It's a Titan 440 impact. And you either can go get an airless sprayer by renting one at a tool store or a paint store, or you can just go purchase your own. I'm going to identify some of the main feature features on this airless sprayer and what they do and how to go about actually using this thing. And so, to start off with, I got this airless sprayer sitting here. And every airless sprayer is going to have on it an onoff uh switch. And so you want to identify the onoff switch and make sure that thing is in the off position before you begin doing anything with it. This Titan right here has an onoff switch right there that turns the unit on and makes it so it's functionable. This is an electric airless. There's also gas airless wares, but we won't be talking about the gas right now, just electric. You're also going to have some type of knob that controls the pressure right here. And this is the pressure control knob. And that's what actually controls the pressure coming out of your gun right here. And I've got my cord. This is what I actually plug the unit into. Also, every airless sprayer is going to have some type of manifold filter on it that actually filters the paint. This one here is a pretty convenient manifold filter that actually unscrews without any tools. You can just unscrew it right here and it's got a filter that filters the paint. And you want to clean that thing pretty much every time you use it. When you're done operating the machine, take that filter off and clean that
