How do I operate airless paint sprayers?
PreparationCover all surfaces that you’re not painting. Airless paint sprayers are fast but not precise. Mask off windows, fixtures and fittings thoroughly. Use drop cloths to protect floors, and, while painting, you may expect some paint to get on your clothes as well.SafetyLeave at least one window open for ventilation. Use masks and protective eye wear when using a sprayer. Airless paint sprayers are high pressure devices. They are powerful enough to cut the skin or inject paint under the skin. Never point the sprayer at yourself or anyone else. Before painting, take the time to read the instruction manual, especially if the sprayer is a rental or otherwise unfamiliar.Painting TechniqueHold the sprayer perpendicular to the wall, about 12 inches away. Apply the paint in a sweeping motion, moving the whole arm from side to side. Do not move the sprayer out of this perpendicular position. Turning the sprayer will result in an uneven coat.
