Two speed control switch (fig. H) (BDPS600 only)
Your sprayer has two different speed settings.
To change speeds, press the speed control switch (9). An
u
LED indicates setting 1 or 2.
Set the flow control knob (8) to a lower or medium settting
u
(1-5) when on speed setting 1.
Set the flow control knob (8) to medium or higher setting
u
(5-9) when on speed setting 2.
Use the lower speed setting (Setting 1) to obtain greater con-
trol over your spraying project, while the higher speed (Setting
2) allows for greater coverage in a shorter amount of time.
The lower speed level allows you to get closer to your work
with less overspray. Low setting works well with lighter bodied
or more free flowing paints like stains and sealers.
More heavy bodied paints, like water based latex, will need
setting number 2
Use the speed control setting in conjuction with the flow
control knob and test for what works best with your material
being sprayed.
Flow control knob (fig. I)
The flow control knob regulates the amount of liquid that can
be sprayed.
Turn the flow control knob (8) clockwise to increase the
u
flow of liquid
Turn the flow control knob (8) counterclockwise to
u
decrease the flow of liquid.
Note : Always test the spray pattern on scrap cardboard
or similar material first. Begin with flow control knob on the
highest flow setting. If less flow is desired, dial the flow control
knob in. Heavier, thicker materials should be sprayed with the
higher settings 7 - 9. Thinner materials should be sprayed with
the lower settings 1 -3.
Note : If the flow control setting is set completely to the
minimum side, the trigger will have limited or no travel. Back
the flow control knob off (clockwise) to allow for more trigger
travel.
Direct to tin hose (fig. J & K) (BDPS600 only)
It is possible to use the BDPS600 with out the side fill canister.
When using the supplied 'direct to tin hose' you can take the
paint supply directly from the paint tin.
Remove the sidefill canister (6), pickup tube (19) and filter
u
(25).
Push the suction hose onto the intake (30) and return (29)
u
ports.
Pull the hose apart on the opposite end and slide the
u
larger hose (17) completely through the container clip
(18), then over the barbs (22) of the pickup tube (19).
Place the suction tube assembly into the material con-
u
tainer and attach the container clip securely to the side.
Check to make sure that complete assembly is submerged
in the material container.

Liquid material preparation (fig. L & M)
Note : Make sure the type of material you use can be cleaned
with either mineral spirits or paint thinner (for oil-based paints)
or a warm water and soap solution (for water soluble paints
like latex). Use drop cloths to protect your floors and anything
else in the spraying area that you wish to remain untouched.
The liquid being sprayed may need to be thinned (diluted)
before staring. When thinning, use the proper liquid thinner
recommended on the container by the material manufacturer.
Warning! Do not use materials with a flashpoint lower than
55°C.
Note : A mixing bucket (12) is provided (BDPS600 only)to use
when transferring spray material from the original container
into the bucket for thinning and measuring purposes (fig. L).
Note : A viscosity cup (13) is provided to determine the
"runout time" of the material being used.
Before measuring for the proper viscosity, stir the material
u
thoroughly.
Dip the viscosity cup (13) into the material being sprayed
u
and fill the viscosity cup (13) completely.
With the viscosity cup (13) held over the material con-
u
tainer, measure the amount of time it takes for the stream
of material flowing out to "break" or stop being a constant
stream out of the bottom of the viscosity cup (13) (2
minutes or less) (fig. M). This is the "runout time" Refer to
the thinning table for information on the thinning required
for different materials.
If material needs thinning, add the appropriate liquid thin-
u
ning material recommended by the manufacturer.
It is possible to spray latex paint with this unit, however
u
the paint may require thinning. In some cases the paint
may require thinning beyond the paint manufacturers
recommendations, please consult the paint manufacturers
instructions. If a paint is found to be too thick and will not
spray, thin the paint using the appropriate thinning mate-
rial. Thinning material should be added at a ratio of 5% of
the volume of paint until the paint flows through the paint
gun providing an even and satisfactory finish.
