Important Electrical Information

Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug

nd a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product.

a Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a

rop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. A 14

d gauge or 12 gauge cord is recommended. If an extension cord is

P/N 0090241 20 foot extension cord. P/N 0090242 35 foot extension cord.

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER--Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having a green outer surface with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire and must be connected to the grounding pin.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.

. Make sure

HAZARD: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

May cause severe injury.

• Always remove turbine before cleaning.

• Power cord must be connected to a grounded circuit.

• Never submerge electrical parts.

• Never expose the equipment to rain. Store indoors.

Trigger. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The trigger controls the delivery of the fluid being pumped. The farther the trigger is pulled, the

more material will flow from the nozzle. DO NOT pull the trigger while the turbine is turned OFF (l) and if there is material in the hopper. This may cause material to flow into the turbine.

Spray nozzle. . . . . . . . . . . . . This unit is equipped with three different spray nozzles. The nozzles have different opening sizes

(large, medium, small) that determine the volume of material being sprayed. The bigger the opening, the more material will flow from the nozzle.

Hopper . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The hopper can rotate 180º to accomodate a higher spraying angle. The user’s free hand may also

be placed on the rear of the hopper for increased stability during usage.

Arm rest . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . The sprayer has been designed to rest comfortably on the user’s arm during usage.

Nozzle holder . . . . . . . . . . . . The nozzle holder can be threaded through the nozzles and then wrapped around the power cord

for easy stoage.

Product Description:

The Power Tex®is intended for use for the residential application of water-based textured materials to ceilings, walls, or other surfaces. The Power Tex®is an ideal tool for applying textured material to small areas or for repairing damaged sections of knockdown or acoustic texture surfaces.

Materials that can be sprayed:

This unit has been designed to be used with 1) aggregated materials such as simulated acoustic (“popcorn”) and 2) unaggregated materials such as diluted joint compound for knockdown recommendations and warnings when mixing and using textured materials.

and orange peel. Make sure to follow all the manufacturer’

Mixing the material:

When mixing the material you are going to spray, follow the manufacturer’s directions. It is very important that the material you use is properly mixed. The material should appear creamy, wet, and lump-free, similiar to pancake batter (refer to chart on

page 5 for variations). results, use an electric drill with a paint-mixer attachment when mixing the material. Make sure the material settles for 15 minutes before using and then mix again thoroughly. To ensure proper consistency, mix enough material to complete the job. Mixing separate batches for one job may give inconsistent results.

DO NOT mix the material inside the hopper. Use a separate container to mix the material. For best

Preparing the work area:

exture spraying creates a great deal of dust and overspray material. It is necessary that you cover with drop cloths anything you

T do not want sprayed (walls, windows, floors, furniture) and remove as many non-essential items from the room as possible. Make sure the work surface has also been properly prepared. completely dry surfaces may cause discoloration and adhesion problems.

Setup

1. Line up the “unlock” symbol on the turbine with the guide on the sprayer. Twist the two halves in opposite

irections until the “lock” symbol on the turbine lines up

d with the guide on the sprayer.

3. Attach desired nozzle by threading it onto the end of the sprayer.

2. While facing the rear of the sprayer/ turbine assembly, insert the hopper into the receptacle with the hopper

riented as shown. Depending on what surface you plan

o to spray, turn the hopper 1/4 turn in either direction to lock it in place.

4. Slowly fill the hopper with the material you plan to use. Be sure the sprayer/ turbine assembly is resting on a flat, stable surface that is covered by a drop cloth.

Plug the power cord into an extension cord. Plug the

5. extension cord into a grounded outlet. Turn the switch to

ON (l).

The turbine will start up and air will blow from the nozzle. No material will flow from the nozzle until the trigger is pulled.

Do not exceed fill point as shown.

*When using knockdown, let material dry for 10-15 minutes after application. Use a soft squeegee to “knock down” the material. Do not wait more than 30 minutes after application to knock down the material.

General Spraying Tips:

• The sprayer can feel heavy when full of spraying material. It is recommended that your free hand be placed at the rear of the opper for increased support during usage (see figure 1)

• Swivel hopper forward when spraying a ceiling; swivel hopper toward the rear when spraying a wall

• When spraying, try to keep the nozzle no farther than 2 feet away. When doing ceilings keep the sprayer between a 45º-65º

angle to the spraying surface

(see figure 3). You can adjust the spraying angle, nozzle size, and vary trigger activation to

achieve desired results.

• If spraying a large surface, use broad, sweeping, side-to-side strokes with continuous trigger activation for optimal coverage. It is

ecommended that the surface be sprayed in slightly overlapping, 3’ x 3’ sections. Spray each section in one direction, then spray

r at a perpendicular angle to complete the section.

The thickness of the spray material can be adjusted by adding small amounts of water or material.

•

• Texture spraying creates a great deal of dust and overspray material. It is recommended that you adequately cover anything you

do not want sprayed with drop cloths (walls, windows, floors, furniture) and remove as many non-essential items from the room as possible.

• The spray pattern can be adjusted by switching to a different nozzle. Before removing/changing nozzles, always turn the sprayer

OFF (O) and unplug the power cord.

• When repairing a small area, it is a good idea to scrape away any damaged material that may be around the affected area. Spray

an area slightly larger than the affected area to create a uniform look. Generally, when repairing a small area, the small nozzle should be used, and the trigger should be activated using light, intermittent pressure.

• All new surfaces should be covered with primer prior to texture spraying.

• Knockdown and orange-peel materials may need to be painted after application to create a final uniform color.

(see figure 2).

Refer to the chart below for assistance with all the variables involved in texture spraying. Texture spraying is not an exact science, and the variables below may need to be adjusted to meet your particular texture spraying needs.

5. With the lubricant included with your sprayer, lubricate the

O-ring on the hopper (a) and lubricate the outer edge of the plunger inside the rear of the sprayer housing Pull and release the trigger a few times to distribute the lubricant.

(b).

Some water may flow out the rear of the sprayer body.

After all components are clean, wipe down with a dry

cloth. Reassemble the sprayer/turbine. ON/OFF switch should be facing upward. Clean turbine labels with a damp cloth.
