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.

W

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. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.

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

recommendations and warnings when mixing and using textured materials.

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

Preparing the work area:

Texture spraying creates a great deal of dust and overspray material. It is necessary that you cover with drop cloths anything you 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. Application over unsealed, stained, improperly prepared, or not 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 directions until the “lock” symbol on the turbine lines up with the guide on the sprayer.

2.While facing the rear of the sprayer/ turbine assembly, insert the hopper into the receptacle with the hopper oriented as shown. Depending on what surface you plan to spray, turn the hopper 1/4 turn in either direction to lock it in place.

W

Ceilings

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

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.

Do not exceed fill point as shown.

5.Plug the power cord into an extension cord. Plug the

extension cord into a grounded outlet. Turn the switch to

ON (l).

6.Place the arm rest over your forearm. Aim the sprayer at a scrap piece of wood or cardboard to test the spray pattern.

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

Texture Spraying

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 hopper for increased support during usage (see figure 1).

Swivel hopper forward when spraying a ceiling; swivel hopper toward the rear when spraying a wall (see figure 2).

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

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.

Cleanup

1.Turn the switch OFF (O) and unplug the power cord. Make sure the hopper is empty of spraying material. Pour any leftover material into a separate container. Remove the hopper when empty.

DO NOT attempt to remove the hopper from the sprayer if it is full of material.

2.Unlock turbine from sprayer by turning the two halves in opposite directions. The “unlock” symbol on the turbine should come toward the guide on the sprayer. Set turbine aside in a dry area.

3. Remove nozzle from the sprayer.

4.The nozzle, sprayer and the hopper can now be handcleaned using warm, soapy water and the cleaning brush provided with the unit. Let faucet water run into the area where the hopper connects to the sprayer. While the water

is running, activate the trigger to fully clean the nozzle area

. DO NOT sumberge the turbine. The outside of the turbine can be wiped clean with a damp cloth.

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

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 (b). Pull and release the trigger a few times to distribute the lubricant.

6.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.
