2] Protect areas near the area that you are painting.
3] Spraying puts a lot of fine paint droplets into the air, so cover everything in the area that you don’t want to get paint on.
4] Seal the area if you're working inside. Do not use the sprayer outside on a windy day.
5] Pour paint in a bucket through a strainer to ensure that there are no lumps or any bits
of non-paint material.
6] Thin the paint (if required) as per the manufacturer's instructions.
7] Cover yourself very well; wear long-sleeved shirts and gloves.
8] Start at a corner, work from the top down and keep your strokes steady and smooth.
Remember that it is better to paint several light coats than one heavy one.
Tips:
There are basically three kinds of sprayers : compressed air, airless, and electric pump available in the market. Get instructions specific to your machine from the dealer, as paint sprayers can be difficult to operate.
The nozzles of the sprayer are prone to clogging, so you have to know how clear them properly. Make sure the equipment is clean. If you are using latex paint, make sure your sprayer is compatible or you may ruin the appliance.
Safety Tips:
If you are painting in a room with appliances such as water heaters, air conditioners, or furnaces, turn them all off! Don’t hold the spray gun close to your body - it may harm you.
Do not try to unclog a nozzle while it's running.
Wear a respirator/mask.
Be sure that children are not present in the room.
Wear goggles for eye protection.
