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.

Do not try to unclog a nozzle while it's running.

Wear a respirator/mask.
