4. Configuración

4.1 Attaching a Cordless Drill

The TrueCoat 360 Cordless Connect is designed to be powered by your own cordless drill/driver or impact driver. Ensure your drill has a minimum speed of 1400 RPM for optimal performance.

Figure 4: The sprayer is compatible with 1/4" drill/drivers and 1/4" impact drivers. A minimum of 1400 RPM is required.

Figure 5: Choose a drill/driver for slower speeds and more control, or an impact driver for larger projects and faster pace.

1. Align the sprayer's drive shaft with the chuck of your cordless drill.
2. Securely tighten the drill chuck around the drive shaft.
3. Ensure the connection is firm to prevent slippage during operation.

4.2 Preparing Paint or Stain

The TrueCoat 360 is designed to spray unthinned paint or stain. However, it is crucial to always consult the paint or stain manufacturer's instructions and recommendations for thinning, especially for thicker materials. Some paints, despite general claims, may require thinning for optimal performance and to prevent damage to the sprayer. Use the Easy Fill Funnel and Strainer System to strain your material, preventing clogs.

4.3 Filling the FlexLiner Bag

1. Insert a new 32-ounce FlexLiner bag into the paint cup.
2. Pour your prepared paint or stain into the FlexLiner bag. Do not overfill.

4. Activate your drill to run the sprayer until a steady stream of material flows from the tip opening, indicating all air has been purged.
