OPERATION
To create an even coating over the entire surface:
• Move your arm at a steady rate of speed and make
sure to move your entire arm, not just your wrist.
• Keep the sprayer an even distance from the area
being sprayed, which should be between 8 to 10
inches from the tip of the sprayer to the surface
being sprayed.
• Depress the trigger to begin the spray off the
material you want to paint. Operate the sprayer in
straight horizontal or vertical strokes across the
surface being painted, then release the trigger off
the material to end the stroke.
NOTE: For spray quality consistency when using thinner
paints, it may be necessary to keep the trigger depressed
between strokes.
When finished, unplug the sprayer, return any unused
paint or stain to its original container, and thoroughly
clean the sprayer.
CAUTION:
It is important to thoroughly clean the sprayer after each
use or when changing colors. Allowing paint or stain to
remain in an idle tool for an extended period can cause
its moving pieces to seize up.
WARNING:
Do not clean with any flammable liquids such as paint
stripper, paint remover, brush cleaner, mineral spirits,
lacquer thinner, turpentine, acetone, gasoline, kerosene,
etc.
CLEANING THE SPRAYER AFTER USE
The solution used to clean the sprayer is determined by
the type of material that has been sprayed. For anything
other than latex material, follow the material manufacturer’s
directions for appropriate clean-up.
To clean the sprayer for short term storage:
Unplug the sprayer.
If you haven’t already done so, remove the paint container
and return any unused paint or stain to its original
container.
Fill the paint container with lukewarm water (for water
based paints) or non-flammable solvent (for oil-based
paints or varnish, or any other non-flammable paint
thinner (following the use of oil-based products).
Reinstall the paint container.
Plug in the sprayer.
Spray the solution onto a piece of cardboard or other
scrap material. Continue spraying until all the solution is
used.
Unplug the sprayer.
Place a line of lubricant on the piston. To gain access to
the piston, follow the instructions in Cleaning the Sprayer
for Storage in the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the sprayer. The
unit is now ready to put away.
