Before You Begin - WAGNER PAINTMATE PLUS Manual

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

It is a good idea to have drop cloths protecting your floors and
anything else in the room that you do not want accidentally
splattered with paint.
NOTE: Make sure the type of paint you use can be
cleaned with either mineral spirits (for oil-
based paints) or a warm water and soap
solution (for latex paints).
CAUTION
Some oil-based paints require a stronger cleaning solution
than mineral spirits and should not be used with the
®
PaintMate Plus. Using a cleaning solution stronger than
mineral spirits may cause damage to the PaintMate® Plus.
Check with your paint supplier to be sure the oil-based
paint you have can be cleaned with mineral spirits.
ASSEMBLING THE PAINTMATE
1. Assemble core, roller cover and cap. Then attach
assembly to the arm, making sure the roller assembly
snaps into the locking tab.
