100 and 120 Paint Sprayer Operating Instructions

SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Appropriate breathing protection, eye protection, gloves and clothing should be used.
2. Begin spraying, adjust the control knob to get the best spray pattern, continue to spray on newspaper
or cardboard.
A pattern with heavy spray in center, means the pressure is too low (Figure F1). Adjust the control knob
by turning counterclockwise to increase pressure. The paint should be evenly spread over the surface.
See Figure F2.
3. If the spray pattern is not correct, change the nozzle.
4. If the spray pattern is still not correct, disassemble the spray nozzle and inspect the atomizer valve
assembly. If the valve is excessively worn, (normally scratch marks around the outside) replace the
atomizer valve assembly.
5. If the spray pattern is still not correct, a thorough cleaning of the nozzle, atomizer valve assembly,
and pump assembly may be required. Cleaning every 5-9 gallons of paint may be necessary for
correct spraying. After cleaning, reassemble the parts.
6. Hold the sprayer 10-12 inches from the surface to be stained. Keep the sprayer parallel to the
ground without pointing it up or down. See Figure G.
NOTE:
• TILTING THE AIRLESS SPRAYER IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
• TO AVOID RUNS AND SAGS DO NOT SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN WHILE MOVING THE SPRAYER.
7. Overlap each stoke about 1/3 of the spray pattern.
8. To spray inside corners, spray the adjoining walls or surface first. The over spray will paint the
corner.
9. When you spray an outside corner, point the nozzle of the sprayer in towards the surface. This will
prevent paint from being sprayed past the corner and onto surfaces you do not want painted.
Caution: Do not twist electrical cord, make sure heavy objects are not placed on electrical cord. Keep
electrical cord away from heat and sharp objects. Make sure cord is not in a traffic area to avoid
tripping of persons. Do not use if cord is damaged.
IMPORTANT
Should a low humming sound and/or irregular spray pattern occur while spraying, immediately
remove plug from electrical source and thoroughly clean. This will prevent the motor from overheating
and causing damage to the sprayer. (See cleaning instructions).
Note:
• If you stop spraying for 30 minutes or longer, retest the spray pattern by spraying on newspaper or
cardboard. If you are unable to adjust the spray pattern properly, there is a possibility that the paint
has started to dry. If this happens, it is time to clean the sprayer. (See cleaning instructions).
• Keep vent in pump housing clean. If paint should dry and clog hole, your sprayer will not function
properly.
USING THE SUCTION TUBE KIT WITH THE PAINT SPRAYER 100/120
1. Remove the container and pick up tube with filter from the sprayer.
2. Slide dual tubing onto the two open cylinder ports on the sprayer.
3. Insert pick up tube with filter into other end of dual tubing making sure pick up tube is opposite the
longest open cylinder port. See Figure H.
4. Immerse tube into material and secure to side of container using the retainer clamp.
Note: To reduce the time the sprayer runs without material, hold the sprayer below the fluid level when
priming the sprayer, this will speed up the time the material is drawn through the tube. The materials
may need additional thinning if the sprayer will not prime.
Note: Normal priming time is 1 minute for material to travel from container to sprayer. If it takes longer
than 2 minutes stop and clean sprayer.
Cleaning the Suction Tube
1. To clean your sprayer run water or solvent through the suction tube until clear.
2. Disassemble the fittings at both ends of the suction tube before any remaining material can dry.
3. Thoroughly clean the adapter fitting, pick up tube and filter.
