CLEANING SPRAY GUN
Immediately after the work is finished, flush the gun out
with a solvent. Brush pins with solvent and oil them
lightly so they will not collect dried paint.
CLEANING FILTER IN GUN HANDLE
To clean the filter, use a brush dipped in an appropri-
ate solvent. Change or clean filters at least once a day.
Some types of latex may require a filter change after
four hours of operation.
