OPERATING THE SPRAYER
See Figures 6 - 9, page iL
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.
Ensure surface to be painted is free of dust, dirt, and
grease.
Mask or cover any areas not intended to be painted or
stained. Be aware of wind that may cause your paint
or stain to spray into areas not desired. Always use
drop cloths or other cover to protect areas that are not
intended to be painted or stained.
Fill the quickqock container with no more than 1 quart
of desired paint or stain.
NOTE: After every 4 refills of the quickqock container,
add a line of lubricant to the piston. See Cleaning the
Sprayer for Storage for instructions on disassembling
the sprayer to gain access to the piston.
Select the proper spray tip for desired spray pattern.
Install the battery pack in the sprayer.
Pull the switch trigger to spray paint. Release the
switch trigger to stop paint spray.
Practice spraying on a piece of scrap material to test
your spray pattern and to prime the pump before
beginning. If you do not get a preferred spray pattern
with an even amount of paint or stain throughout,
paint may be thinned as desired. Refer to the
Troubleshooting section later in this manual.
NOTE: The pump must be primed after every paint
change and at first use after storing. Spray paint at a
scrap surface for at least 20 seconds to prime.
To create an even coating over the entire surface:
o 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 18 to 20
inches from the tip of the sprayer to the surface
being sprayed.
Depress the trigger to begin the spray off the mate-
rial you want to paint. Operate the sprayer in straight
horizontal or vertical strokes across the surface
being painted, then release the trigger off the mate-
rial to end the stroke.
NOTE: For spray quality consistency when using
thinner paints, it may be necessary to keep the trig-
ger depressed between strokes.
When finished, remove the battery pack, return any
unused paint or stain to its original container, and
thoroughly clean the sprayer.
CAUllON: 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.
_ WAF{NING: 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:
Remove the battery pack from 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 (following
the use of latex products) or any non-flammable paint
thinner (following the use of oiPbased products).
Reinstall the paint container.
Install the battery pack in the sprayer.
Spray the solution onto a piece of cardboard or other scrap
material. Continue spraying until all the solution is used.
Remove the battery pack from 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.
