TIP:

The sprayer should be triggered at the

beginning of the stroke and released at the

end of the stroke. This will save stain, avoid

paint buildup at the end of the stroke, and

prevent premature failure of the piston.

Proper way to trigger the sprayer

Keep stroke

even

Start stroke

Pull trigger

Move steadily

CAUTION

Never tip the sprayer at more than a 45° angle. Material

could get into the motor housing and damage the sprayer.

OVERSPRAY

Some sprayed materials create a cloud of paint. Some of that

cloud will spray past your intended object and also bounce off of

it. Wind and air currents may cause this cloud to drift onto

surfaces not intended to be sprayed. You can control the

amount of overspray and bounce-back by adjusting your flow

and moving the sprayer closer to the work piece, but always

make sure that you have a good spray pattern. Always test

your pattern on a scrap piece of wood or cardboard, and make

sure that you have drop cloths protecting anything not being

sprayed. Anything you don't want painted that is in the area of

your spraying surface should be covered or removed.

CLEANUP

IMPORTANT!

The most important thing to know about your sprayer is

proper cleanup and maintenance. Dried materials act like

glue and cause moving pieces to stick. Taking the time to

properly clean and maintain your sprayer helps it last

longer and work right every time.

IMPORTANT!

It is also very important to use the correct cleaning solution

when cleaning your sprayer.

• When spraying with latex materials, use lukewarm,

soapy water when cleaning your sprayer and

components (DO NO USE HOT WATER!).

• When spraying with any material such as stains, use

the type of solution recommended by the material's

manufacturer on the original container.

WARNING

Never immerse electrical parts in water or any other liquid.

Wipe the exterior of the sprayer with a damp cloth for

cleaning. Always make sure the sprayer is unplugged

before taking it apart for cleaning.
