Selecting The Proper Tip; Before You Begin - WAGNER WideShot Owner's Manual

Important - Before You Begin

Selecting the Proper Tip:

It is important that you use the proper spray tip based on your type of spraying job and the type of material you plan to spray..
Read below for details.
Wide Angle Tip (Wide Shot™)
The wide angle tip produces a wide pattern that can be adjusted
horizontally or vertically.
To adjust:
1. Make sure the sprayer is unplugged. Loosen the wide angle
tip by turning the tip counterclockwise 1/4 turn.
2. Turn the adjusting arm so that it is pointing down for a
horizontal pattern (a). Turn the adjusting arm so that it is
pointing to the side for a vertical pattern (b).

3. Tighten the tip firmly by hand.
IMPORTANT -
Make sure to tighten all spray tips firmly by hand. If the spray tip is not tightened firmly enough, the sprayer could
leak or the tip could be damaged. Do not use a tool to tighten the spray tip. If the tip is too tight, it may be damaged.
Important Preparation Tips:
• It is important to mix the material thoroughly before you begin. Do not shake the material to mix it. Always stir the material
gently but thoroughly before use.
• Remove any skin that has formed on the top of the material. Do not mix the skin into the material. The skin can break up
and clog the sprayer. Older paint may need to be strained.
• The swirl valve that comes with your sprayer has a clear base. It is to be used with latex and oil-based paints only.
• If you will be spraying lacquers, make sure to use the optional swirl valve designed for lacquers, available for purchase by
calling our toll free number. It has a gray base (look in
English
The round tip produces a round pattern. Use a round tip if the
surface you are spraying is too small for use with the wide angle tip.
A round tip is an option included with some models and is available
at your local retailer. Use the size that works best for the type of
material you are spraying. The color of the tip center indicates its
size:
1. Blue (light materials) - .023 inch (0.6mm) opening. This
size works best for oil-based materials.
2. Pink (medium materials) - .031 inch (0.8mm) opening. This
all purpose size works best for latex materials.
3. Green (heavy materials) - .039 inch (1.0mm) opening. This
size works best for hard to spray, coarse materials such as
thick latex.
The stain tip is an option included with some models. It has a
(b)
specially designed opening for use with thin materials such as thin
stains, sealers and waterproofers, and can be adjusted to reduce
overspray. If you did not receive a stain tip and will be spraying one
of these materials, the tip can be purchased at your local retailer.
The stain tip pattern is round with a fine spray. To adjust the spray
pattern size and coarseness, turn the tip slightly counterclockwise to
narrow the pattern and make the spray more coarse. Turn the tip
slightly clockwise to widen the pattern and make the spray more fine.
