the trigger lock forward and slightly
down until it stops. To unlock the
gun, turn the trigger lock so that it
is vertical and pointing up.
WARNING

Do not spray without the tip guard in place. Never trigger the gun
unless the tip is in either the spray or the unclog position. Always lock
the gun off before removing, replacing or cleaning the tip.

NCLOGGING THE
PRAY
Do not attempt to unclog or clean the tip with your finger. Do not use a
needle or other sharp pointed instrument to clean the tip. The hard
tungsten carbide is brittle and can be chipped.
The spray gun is equipped with a reversible tip which allows you to blow
out any particles of old paint or other contaminants that may obstruct the
paint flow through the tip. If the spray pattern becomes distorted or
stops completely while the gun is triggered, follow these steps:
1. Release the trigger and lock the gun off.
2. Rotate the reversible tip cylinder arrow 180° so that
the point of the arrow is toward the rear of the gun.
3. Unlock the gun and squeeze the trigger, pointing
the gun at a scrap piece of wood or cardboard.
This allows pressure in the spray hose to blow out
the obstruction. When the nozzle is clean, paint will
come out in a straight, high pressure stream.
4. Release the trigger and lock the gun off.
5. Reverse the tip so the arrow points forward again.
6. Unlock the gun and resume spraying.
If spraying with latex paint, use warm soapy water for cleaning. If using
oil or alkyd-based paints, use mineral spirits or paint thinner. Refer to
the paint manufacturer's instructions for specific recomendations.
Do not use mineral spirits or paint thinner on latex paint, or the mixture
will turn into a jellylike substance which is difficult to remove.

LEANING THE
PRAY
The spray gun includes a filter to catch particles before they reach the spray
tip. If this filter becomes clogged or obstructed it will reduce the flow of paint,
changing the spray pattern and possibly damaging the filter.
This filter must be cleaned daily. If the material being used is old or contains
hardened particles, then the filter should be cleaned approximately every 4
hours. If the filter is not cleaned at the proper time, it will plug and blow pin
holes in the filter. Holes in the filter will allow unwanted particles to get into
the spray tip, causing the spray tip to clog.
Clean the filter by rinsing it thoroughly in water or the type of solvent appropri-
ate to the paint you are using. If this is not sufficient, use a natural or nylon
bristle brush dipped in water or the appropriate solvent. Do not use a wire
brush or any sharp instrument on the filter.
