Hints for optimum use
Preparation tips
Always stir and strain the material thoroughly before use.
u
With any spraying job you should always ensure that
u
you have properly prepared the surface to get the best
finish. That is, all surfaces are free from dust, dirt, rust and
grease. Lightly pressure wash decks or exterior surfaces
and ensure that they are dry before spraying.
It is recommended that you mask all edges and other
u
areas and use drop cloths to protect your floors and
anything else in the spraying area that you wish to remain
untouched.
Skin that forms on the top of paint can clog the sprayer.
u
Remove skin before mixing. Strain with a funnel with a
filter attached or through hosiery to remove any impurities
that could clog system.
Before starting have gloves, paper towels, rags etc. avail-
u
able for unexpected spills.
Developing the proper spraying technique (fig. N & O)
Practice spraying on a piece of scrap material such as
u
cardboard to test your spray pattern and become familiar
with the flow control feature of the sprayer.
Ensure surface to be sprayed is free of dust, dirt, and
u
grease.
Ensure spray area is clean and free of dust that could be
u
blown onto newly sprayed surfaces.
Cover any areas not intended to be sprayed.
u
Always spray from a minimum of 25mm to a maximum of
u
355mm (fig. N).
A commonly used method for spraying a large surface
u
is the "crisscross" pattern. This is done by spraying in
horizontal strips and then crossing over these strips with
vertical strips.
To get an even spray distribution, always keep your arm at
u
the same distance (fig. N) from the surface you are spray-
ing and avoid moving your wrist (fig. O).
Maintain smooth and consistent speed which will help
u
avoid inconsistencies. Begin spraying after the pass has
begun and release trigger before stopping the pass.
Avoid spraying too heavily in any one area. Several lighter
u
coats are better than one heavy coat which can lead to
running and dripping. Remember that the flow control
knob regulates the amount of liquid that can be sprayed.
Turning the flow knob clockwise increases the flow of
liquid. Turning the knob counterclockwise decreases the
flow of liquid. If runs or drips do occur, have a dry paint
brush on hand to smooth them out.
Turn the power unit off and place the sprayer in the built-in
u
dock of the power unit when not spraying for any length of
time.

Maintenance and cleaning
Your Black & Decker corded appliance has been designed to
operate over a long period of time with a minimum of main-
tenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon
proper appliance care and regular cleaning.
Warning! Be sure to use appropriate personal protective
equipment.
Warning! Before performing any maintenance or cleaning on
corded appliances switch off and unplug the appliance.
Warning! Do not use materials with a flashpoint lower than
55°C. Flashpoint is the temperature that a fluid can produce
enough vapours to ignite (see paint supplier instructions).
Warning! Make sure clean up area is well ventilated and free
of flammable vapours.
Warning! Always spray outdoors when spraying cleaning
solution through sprayer.
Warning! Do not submerse power unit.
Using the quick clean system (fig. P & Q) (BDPS400
& BDPS600 only)
The quick clean system allows for a variety of useful functions.
First, the system can allow you to spray water or a suitable
cleaning liquid while there is still spray material in the main
canister. This is useful when setting up your spray pattern with
the fan nozzle. You can spray water instead of wasting spray
material to view the spray pattern.
Second, the quick clean system allows you to flush the pump
assembly, the piston, the nozzle and the atomizer valve. When
spraying for long periods of time, spray material may build
up causing a deterioration of the spray quality. It is good to
flush this system with water or cleaning liquid after every other
spray material refill. It is also important to flush the system
when the sprayer will sit for more than 15 minutes without use.
Spray material can dry on the nozzle and pump assembly and
would require a thorough cleaning. Always oil piston if sitting
idle for a long period of time. See "Reassembly Section".
Third, the quick clean system allows for a faster clean-up
when your project is complete. One or two flushes through
the quick clean system gives you a head start on cleaning
the nozzle, the atomizer, the pump and piston. Please follow
recommended cleaning steps in this manual when performing
a final clean of the system.
Disconnect the sprayer from the power supply.
u
Open the quick clean door (5), and pour in the cleaning
u
solution using the quick clean fill cup (16).
Warning! Do not overfill the reservoir.
Switch the quick clean lever (1) from paint to clean.
u
Spray into a waste container, cardboard box or test
u
surface to completely flush the sprayer system.
Repeat until the cleaning solution has returned to its
u
natural colour.
