Preparation Tips; Speed And Flow Control Settings - Black & Decker BDPS400 Instruction Manual

The liquid being sprayed may need to be thinned (diluted)
before starting. When thin ning, use the proper liquid
thinner recom mended on the container by the material
manufacturer and the proper dilution rate.
Warning! Do not use materials with a flashpoint higher
than 60°C (140°F) .
A 2- 3/4 quart mixing bucket is provided to use
when transferring spray material from the original
container into the bucket for thinning and
measuring purposes (Fig. E).
f If material needs thinning, add the appropriate liquid
thinning material recommended by the manufacturer
(Fig. E1).
f The quick clean fill cup has a measurement of 2.5
ozs. This can be used as a quick measurement when
thinning to 5% in the side fill canister.
f It is possible to spray latex paint with this unit,
howeer, the required thinning may exceed material
manufacturer's recommendation. The operator should
consider the type of application and final location of
the project when spraying.

PREPARATION TIPS

f With any spraying job you should always ensure that you
have properly prepared the surface to get the best finish.
That is, that 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.
f It is recommended that you mask all edges and other
areas and use drop cloths to protect your floors and
anything else in the spraying area that you wish to
remain untouched.
f Skin that forms on the top of paint can clog the
sprayer. Remove skin before mixing. Older material
may need to be strained with a funnel with a filter
attached or through hosiery to remove any impurities
that could clog system.
f Before starting have gloves, paper towels, rags etc.
available for unexpected spills.
FILLING THE CANISTER (FIG. F)
f Check to make sure that the canister is completely
screwed onto the sprayer.
OUNCES PER GALLON
8 ounces
6-1/2 ounces
13 ounces
f Lay the sprayer on its side with the canister side lid
facing up.
f Unscrew the lid on the side of the canister.
f Pour the properly thinned and strained material to be
sprayed into the side fill canister (Fig. F).
Tip: Use the mixing bucket provided to pour material from
the original material container into the side fill canister.
f Clean any residual liquid from the threads or sides of
the canister and sprayer.
f Starting the threads evenly, screw the lid completely
onto the side fill canister. Check the lid to make sure it
is threaded on squarely and completely before picking
up the sprayer.
ALIGNING THE PICKUP TUBE (FIG. F1 and F2)
The pickup tube can be aligned in the direction that you
will be doing the most spraying to help minimize the
amount of times that you will have to refill the canister.
f If you are spraying at an upward angle or straight on,
position the pickup tube (Fig. F1) toward the back of
the canister.
f If you are spraying at a downward angle, position the
pickup tube (Fig. F2) toward the front of the canister.
This will ensure you spray as much material
as possible before you need to refill.
OPTIONAL SETUP USING DIRECT TO
CAN HOSE - BDPS600 ONLy
f Unscrew the canister from the sprayer by turning the
collar as shown in Fig.G and remove the pickup tube
and filter (Fig. G1).
f Push the suction hose onto the intake and return ports
as shown (Fig. G2).
f Pull the hose apart on the opposite end and slide the
larger hose completely through the container clip,
then over the barbs of the pickup tube and filter as
shown in Fig. G3.
f Place the suction tube assembly into the material
container and attach the container clip securely to
the side (Fig. G4). Check to make sure that complete
assembly is submerged in the material container.
