Two-Speed Control; Spraying Instructions - Black & Decker PRO 6.8 Instruction Manual

TWO-SPEED CONTROL

"Low" is the better setting when you need to paint slowly—doing tighter, detail work,
for example, when you are spraying thin materials (e.g., semi-transparent stain). The
"High" setting sprays more paint, so use this to quickly paint larger, more open areas.
(See Figure E.)

SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS

Caution: Do not twist electrical cord. Make sure heavy objects are not placed on it. Keep
electrical cord away from heat and sharp objects. To avoid a tripping hazard, make sure
cord is not in a heavy traffic area. Do not use the cord if it is damaged.
Use appropriate breathing protection, eye protection, gloves and clothing.
1. Empty container thoroughly and ensure the container is dry.
2. Deposit the stain or paint material into container.
3. Begin spraying by pressing the switch. Adjust the volume control knob to get the best
spray pattern. A pattern with heavy spray in center (Figure F1) means the pressure is
too low. Adjust the volume control knob by turning counterclockwise to increase
pressure. A correct spray pattern looks like the one shown in Figure F2. The stain or
paint should be evenly spread over the surface.
4. If the spray pattern is still not correct, refer to TROUBLESHOOTING.
5. Hold the sprayer 10 to 12 inches from the surface to be stained or painted. Keep the
sprayer parallel to the ground without pointing it up or down. See Figure G.
NOTE: TILTING THE SPRAYER IS NOT RECOMMENDED.
NOTE: TO AVOID RUNS AND SAGS, DO NOT SPEED UP OR SLOW DOWN WHILE
MOVING THE SPRAYER.
6. Overlap each stroke about 1/3 of the spray pattern.
7. To spray inside corners, spray the adjoining walls or surface first. The overspray will
stain or paint the corner.
8. When you spray an outside corner, point the spray tip of the sprayer towards the
surface. This will prevent stain or paint from being sprayed past the corner and onto
surfaces you do not want stained or painted.
IMPORTANT
Should a low humming sound and/or irregular spray pattern occur while spraying,
immediately remove plug from electrical source and thoroughly clean the sprayer. This will
prevent the motor from overheating and causing damage to the sprayer. See CLEAN UP
INSTRUCTIONS.
NOTE: If you stop spraying for 30 minutes or longer; before continuing, retest the spray
pattern by spraying on newspaper or cardboard. If you are unable to adjust the spray
pattern properly, it is possible the stain or paint material has started to dry. If this
happens, clean the sprayer. See CLEAN UP INSTRUCTIONS.
NOTE: The small vent hole on the top of the cylinder housing must be kept clean. If the
stain or paint material should dry and clog the hole in the cylinder housing, your
sprayer will not function properly. See CLEAN UP INSTRUCTIONS.
NOTE: If the spray pattern is still not correct, a thorough cleaning of the spray tip,
atomizer valve assembly, and pick-up tube may be required. To maintain correct
spraying, it may be necessary to clean the unit after dispensing five to nine gallons of
paint or stain. After cleaning, reassemble the parts.
