• Depress the trigger to start the spray at the beginning
of the stroke and release the trigger as you end the
stroke. To prevent material build-up, do not keep the
trigger depressed as you proceed to the next stroke.
• Make one pass for each stroke. Overlap strokes in
halves for full coverage.
 When finished, return any unused paint or stain to its
original container and thoroughly clean the sprayer.
PAINTING WITH THE ROLLER ATTACHMENT
See Figures 17 - 18, pages 18 - 19.
NOTE: The pistol-grip sprayer is used to control the flow of
paint into the roller attachment. Pull the trigger only when
more paint is needed on the roller.
 Turn lock-off thumbscrew counterclockwise to lock pistol-
grip sprayer trigger.
 Turn off paint station and release pressure from spraying.
 Assemble the 9 in. roller into the roller head according to
the Installing Paint Roller section of this manual.
 Remove nozzle tip guard and spray tip from pistol-grip
sprayer.
 Thread roller handle onto sprayer (make sure rubber
washer is in the roller handle before assembling).
 Tighten securely with an adjustable wrench.
 Snap roller head onto roller handle (make sure latches
are completely engaged).
 Turn ON/OFF switch ON.
 Turn HIGH/LOW pressure control to ROLLING icon (LOW
pressure).
 Turn prime/spray lever to SPRAY.
 Squeeze the trigger. Once the roller has paint, release
the trigger and squeeze again only when more paint is
needed.
NOTE: Do not continuously squeeze the trigger. For best
results, after every third stroke, pull trigger for 1 second,
release, then continue to paint.
 Grasp the roller handle grip with one hand while holding
the trigger handle with the other hand. Do not force the
roller against the surface you are painting.
 To create an even coating over the entire surface:
• Apply paint or stain in an area several feet wide in a
zig-zag direction.
• Roll back and forth repeatedly over the same area
until the entire area is covered and the roller marks
are smoothed out.
• If additional coats are necessary, let paint or stain dry
completely between coats.
 When finished, lock pistol-grip sprayer trigger and follow
Release Pressure Procedure.
 Unplug the paint station.

CLEANING THE PAINT STATION
See Figures 19 - 20, page 19.

Thinner (for oil-based paints or varnish).
NOTICE:
It is important to thoroughly clean paint station and
pistol-grip sprayer after each use or when changing paint
color. Allowing paint or stain to remain in an idle tool for
an extended period of time can cause its hoses to clog
and its moving parts to seize.

from possible spills.

Procedure.
 Unplug the paint station.
 Remove the spray tip and nozzle tip guard from sprayer.
