 Select the proper spray tip for desired spray pattern.
 Plug in the sprayer.
 Pull the switch trigger to spray paint. Release the switch
trigger to stop paint spray.
 Practice spraying on a piece of scrap material to test your
spray pattern and to prime the pump before beginning. If
you cannot get a good spray pattern with an even amount
of paint or stain throughout, refer to the Troubleshooting
section later in this manual.
NOTE: The pump must be primed after every paint
change and at first use after storing. Spray paint at a
scrap surface for at least 20 seconds to prime.
 To create an even coating over the entire surface:
• Move your arm at a steady rate of speed and make
sure to move your entire arm, not just your wrist.
• Keep the sprayer an even distance from the area being
sprayed, which should be between 10 to 12 inches
from the tip of the sprayer to the surface being sprayed.
• Depress the trigger to begin the spray off the mate-
rial you want to paint. Operate the sprayer in straight
horizontal or vertical strokes across the surface being
painted, then release the trigger off the material to end
the stroke.
NOTE: For spray quality consistency when using thin-
ner paints, it may be necessary to keep the trigger
depressed between strokes.
 When finished, unplug the sprayer, return any unused
paint or stain to its original container, and thoroughly
clean the sprayer.
CAUTION:
It is important to thoroughly clean the sprayer after each
use or when changing colors. Allowing paint or stain to
remain in an idle tool for an extended period can cause
its moving pieces to seize up.
WARNING:
Do not clean with any flammable liquids such as paint
stripper, paint remover, brush cleaner, mineral spirits,
lacquer thinner, turpentine, acetone, gasoline, kerosene,
etc.
CLEANING THE SPRAYER AFTER USE
The solution used to clean the sprayer is determined by the
type of material that has been sprayed. For latex products,
use water. For oil-based paints or stains use Klean-Strip
Revolutionary White Formula Paint Thinner, Klean-Strip
Green Thinner, or any other non-flammable paint thinner.
OPERATION
To clean the sprayer for short term storage (24 hours
or less):
 Unplug the sprayer.
 If you haven't already done so, remove the paint con-
tainer and return any unused paint or stain to its original
container or remove the paint container and store with
provided lid for up to 24 hours.
 Following the use of latex products, fill the unused paint
container with lukewarm water. Following the use of
oil-based paints or stains fill the unused container with
Klean-Strip
Klean-Strip
flammable paint thinner.
 Reinstall the paint container with appropriate cleaning
solution.
 Plug in the sprayer.
 Spray the solution onto a piece of cardboard or other
scrap material. Continue spraying until all the solution is
used.
 Unplug the sprayer.
 Place a line of lubricant on the piston. To gain access to
the piston, follow the instructions in Cleaning the Sprayer
for Storage in the Maintenance section of this manual.
