f Avoid spraying too heavily in any one area. Several
lighter 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.
f Turn the power unit off and place the sprayer in the
built-in dock of the power unit when not spraying for
any length of time.
CLEANING
Warning!: Be sure to use appropriate protective gear.
f Do not use materials with a flashpoint higher than
60°C ( 140°F) . Flashpoint is the temperature that a
fluid can produce enough vapors to ignite (see coating
supplier).
f Make sure clean up area is well ventilated and free of
flammable vapors.
f Always spray outdoors when spraying cleaning
solution through sprayer.
f Do not submerse power unit.
f Use drop cloths during pouring, mixing, and viscosity
testing of materials to be sprayed to protect your
floors and anything else in the spraying area that you
wish to remain untouched.
To begin cleaning:
f Turn the power unit off, unplug the cord and
disconnect air hose from sprayer.
f Unscrew the lid from the side of the canister and pour
any remaining liquid back into the original container
(Fig. K).
f Pour a small amount of the appropriate cleaning
solution into the canister (Fig. L).
f Warm soapy water for water based materials
f Manufacturers recommended cleaning solution for oil
based materials
f Replace the lid on the canister securely and
vigorously shake the sprayer.
f Unscrew the lid from the side of the canister and
properly dispose of cleaning solution.
f Refill the canister with a small amount of new cleaning
solution (Fig. L). Screw lid securely on canister.
f Reattach the air hose to the sprayer, plug in the cord
and turn on the power unit.
f Spray the cleaning solution through the sprayer onto
scrap material for 2 to 3 seconds (Fig. M).
f Turn the power unit off, unplug the cord and
disconnect air hose from sprayer.
f Remove the canister and unscrew the side lid.
Remove the pickup tube and o-ring from the sprayer.
Clean the parts with the cleaning brush in the
appropriate cleaning solution (Fig. N).
f Unscrew the tip collar and remove the spray nozzle
and spray tip. Clean all parts with the cleaning brush
in the appropriate cleaning solution (Fig. O). Be sure
to clean around check valve with brush (Fig. O
inset).
f If using water based material, clean the sprayer by
running water through pickup tube inlet as shown in
Fig. P. If using oil based materials, clean pickup tube
inlet with the appropriate cleaning solution. Repeat
until sprayer is completely clean.
f Dry all parts throughly.
f Properly dispose of cleaning solution.
f Place a drop of household oil into the inside edge of
the check valve (Fig. Q).
Important!: Lubricating the ball in check valve, after
cleanup, will help to prevent it from sticking which
can clog the valve and prevent adequate flow of spray
material.
f Reassemble sprayer (Fig. R).
Note: The spray tip can only go in one way. The notch
on the spray tip, shown in (Fig. S) must align with the
recess in the threads of the sprayer.
MAINTENANCE
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the power
unit. Never let any liquid get inside the power unit; never
immerse any part of the power unit into a liquid.
Important!: To assure product SAFETY and
RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (other
than those listed in this manual) should be performed
by authorized service centers or other qualified service
organizations, always using identical replacement parts.
The power unit contains a washable/reuseable filter
(Fig. T). Check the filter before and after each use. If
dirty, wash with warm water and allow to air dry before
re-installing or replace if necessary.
f To check the filter, remove the filter cover by pressing
in on the sides of the filter cover and pulling the cover
off the power unit. Remove the filter as shown in
Fig. T and inspect. Replace filter and filter cover.
Never operate the power unit without the filter in place.
Debris could be sucked in and interfere with the function
of the power unit.
STORAGE
Make sure unit is clean and dry before storing. Store unit
indoors in a dry location. To prevent damage, wrap the
electrical cord so that it is not crimped during storage.
