SET-UP

WARNING: Be sure to use appropriate

protective gear and unplug unit.

WARNING: Make sure area is well

ventilated and free of flammable vapors.

SELECTING THE PROPER SPRAY NOZZLE - (FIGURES B AND B1)

The sprayer includes two standard nozzles that are colored coded for ease of identification.

Fan (wide) nozzle (green - figure B) - This nozzle has a spring attached to the back which allows for adjustments for spraying both vertically and horizontally. It also has tabs on the side which match the spray pattern when set for spraying side to side and top to bottom. The spray pattern covers a wide area. This is the spray nozzle that is identified as number 1 in the diagram on top of the sprayer.

Cone nozzle (blue - figure B1) - The cone nozzle spray pattern is more concentrated. Use this nozzle for items that are too small for the fan nozzle. This is the spray nozzle that is identified as number 2 in the diagram on top of the sprayer.

ATTACHING THE SPRAY NOZZLES - (FIGURES C AND C1) To attach the green fan spray nozzle:

• Make sure cord is unplugged.

• Thread the nozzle onto the spindle until you feel a little resistance (about 10 full turns).

• Push in on the spring loaded nozzle and turn until it is fully seated (figure C).

• Once the nozzle is fully seated, the spring on the back of the nozzle will make it pop out slightly when it is released (figure C1).

• Make sure fan spray nozzle is completely threaded on by hand only. If it is not fully seated in can leak or damage the nozzle.

To remove the green fan spray nozzle:

• Press in on the nozzle and turn counterclockwise.

To attach the blue cone spray nozzle:

• Thread the nozzle onto the spindle until it is fully seated.

• Make sure cone spray nozzle is completely threaded on by hand only. If it is not fully seated in can leak or damage the nozzle.

ADJUSTING THE FAN SPRAY NOZZLE - (FIGURES D AND D1) To adjust the fan spray nozzle:

• Make sure cord is unplugged and that the fan spray nozzle is fully hand-tightened.

• The fan spray nozzle has two tabs which align to indicate vertical and horizontal positions.

• If you will be spraying (side to side) adjust the nozzle to align with the vertical mark as shown in figure D.

• If you will be spraying (up and down) adjust the nozzle to align with the horizontal mark as shown in figure D1.

C1C1

CAUTION: Do not compress or push

spring when adjusting fan pattern. The nozzle should rotate and not loosen.

LIQUID MATERIAL PREPARATION - (FIGURES E, E1)

IP: Make sure the type of material you

T use can be cleaned with either mineral spirits or paint thinner (for oil-based paints) or a warm water and soap solution (for water soluble paints like latex). 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

ou wish to remain untouched.

The liquid being sprayed may need to be thinned (diluted) before starting. When thinning, use the proper liquid thinner recommended 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-

/4 quart mixing bucket is provided to use when transferring spray material from the original container into

the bucket for thinning and measuring purposes (figure E).

• If material needs thinning, add the appropriate liquid thinning material recommended by the manufacturer (figure E1).

• 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.

• It is possible to spray latex paint with this unit, however, the required thinning may exceed material manufacturerʼs

recommendation. The operator should consider the type of application and final location of the project when spraying.

PREPARATION TIPS

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Before starting have gloves, paper towels, rags etc. available for unexpected spills.

FILLING THE CANISTER - (FIGURE F)

• Check to make sure that the canister is completely screwed onto the

sprayer.

• Lay the sprayer on its side with the canister side lid facing up.

• Unscrew the lid on the side of the canister.

• Pour the properly thinned and strained material to be sprayed into the

side fill canister (figure F). TIP: Use the mixing bucket provided to pour

material from the original material container into the side fill canister.

• Clean any residual liquid from the threads or sides of the canister and

sprayer.

• 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 (FIGURES 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.

• If you are spraying at an upward angle or

straight on, position the pickup tube (figure F1) toward the back of the canister.

If you are spraying at a downward angle,

•

osition the pickup tube (figure F2) toward

p 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

• Unscrew the canister from the sprayer by

turning the collar as shown in figure G and remove the pickup tube and filter (figure G1).

• Push the suction hose onto the intake and

return ports as shown.

(figure G2).

• 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 figure G3.

• Place the suction tube assembly into the

material container and attach the container clip securely to the side (figure G4). Check to make sure that complete assembly is submerged in the material container.

SPEED AND FLOW CONTROL SETTINGS

TWO SPEED CONTROL SWITCH - (FIGURE H) (MODEL BDPS600 ONLY)

Your sprayer has two different speed settings.

• To change speeds, press the right side of the switch. An LED indicates setting 1

or 2.

• Use the lower speed setting (Setting 1) to obtain greater control over your spray-

ing project, while the higher speed (Setting 2) allows for greater coverage in a shorter amount of time.

The lower speed level allows you to get closer to your work with less overspray.

•

Low setting works well with lighter bodied or more free flowing paints like stains and sealers.

• More heavy bodied paints, like water based latex, will need setting number 2

• Use the speed control setting in conjuction with the flow control knob and test for

what works best with your material being sprayed. Set the flow control to a lower or medium settting (1-5) when on speed setting 1. Set the flow control to medium or higher setting (5-9) when on speed setting 2.

FLOW CONTROL KNOB - (FIGURE I)

The flow control knob regulates the amount of liquid that can be sprayed.

• Select low (1), medium (5) or high (9) on the flow control knob.

TIP: Always test the spray pattern on scrap cardboard or similar material first. Begin with flow control knob on the highest flow setting. Heavier, thicker materials should be sprayed on the higher setting closer to #9. Thinner materials should be sprayed on the lower setting closer to #1.

OPERATION

ON / OFF TRIGGER - (FIGURE J)

The sprayer is turned on and off by the trigger.

• To turn the sprayer on, squeeze the trigger.

• To turn the sprayer off, release the trigger.

WARNING: Risk of injury. Never point the sprayer at any part of the body.

Never pull the trigger while adjusting the spray setting.

PRIMING WITH THE DIRECT TO CAN HOSE - BDPS600 ONLY

• The time needed to prime will vary from 30 seconds to 3 minutes depending upon the thickness of the material you are spraying. When the sprayer is priming or sucking up the paint on the initial use, it will produce a loud noise, this is normal. When the sprayer is primed and painting, the noise will lessen.

• If your sprayer is properly cleaned and oiled and it takes longer than three minutes to prime, your piston and/or pump housing may be worn and will need to be replaced before using your direct to can hose.

• Using the direct to can hose will decrease the material flow, so it will take longer to apply the same amount of material to the surface being sprayed.

• A 75% duty cycle is recommended when using the direct to can hose. For example, trigger the sprayer for 15 seconds, and then allow the sprayer to remain idle for 5 seconds.

If you are using the direct to can hose, you will need to prime the sprayer by

removing air from the system. To prime:

1. Make sure the sprayer is plugged in, and turn the flow control knob counterclockwise to maximum (figure K).

2. Hold the sprayer below the level of the paint. This will speed up the priming

(figure L).

3. Aim the sprayer at a piece of scrap wood or cardboard. Squeeze the trigger and hold until all air is out of the system and material is flowing freely out of the sprayer tip. This could take up to three minutes.

Important: The end of the direct to can hose must remain completely submerged

in the material. If it is not completely submerged and air is sucked into the system, the piston could seize. If the piston seizes, the sound the sprayer makes will change to a low hum and the sprayer will quickly become hot to the touch. Never run the sprayer when the piston is seized. Should this happen, clean the piston and the pump housing thoroughly using the cleanup procedures found in this manual.

DEVELOPING THE PROPER SPRAYING TECHNIQUE

• Practice spraying on a piece of scrap material such as cardboard to test your spray pattern and become familiar with

the speed settings flow control features of the sprayer.

• Ensure surface to be sprayed is free of dust, dirt, and grease.

• Ensure spray area is clean and free of dust that could be blown onto newly sprayed surfaces.

• Cover any areas not intended to be sprayed.

• Always spray from a minimum of 1 inch (25mm) to a maximum of 14 inches (355mm) (figure M). Optimal is usually

around 10 inches or use a paint stir stick as a reference.

• A commonly used method for spraying a large surface is the “crisscross” pattern. This is done by spraying in horizon-

tal strips and then crossing over these strips with vertical strips.

• To get an even spray distribution, always keep your arm at the same distance (figure M) from the surface you are

spraying and avoid moving your wrist (figure M1).

• Maintain smooth and consistent speed which will help avoid inconsistencies. Begin spraying after the pass has

begun and release trigger before stopping the pass.

• 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 counterclockwise increases the flow of liquid. Turning the knob clockwise decreases the flow of liquid. If runs or drips do occur, have a dry paint brush on hand to smooth them out.

WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. When spraying overhead, never tip the sprayer more than

45 degrees. The material being sprayed could leak into the motor housing.

TIP: If the atomizer valve is not seated properly, spray material will leak from behind the spray nozzle. If material is leaking, turn off and unplug sprayer from power source immediately. Follow these steps to correct the problem:

• Unplug the sprayer from the power source.

Follow steps for “How to Use the Quick Clean System” on page 13.

If problem presists:

• Check that the sprayer is unplugged from the

power source. Remove the spray nozzle by turning counterclockwise (figure N). For the fan nozzle, remember to push and turn counterclockwise to remove.

• Remove the atomizer and check to see if it

needs to be cleaned or replaced. Also check inside the pump housing for any debris or obstruction and clean if necessary (figure N1).

• Replace the atomizer valve making sure it

seats properly (figure N2).

• Thread the spray nozzle back onto the sprayer

by turning clockwise (figure N3).

CLEANING

WARNING:

• Make sure clean up area is well ventilated and free of flammable vapors.

• Always spray outdoors when spraying cleaning solution through sprayer.

• 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.

USING THE QUICK CLEAN SYSTEM

The quick clean system allows for a variety of useful functions.

First, the system can allow you to spray water or a suitable cleaning liquid while there is still spray material in the main canister. This is useful when setting up your spray pattern with the fan nozzle. You can spray water instead of wasting spray material to view the spray pattern.

Second, the quick clean system allows you to flush the pump assembly, the piston, the nozzle and the atomizer valve. When spraying for long periods of time, spray material may build up causing a deterioration of the spray quality. It is good to flush this system with water or cleaning liquid after every other spray material refill. It is also important to flush the system when the sprayer will sit for more than 15 minutes without use. Spray material can dry on the nozzle and pump assembly and would require a thorough cleaning. Always oil piston if sitting idle for a long period of time. See “Reassembly Section”.

Be sure to use appropriate protective gear.

Third, the quick clean system allows for a faster

clean-up when your project is complete. One or two flushes through the quick clean system gives you a head start on cleaning the nozzle, the atomizer, the pump and piston. Please follow recommended cleaning steps in this manual when performing a final clean of the system.

HOW TO USE THE QUICK CLEAN SYSTEM

• Unplug the sprayer from the power source.

• Fill the quick clean fill cup, to the 95ml fill line,

with water or the approprate cleaning solution.

• Open the quick clean door, and pour in the

cleaning solution as shown in figure O. Do not overfill the reservoir.

• Switch the quick clean lever from paint to

clean (figure O1).

• Plug in the sprayer.

• Spray into a waste container, cardboard box or

test surface to completely flush the sprayer system.

• Once the spray pattern turns to only the color

of the cleaning solution, begin cleaning.

• You may need to flush more than once.

NOTICE: Please note, this is not the final cleaning step.

TO BEGIN CLEANING:

• Unplug the sprayer from the power source.

• Unscrew the lid from the side of the canister

and pour any remaining liquid back into the original container (figure P).
