FINISH MAX PRO FINE FINISH SPRAYER (C800850) ENGLISH
PRACTICE FIRST
Practice spraying water on newspaper or cardboard. This will give you the feel of the sprayer and
familiarize you with its features. Follow the instructions for adjusting to the proper spraypattern.
1. Make sure the spray tip is screwed on tightly. Familiarize yourself with the spray cap: Turn its wings
to adjust to a horizontal or vertical spray pattern. (See Figure A.)
2. Remove the container from the spray gun by turning it counterclockwise.
3. Firmly insert the pick-up tube. (See Figure B.) Place the pick-up tube with its angle pointing forward
if you’ll be spraying mostly in the downward direction, and place it facing backward if you’ll be
spraying mostly in an upward direction. This tube placement can be adjusted/changed at any time
during your project.
4. Fill the container with water and re-fasten it.
5. Plug in the sprayer and turn on.
6. Engage the trigger and wait a few seconds for the unit to start spraying the water.
7. Turn the volume control knob fully clockwise to get maximum flow. Then, turn it counterclockwise
and notice how the spray pattern changes in width and intensity. Adjust this knob until you get a
good spray pattern. (See Figure C.)
NOTE: The best distance for spraying is 4 to 10 inches from the surface you’re spraying. Too far
away may result in overspray (and wasted liquid), and too close may cause liquid build-up (runs)
(see Figure D).
8. Keep a stiff wrist. Do not arch your wrist at the beginning or end of the stroke. (See Figure E.)
Do not stop the motion of the unit while spraying. The path of the sprayer must pass beyond the
area being sprayed, and the switch must be triggered on and off as the sprayer passes into and out
of the spraying area. (See Figure F.)
NOTE: Stopping the motion of the sprayer or swinging into a new stroke pattern while spray is
being delivered will result in heavy spray build-up at the edges of the stroke.
SURFACE PREP
Thoroughly clean all objects and surfaces to be sprayed before spraying material on them. You may
want to mask or cover areas not intended to be sprayed.
SMALL PROJECTS
This sprayer uses airflow to transfer liquid to the work piece. It is recommended that for small projects,
the user first tests the sprayer without adding liquid to the cup. The airflow may cause small pieces to
move or fall during operation. Use caution and good judgement before spraying liquid.

THINNING MATERIALS
In order for your sprayer to operate properly it is important to make sure the stain or paint is
thin enough to be sprayed. Materials can differ from brand to brand, this guide can offer only
general information. Follow paint or stain manufacturer’s guideline for thinning. The final guide
to correctly thinned stain or paint is achieving the proper spray pattern as shown in Figure A.
Always follow the coverage rate recommended by the manufacturer regardless of the thinning
required. Because there is a variance in viscosity between paint and stain brands, it might be
necessary to thin 5 to 15 percent to achieve optimum spray pattern.
Use the viscosity cup (included) and the chart below to determine whether you’ll need to thin the
material you’re using:
1. Dip the viscosity cup fully into the liquid you intend to spray.
2. Lift the viscosity cup out of the liquid, and, holding the cup over the paint or stain can, time
how long it takes for the liquid to drain out of the cup. This is known as the liquid’s run-out
time. If it takes longer than the time shown on the chart for the liquid to leave the viscosity
cup, thin the liquid until the run-out time falls within the time bracket shown for the liquid
you’re using.
3. When you’ve completed this process, clean the viscosity cup with warm, soapy water if
you’re using a water-based product or per the manufacturer’s instructions if you’re using an
oil-based product.
RUN-OUT TABLE AND THINNING CHART
Material (Oil- or Water-based) Run-Out Time (seconds)
Clear Sealer No thinning required
Enamel 25 to 40
Polyurethane No thinning required
Primer 30 to 45
Stain No thinning required
Varnish 20 to 50
NOTES:
• Be sure pick-up tube is inserted tightly into the intake port.
• Thin material according to the procedure outlined above.
• Before each use, check the Brass Fluid Nozzle and Brass Fluid Needle for dried paint.
Keep Brass Fluid Needle clean.
• Always thoroughly clean the sprayer after each use.
(See CLEAN UP AND MAINTENANCE, page 9.)
• Turn control knob counterclockwise for less flow — see Page 6 Step 7 for more detail.
• Strain old paint or stain before using.
• Slowly stir paint or stain. To prevent air bubbles, do not shake stain or paint.

ADJUSTING THE SPRAY PATTERN
By turning the wings of the tip, the Finish Max Pro Fine Finish Sprayer sprays in one of two
patterns: horizontal or vertical. (See Figure D.) DO NOT engage the trigger while turning the tip,
and be sure not to spray toward you, as this could cause injury. (See Figure C & D)
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. Make sure the container is empty and dry.
2. Pour paint or stain into the container.
3. Be sure the pick-up tube is inserted tightly in the intake port and the tube’s angle
is as you want it. (Figure E.)
4. Affix the container to the sprayer by turning the container counterclockwise.
5. Refer back to “Practice First” on pg 6. Follow Steps 5 thru 8, keeping in mind you are now
spraying paint or stain. If, after making adjustments, you still are not satisfied with the spray
pattern, refer to TROUBLESHOOTING on page 10.
6. Hold the sprayer 4 to 10 inches from the surface to be painted. While the angled pick-up
tube permits you to spray in an upward or downward direction, try to tilt the sprayer as little
as possible. Do not tip more than 45 degrees when motor is switched off.
7. Overlap each stroke by about 1/3 of the spray pattern.
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: If the spray pattern still is not correct, you may need to thoroughly clean the nozzle and
needle. To keep the unit spraying properly, you should expect to clean it after dispensing each
five to nine gallons of paint or stain. After cleaning, reassemble the parts.
AIR BLOWING NOZZLE
The air blowing nozzle is a breeze-dusting device, suitable for dusting computer heat sinks,
keyboards, air conditioner filter meshes and all kinds of precision instruments. (See Figure F.)
However it is NOT suitable for liquid spraying.
