PaintStick EZ-Twist Instructions

Tips for Painting with the PaintStick EZ-Twist

•

Inspect roller cover for lint before painting. If needed wash before using.

•

When using the PaintStick EZ-Twist for the first paint application, it will take most of the paint in the
PaintStick EZ-Twist tube to saturate the roller cover.

•

Keep roller moving while pushing inner handle in to prevent dripping.

•

Stop pushing inner handle in if the roller starts to skid or slide.

•

When painting in tight areas partially fill PaintStick EZ-Twist. This reduces overall length
of P aintStick EZ-Twis t.

•

When leaving PaintStick EZ-Twist unattended for a longer period of time wrap roller cover in a
plastic bag.

Painting with the PaintStick EZ-Twist

1. Hold the PaintStick EZ-Twist at a 45° angle and place the fill port over the fill tube (figure A). Firmly
push down until it bottoms on the fill tube. DO NOT KEEP PaintStick EZ-Twist ON FILL TUBE FOR
LONGER THAN 1 MINUTE AT A TIME.

Note: Make sure the fill tube is opposite from where you are standing when filling

to properly seat the valve. If inner handle is difficult to pull out, hold the
black knob and twist inner handle, then pull.

2. Use your thumb to move the toggle switch into the up position. (figure B).

3. While continuing to push the PaintStick EZ-Twist securely onto fill tube with one hand, pull inner

handle back with the other hand to draw paint into handle. When the handle is full of paint, lift
PaintStick EZ-Twist slowly off fill tube while holding fill tube securely to ensure it remains in can.
(figure C).

• NOTE: If inner tube does not release from outer tube, flip toggle switch to the down position and turn
the inner tube counterclockwise to release the inner tube from the outer tube.

4. To begin applying paint, put the toggle switch in the down position. (figure D).

5. Operate the PaintStick EZ-Twist by twisting the inner tube clockwise to feed paint to the roller cover.
(figure E).

• NOTE: To use the PaintStick without the EZ-Twist feature, put the toggle switch in the up position and
push in the inner tube to feed paint to the roller cover.

• NOTE: You may also hold the clear tube and rotate the inner tube by grasping anywhere along the
outer tube.
