FINISH MAX® FINE FINISH SPRAYER (C800766) 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, vertical, or cone 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.
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 (see Figure D) 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).
8. Keep a stiff wrist. Do not arch your wrist at the beginning or the 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. Thinning should be followed per the stain or paint manufacturer’s
guidelines. Because materials differ from brand to brand, this guide can offer only general
information. 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 five 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 while 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.
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 Fine Finish Sprayer sprays in one of three
patterns: horizontal, vertical, or cone. (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 page 6 and do this process again, this time to adjust the
flow rate not to the water you used to practice but to the material now in the container.
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 spray
tip and pick-up tube. 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 heatsinks,
keyboards, airconditioner filter meshes and all kinds of precision instruments. (See Figure F.)
However it is NOT suitable for liquid spraying.

STEP ONE: CLEAN UP INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Proper clean up is essential to keep your sprayer in optimum working condition.
Driedby-products act like glue and will cause moving parts to stick. Failure to properly clean
your paint sprayer will damage the unit. Taking the time to clean your sprayer immediately
after use will help your sprayer last longer and work correctly. If you are finished with the
project or are not going to use the sprayer within the day, you must follow these instructions
for proper clean up. Never store the sprayer longer than 30 minutes without cleaning.
1. Unplug sprayer from electrical outlet and pull trigger on spray gun so material inside unit
flows back into the container.
2. Empty any remaining (stain or paint) material from the container.
3. Fill container approximately 1/2 full with appropriate cleaning solution.
For latex, use warm soapy water; for oil-based, use a cleaning solution
recommended by the material manufacturer.
4. Plug sprayer into an electrical outlet.
5. Press the switch of the sprayer until the cleaning solution passes through the spray
nozzle for several seconds. (See Figure A.)
6. Remove container and properly discard the cleaning solution.
7. Unplug the sprayer from the electrical outlet.
STEP TWO: CLEAN UP INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE SPRAY TIP
Use the brush (included) to complete the following steps.
1. Unplug sprayer from electrical outlet and pull trigger on spray gun so material inside unit
flows back into the container.
2. Unscrew the container and discard any remaining cleaning solution.
3. Remove the pick-up tube from the sprayer and clean it with warm, soapy water.*
(See Figure B.)
4. Unscrew the air cap ring, remove the winged spray cap and the inner spacer.
Clean all three with warm, soapy water.* (See Figure C.)
5. Clean the sealing ring found between the container and the housing with warm,
soapy water*.
6. Clean the Brass Fluid Nozzle housing and the unit with warm, soapy water.* Remove
the Brass Fluid Nozzle by unscrewing and clean around the brass needle with the brush
provided. (See Figure D.)
7. Clean holes on each side of pickup tube with toothpick. (See Figure E.)
8. Let the components dry thoroughly and reassemble the unit.
9. Store the unit.
