SELECTING A SPRAY TIP
See Figure 12, page 17.
Spray tips come in a variety of hole sizes and fan widths.
Your unit includes two reversible spray tips with a hole size
of .015 in. that will work for a wide variety of applications.
The 415 spray tip has a fan width of 8-10 in. The 515 spray
tip has a fan width of 10-12 in.
HOLE SIZE: Spray tip hole size determines the flow rate,
that is the amount of paint that is discharged from sprayer.
A larger hole size is best for thicker materials. A smaller hole
size is best for thinner materials.
FAN SIZE: Fan width determines the size of the spray pattern
when sprayer is held approximately 12 in. from surface to
be painted.
A narrow fan width will provide thicker coverage of material
and is better suited for small, tight areas.
A wide fan width will give thinner coverage of material and
provide better coverage on large, broad areas.
SPRAY TIP NUMBERS: When selecting a spray tip, the last
three numbers of the spray tip number contains information
on hole size and fan width.
For example if the spray tip number is 1415, the 4, when
doubled is the approximate fan width of paint when applied
12 inches from surface. The last two numbers, 15, refer to
the hole size in inches. In this case .015 in.

When using latex paint, spray tips need to be replaced
between 15 and 40 gallons. For oil based materials, replace
spray tips after 35 to 60 gallons of use.
To increase the life of your spray tips, use the lowest pressure
setting needed to apply an even coating of material.
WARNING:
This is a high pressure device. To reduce the risk of injury,
user must read and understand operator's manual. To
reduce the risk of injection do not point sprayer at any
part of the body, persons, or unit itself. In case of skin
injection, seek medical attention immediately. Failure to
heed this may cause serious personal injury.
SPRAYING
See Figure 13, page 17.
Ensure surface to be painted is free of dust, dirt, and
grease.
Mask or cover any areas not intended to be painted or
stained. Be aware of wind that may cause your paint or
stain to spray into areas not desired. Always use drop
cloths or other cover to protect areas that are not intended
to be painted or stained.
Select spray tip and seat securely into nozzle tip guard.
Arrow on spray tip should face direction of spray.
Plug in the paint station.
Prime unit. Follow Set Up and Priming instructions.
Turn ON/OFF switch ON.
Turn prime/spray lever to SPRAY.
Turn HIGH/LOW pressure control clockwise to SPRAY
icon (HIGH pressure). Pressure can be adjusted to reach
desired spray pattern and coverage.
Unlock pistol-grip sprayer trigger. Begin spraying.
NOTE: If spray tip becomes clogged, turn 180° and spray
into waste container to clear clog. Return spray tip to
spray position and continue spraying.
Lock pistol-grip sprayer trigger and follow release
pressure procedure when finished or stopping for any
reason.
PAINTING TIPS
See Figures 14-15, page 17.
Practice spraying on a piece of scrap material to test your
spray pattern before beginning. If you cannot get a good
spray pattern see Troubleshooting section.
To create an even coating over the entire surface:
• Keep the sprayer an even distance from the area be-
ing sprayed, about 12 inches from the spray tip of the
sprayer to the surface being sprayed.
• Operate the sprayer in straight horizontal strokes. Do
10 — English
OPERATION
not hold the sprayer at an angle. This will result in
uneven coverage.
• Depress the trigger to start the spray at the beginning
of the stroke and release the trigger as you end the
stroke. To prevent material build-up, do not keep the
trigger depressed as you proceed to the next stroke.
• Make one pass for each stroke. Overlap strokes in
halves for full coverage.
When finished, return any unused paint or stain to its
original container and thoroughly clean the sprayer.
PAINTING WITH THE ROLLER ATTACHMENT
See Figures 16-17, pages 17 - 18.
NOTE: The pistol-grip sprayer is used to control the flow of
paint into the roller attachment. Pull the trigger only when
more paint is needed on the roller.
Turn lock-off thumbscrew counterclockwise to lock pistol-
grip sprayer trigger.
Turn off paint station and release pressure from spraying.
Assemble the 9 in. roller into the roller head according to
the Installing Paint Roller.
Remove nozzle tip guard and spray tip from pistol-grip
sprayer.
Thread roller handle onto sprayer (make sure rubber
washer is in the roller handle before assembling).
Tighten securely with an adjustable wrench.
Snap roller head onto roller handle (make sure latches
are completely engaged).
Turn ON/OFF switch ON.
Turn HIGH/LOW pressure control to ROLLING icon (LOW
pressure).
Turn prime/spray lever to SPRAY.
Squeeze the trigger. Once the roller has paint, release
the trigger and squeeze again only when more paint is
needed.
NOTE: Do not continuously squeeze the trigger. For best
results, after every third stroke, pull trigger for 1 second,
release, then continue to paint.
To create an even coating over the entire surface:
• Apply paint or stain in an area several feet wide in a
zig-zag direction.
• Roll back and forth repeatedly over the same area
until the entire area is covered and the roller marks
are smoothed out.
• If additional coats are necessary, let paint or stain dry
completely between coats.
When finished, lock pistol-grip sprayer trigger and follow
Release Pressure Procedure.
Unplug the paint station.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion: Do not use with
flammable liquids (i.e., paint stripper, paint remover,
brush cleaner, mineral spirits, lacquer thinner, turpentine,
acetone, gasoline, kerosene, etc.). Use only water (for
water based paints) or Klean Strip® Revolutionary White
Formula Paint Thinner (for oil-based paints or varnish).
OVERNIGHT STORAGE (UP TO 12 HOURS)
