OPERATING THE SPRAYER
See Figures 5 - 7, pages 12 - 13.
Ensure the 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.
Place a line of lubricant on the piston. To gain access to
the piston, follow the instructions in Cleaning the Sprayer
for Storage in the Maintenance section of this manual.
Re-assemble the spray tip assembly.
The tip guard may be set to spray paint in either a
horizontal or vertical pattern. To change the direction
of the spray, loosen the metal collar of the spray tip
assembly by turning it clockwise. Adjust the spray tip
and tip guard as shown, and tighten the metal collar to
secure the spray tip assembly.
Fill the quick-lock paint container with no more than
1.5 quarts of desired paint or stain.
Plug in the sprayer.
Pull the switch trigger to spray paint. Release the switch
trigger to stop paint spray.
Practice spraying on a piece of scrap material to test your
spray pattern and to prime the pump before beginning. If
you cannot get a good spray pattern with an even amount
of paint or stain throughout, refer to the Troubleshooting
section later in this manual.
NOTE: The pump must be primed after every paint
change and at first use after storing. Spray paint at a
scrap surface for at least 20 seconds to prime.
To create an even coating over the entire surface:
• Move your arm at a steady rate of speed and make
sure to move your entire arm, not just your wrist.
• Keep the sprayer an even distance from the area
being sprayed, which should be between 8 to 10
inches from the tip of the sprayer to the surface
being sprayed.

OPERATION
• Depress the trigger to begin the spray off the
material you want to paint. Operate the sprayer in
straight horizontal or vertical strokes across the
surface being painted, then release the trigger off
the material to end the stroke.
NOTE: For spray quality consistency when using thinner
paints, it may be necessary to keep the trigger depressed
between strokes.
When finished, unplug the sprayer, return any unused
paint or stain to its original container, and thoroughly
clean the sprayer.
CLEARING A PAINT CLOG
See Figure 8, page 13.
If paint is not flowing freely through the spray tip or the surface
does not show an even coat of paint, the spray tip may be
clogged. Reversing the spray tip can help to free the clog.
Twist the spray tip so that the pointed end is turned
toward you.
Point the paint sprayer toward a piece of scrap material.
Press the trigger until paint flows through the spray tip.
This should clear the clog.
Turn the spray tip so that the pointed end is facing away
from you.
Test the sprayer on a piece of scrap material before you
resume painting.
CAUTION:
It is important to thoroughly clean the sprayer after each
use or when changing colors. Allowing paint or stain to
remain in an idle tool for an extended period can cause
its moving pieces to seize up.
WARNING:
Do not clean with any flammable liquids such as paint
stripper, paint remover, brush cleaner, mineral spirits, lacquer thinner, turpentine, acetone, gasoline, kerosene, etc.
CLEANING THE SPRAYER AFTER USE
The solution used to clean the sprayer is determined by
the type of material that has been sprayed. For anything
other than latex material, follow the material manufacturer’s
directions for appropriate clean-up.
To clean the sprayer for short term storage:
Unplug the sprayer.
If you haven’t already done so, remove the paint container
and return any unused paint or stain to its original
container.
Fill the paint container with lukewarm water (for water
based paints) or non-flammable solvent (for oil-based
paints or varnish, or any other non-flammable paint
thinner (following the use of oil-based products).
NOTE: For best results, clean the container first.
Reinstall the paint container.
Plug in the sprayer.
Spray the solution onto a piece of cardboard or other
scrap material. Continue spraying until all the solution is
used.
Unplug the sprayer.
Place a line of lubricant on the piston. To gain access to
the piston, follow the instructions in Cleaning the Sprayer
for Storage in the Maintenance section of this manual.
