WARNING:
Risk of fire or explosion. Spray area must be well-venti- lated and away from sparks or flames.
FILLING SPRAYER WITH PAINT/STAIN
See Figures 3 - 4, page 12.
Remove and discard any skin that has formed on top of the paint or stain, then thoroughly mix the material in its original container before beginning.
NOTE: Older containers of stain and paint may need to be strained before use.
Unplug the sprayer.
Remove the quick-lock container by twisting counterclockwise so that the arrow on the container lines up with the “unlock” symbol on the lid.
Fill the container with paint or stain as desired. Do not fill above the max fill (1.5 qt.) mark on the container.
Reinstall the container on the sprayer and twist clockwise so that the arrow on the container lines up with the “lock” symbol on the lid.
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.
8 — English
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.

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.
Use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the sprayer. The unit is now ready to put away.
