Important Safety Information · Read all safety information before operating the equipment. Save these instructions.

To reduce the risks of fire or explosion, electrical shock and the injury to persons, read and understand all instructions included in this manual. Be familiar with the controls and proper usage of the equipment.

This symbol indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not not avoided could result in death or serious injury.

HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE

Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite, causing property damage and/or severe injury.

PREVENTION:

•Exhaust and fresh air introduction must be provided to keep the air within the work area free from accumulation of flammable vapors.

•Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity sparks, open flames, pilot lights, hot objects, cigarettes, and

sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords or working light switches.

•Fire extinguishing equipment must be present and in working order.

•Do not use materials with a flashpoint below 100° F (38° C). A fluid’s flashpoint is the temperature at which vapors from the fluid could ignite if exposed to a flame or spark. Consult your paint supplier for information about a fluid’s flashpoint.

•Keep the unit in a well ventilated location away from the work area.

The pump contains arcing parts which emit sparks.

HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS

Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other materials may be harmful if inhaled, causing severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.

PREVENTION:

•Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that vapors may be inhaled. Read all instructions with the mask to insure that it will provide the necessary protection against the inhalation of harmful vapors.

HAZARD: GENERAL

May cause property damage or severe injury.

PREVENTION:

•Read all instructions and safety precautions before operating any equipment. Never leave the unit running while unattended. Unplug whenever not in use.

•Never immerse the unit into any liquid.

•Comply with all appropriate local, state and national codes governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.

•This paint roller system is designed to be used with authorized parts only. When using this system with parts that do not comply with the minimum specifications and safety devices of the system manufacturer, the user assumes all risks and liabilities.

•Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion or bulging of cover or damage or movement of couplings. If any of these conditions exist, call Customer Service. Never repair a paint hose, replace it with a new one.

Additional warnings are contained on the tag molded to the electrical cord of the unit. Be sure to read this tag before operating the unit.

Specifications

Flow rate 8 - 20 oz. per minute Power source 120 VAC

Power requirement 60 Hz current.

Capability Most oil and water based paints and stains. Do not use with lacquers, lacquer thinners or any other solvent with a flash point below 100° F (38°C).

General Description

This high performance power roller is a precision power tool used for both interior and exterior painting and may be used with both water (latex) and oil based paints.

important: Use of oil-based paints must be limited to only those paints which can be cleaned with mineral spirits. Latex paints can be cleaned with soapy, lukewarm water. DO NOT use hot water when cleaning or flushing the unit.

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING - Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green grounding wire to either flat blade terminal.

The wire with insulation having a green outer surface with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire and must be connected to the grounding pin.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided. If the

plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in the figure below may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet as shown below can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear lug or the grounding wire extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

Extension Cord Selection

If an extension cord is used, make sure that it is of the 3-conductor type with NEMA connectors so a continuous grounding circuit is provided from the tool to the power circuit receptacle. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Also, be sure that the conductor size is large enough to prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power and possible motor damage to the unit. A 14 or 12 gauge cord is recommended.

If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-A following the cord type designation. For example, SJTW-A to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.

Helpful Painting Tips

Prepping the Room

Remove all pictures, mirrors, and decorations from the walls and draperies from the windows. Remove all nails, hardware and switch and receptacle covers. Cover furniture and floor with drop cloths.

Surface Preparation

•Always remove wallpaper before painting. Wash off old adhesive and rinse with water. Allow the walls to dry before painting.

•Wash and rinse dirt, grease and oil build-up off the walls with soap and water.

•Fill all nail holes, joints and cracks with patching paste. Let dry and sand the surface until smooth. Clean sanded area with a damp cloth.

•Spot prime all patched areas and any marker and/or pen marks before applying first coat.

*TIP: Write the important information from your paint can -- color, formula, brand and paint type -- on the back of a switch plate for future reference.

Painting the Room

*TIP: If you need more than one gallon of paint to do the room’s walls, mix them together to ensure color uniformity.

•Always make sure to open a window or door to ensure proper ventilation. If you are painting both the ceiling and walls in your room, start with the ceiling first and then move to the walls.

Ceilings:

•To minimize spills and spatters, use the spatter guard and paint across the short width of the ceiling.

Walls:

•Tape off around base and window and door trim.

•Paint one wall at a time.

•Pick an area to start where you can saturate the roller cover and evenly distribute the paint. Working in three-foot sections, begin by cutting-in around windows, doors, cabinets, base and other breaks in the wall surface with a pad or brush.

•Press the handle button until paint appears through the roller cover.

•Start painting at one end of a wall and roll out the letter “W”. Fill it in with crosswise strokes, working your way across the wall in 3’ x 3’ sections. Finish the sections by painting one solid swipe from ceiling to floor. This will give you a nice even paint finish.

•Press the handle button as needed for more paint. Be careful not to over-saturate the roller cover as it may drip, slide on the wall or spatter.

•Make sure to run the roller cover over the areas you cut-in around the trim and baseboards to even out the texture.

•If you need to stop and take a break; finish painting the entire wall, or stop at a break in the wall such as a doorway or corner to prevent lap marks.

Changing accessories:

•When removing or changing any accessories from the roller handle, it is likely that some material will drip from the handle and the accessory.

•Turn the variable speed dial to 0 (OFF) prior to removing any accessories or components, and make sure your floors and furnishings are protected from dripping paint.

•To minimize dripping material from the handle and accessories, follow the steps below.

1.Press the quick-release tabs on the handle (or the extension).

2.Pull the handle and the accessory apart, making sure to keep the connecting ends pointed up.
