f To get an even spray distribution, always keep your
arm at the same distance (Fig. I) from the surface you
are spraying and avoid moving your wrist (Fig. I1).
f Maintain smooth and consistent speed which will help
avoid inconsistencies. Begin spraying after the pass
has begun and release trigger before stopping the pass.
f Avoid spraying too heavily in any one area. Several
lighter coats are better than one heavy coat which can
lead to running and dripping. Remember that the flow
control knob regulates the amount of liquid that can
be sprayed. Turning the flow knob counterclockwise
increases the flow of liquid. Turning the knob clockwise
decreases the flow of liquid. If runs or drips do occur,
have a dry paint brush on hand to smooth them out.
Warning! Electric shock hazard. When spraying
overhead, never tip the sprayer more than 45 degrees. The
material being sprayed could leak into the motor housing.
Tip: If the atomizer valve is not seated properly, spray
material will leak from behind the spray nozzle. If material
is leaking, turn off and unplug sprayer from power source
immediately. Follow these steps to correct the problem:
f Check that the sprayer is unplugged from the
power source. Remove the spray nozzle by turning
counterclockwise (Fig. J). For the fan nozzle, remember
to push and turn counter - clockwise to remove.
f Remove the atomizer and check to see if it needs to
be cleaned or replaced. Also check inside the pump
housing for any debris or obstruction and clean if
necessary (Fig. J1).
f Replace the atomizer valve making sure it seats
properly (Fig. J2).
f Thread the spray nozzle back onto the sprayer by
turning clockwise (Fig. J3).
CLEANING
Warning! Be sure to use appropriate protective gear.
f Make sure clean up area is well ventilated and free of
flammable vapors.
f Always spray outdoors when spraying cleaning
solution through sprayer.
f Use drop cloths during pouring, mixing, and viscosity
testing of materials to be sprayed to protect your
floors and anything else in the spraying area that you
wish to remain untouched.
TO BEGIN CLEANING:
f Unplug the sprayer from the power source.
f Unscrew the lid from the side of the canister and pour
any remaining liquid back into the original container (Fig. K).
f Pour a small amount of the appropriate cleaning
solution into the canister (Fig. K1).
f Warm soapy water for water based materials.
f Manufacturers recommended cleaning solution for oil
based materials.
f Replace the lid on the canister securely and
vigorously shake the sprayer.
f Unscrew the lid from the side of the canister and
properly dispose of cleaning solution.
f Refill the canister with a small amount of new cleaning
solution (Fig. K1). Screw lid securely on canister.
f Plug in the cord and spray the cleaning solution
through the sprayer onto scrap material for 5 seconds
(Fig. K2).
f Unplug the sprayer from the power source.
f Properly dispose of cleaning solution.
f Remove the spray nozzle, by turning
counterclockwise, then remove the atomizer (Fig. K3).
Refer to Fig. C and C1.
f Unscrew the canister from the sprayer by turning the
collar as shown in Fig. K4.
f Remove the pickup tube and filter and o-ring from the
sprayer. Clean the parts with the cleaning brush in the
appropriate cleaning solution.
f Remove the front housing of the sprayer, by pressing
down on the release button and pulling the front
housing off of the sprayer (Fig. K5 and K6).
f Remove the piston and spring (Fig. K7).
f Clean the spray nozzle, pickup tube and filter,
atomizer, piston and spring with the cleaning brush in
the appropriate cleaning solution (Fig. K8).
f Thoroughly clean the inside of the piston chamber
with the cleaning brush (Fig. K9).
Important! Be sure to remove all material from inside
of piston chamber. A small amount of material that is not
removed with the cleaning brush can harden over time and
interfere with the movement of the piston causing damage
to the sprayer.
f Thoroughly clean the inside of the intake and return
openings with the cleaning brush (Fig. K10).
Important: Also thoroughly clean the smaller vent hole,
shown with an arrow in Fig. K11, with included cleaning pin.
f Dry all parts thoroughly.
REASSEMBLy
f Slide the spring onto the front of the piston (Fig. L).
f Insert the piston and spring into the front housing
(Fig. L1).
f Pressing down on the release button, insert the front
housing with piston, into the sprayer until the release
button pops into place (Fig. L2).
Notice: The unit will not reassemble with- out the
piston and spring in place.
f Place a few drops of oil through the cylinder opening.
Insert the atomizer valve into the front housing.
