Before you Begin
Important Preparation Tips:
Selecting the Proper Spray Tip:
• It is important to mix the material thoroughly before you begin. Do not shake the material to mix it. Always stir the material
gently but thoroughly before use.
• Remove any skin that has formed on the top of the material. Do not mix the skin into the material. The skin can break up
and clog the sprayer. Older paint may need to be strained.
It is important that you use the proper spray tip based on your type of spraying job and the type of material you plan to spray.
Read below for details.
IMPORTanT: Make sure to tighten all spray tips firmly by hand. If the spray tip is not tightened firmly enough, the
sprayer could leak or the tip could be damaged. do not use a tool to tighten the spray tip. If the tip is too tight, it may be
damaged.
IMPORTanT: Use only Optimus™-labeled spray tips with this sprayer. Other tips are not compatible with this sprayer.
Optimus™ Spray Tip (included)
An Optimus™ spray tip produces a wide pattern that can be
adjusted horizontally or vertically.
To adjust:
1. Make sure the sprayer is unplugged and that spray tip is
sufficiently hand-tightened.
2. Orient the spray tip to achieve your desired spray
pattern.
a. If you plan to spray horizontally (side to side), orient
the spray tip as shown in (a).
b. If you plan to spray vertically (up and down), orient
the spray tip as shown in (b).
(a)

Round Tip (sold separately)
A round tip produces a round pattern. Use a round tip if the
surface you are spraying is too small for use with the wide
angle tip.
A round tip is available at your local retailer.
Stain Tip (sold separately)
The stain tip has a specially designed opening for use with thin
materials such as thin stains, sealers and waterproofers, and
can be adjusted to reduce overspray. If you did not receive a
stain tip and will be spraying one of these materials, the tip can
be purchased at your local retailer.
The stain tip pattern is round with a fine spray. To adjust
the spray pattern size and coarseness, turn the tip slightly
counterclockwise to narrow the pattern and make the spray
more coarse. Turn the tip slightly clockwise to widen the
pattern and make the spray more fine.
