CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
Remember to disconnect the unit from the mains power when undertaking any cleaning of the Spray Port.
THE SPRAY APPLICATOR MUST BE THOROUGHLY CLEANED IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. IF THE
PAINT DRIES INSIDE THE GUN, CLEANING WILL BECOME MUCH MORE DIFFICULT AND MAY RENDER
THE GUN INOPERABLE. THIS IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
The spray applicator is the same as a paintbrush, if it is not cleaned it will go hard and can become useless.
You must therefore clean this out after use.
