FAILuRE:
do not use damaged
equipment. If abnormal noise
or vibration occurs, have the
problem corrected before
further use.
Inspection, Maintenance, and
Cleaning
BEFORE EACH uSE, 1. inspect the
general condition of the Paint Sprayer
and its accessories. Check for loose
screws, misalignment or binding of
moving parts, cracked or broken
parts, damaged electrical wiring/air
hose, and any other condition that
may affect its safe operation.
IMPORTANT:
2. The Spray Gun must
be cleaned immediately after each
use. Improper cleaning is a com-
mon reason for the Spray Gun not
to operate properly. Materials dry
quickly which will render the Spray
Gun useless. It is extremely difficult
to remove dry paint/fluid from small
passages within the Gun.
SOLVENT SELECTION:
3. Always fol-
low the paint/fluid manufacturer’s rec-
ommendations for cleaning, solvent
type, and disposing of used solvent.
Oil-based paints/fluids: Use mineral •
spirits.
Latex (water-based) paints/fluids:
•
Use warm, soapy water.
IMPORTANT: Do not use min-
•
eral spirits on latex (water-based)
paints/fluids or the mixture will
congeal, making it very difficult to
remove.
If a flammable solvent is used, ad-
•
here to the following: (1) Follow all
of the solvent manufacturer’s clean
up instructions and safety precau-
tions at all times. (2) If collecting
flushed solvents into a metal con-
tainer, transfer into a larger non-
metal container, and flush the metal
container.
AFTER uSE: 4.
Empty the Cup (27), and clean it •
with solvent for oil-based paint/fluid
or soap and water for water-based
paint/fluid.
Fill the Cup (27) with solvent (or
•
water) and spray it through the
Gun into a container while shaking
the Gun. Once the Cup is empty,
repeat the process until the solvent/
water comes out clean.
Turn the Power Switch (33) to its
•
“OFF” position and disconnect from
