OPERATION To change direction of wide fan tip:  Slightly loosen the wide fan tip by rotating counter- clockwise 1/4 turn.  Rotate the adjusting arm 1/4 turn in the direction needed to switch the direction of the tip spray.  While holding the adjusting arm in position, rotate the wide fan tip clockwise until securely tightened. WARNING: To reduce the risk of injection, do not point sprayer at any part of the body or person. In case of skin injection, seek medical attention immediately. Do not use without spray tip in place. NOTE: For spray quality consistency when using thinner paints, it may be necessary to keep the trigger depressed between strokes.  When finished, remove the battery pack, return any unused paint or stain to its original container, and thoroughly clean the sprayer. caution: It is important to thoroughly clean the sprayer after each use or when changing colors. Allowing paint or stain to remain in an idle tool for an extended period can cause its moving pieces to seize up. Operating the sprayer See Figures 6 - 9, page 13.  Place a line of lubricant on the piston. To gain access to the piston, follow the instructions in Cleaning the Sprayer for Storage in the Maintenance section of this manual. WARNING: Do not clean with any flammable liquids such as paint stripper, paint remover, brush cleaner, mineral spirits, lacquer thinner, turpentine, acetone, gasoline, kerosene, etc.  Ensure surface to be painted is free of dust, dirt, and grease.  Mask or cover any areas not intended to be painted or stained. Be aware of wind that may cause your paint or stain to spray into areas not desired. Always use drop cloths or other cover to protect areas that are not intended to be painted or stained.  Fill the quick-lock container with no more than 1 quart of desired paint or stain. NOTE: After every 4 refills of the quick-lock container, add a line of lubricant to the piston. See Cleaning the Sprayer for Storage for instructions on disassembling the sprayer to gain access to the piston.  Select the proper spray tip for desired spray pattern.  Install the battery pack in the sprayer.  Pull the switch trigger to spray paint. Release the switch trigger to stop paint spray.  Practice spraying on a piece of scrap material to test your spray pattern and to prime the pump before beginning. If you cannot get a good spray pattern with an even amount of paint or stain throughout, refer to the Troubleshooting section later in this manual. cleaning the sprayer after use The solution used to clean the sprayer is determined by the type of material that has been sprayed. For anything other than latex material, use Klean-Strip® Revolutionary White Formula Paint Thinner, Klean-Strip® Green Safer Paint Thinner, Crown® Paint Thinner NEXT, or any other non-flammable paint thinner (following the use of oil-based products). Follow the material manufacturer's directions for appropriate clean-up. To clean the sprayer for short term storage:  Remove the battery pack from the sprayer.  If you haven't already done so, remove the paint container and return any unused paint or stain to its original container.  Fill the paint container with lukewarm water (following the use of latex products) or Klean-Strip® Revolutionary White Formula Paint Thinner, Klean-Strip® Green Safer Paint Thinner, Crown® Paint Thinner NEXT, or any other non-flammable paint thinner (following the use of oil-based products).  Reinstall the paint container. NOTE: The pump must be primed after every paint change and at first use after storing. Spray paint at a scrap surface for at least 20 seconds to prime.  To create an even coating over the entire surface:  Install the battery pack in the sprayer.  Spray the solution onto a piece of cardboard or other scrap material. Continue spraying until all the solution is used. • Move your arm at a steady rate of speed and make sure to move your entire arm, not just your wrist. • Keep the sprayer an even distance from the area being sprayed, which should be between 8 to10 inches from the tip of the sprayer to the surface being sprayed. • Depress the trigger to begin the spray off the material you want to paint. Operate the sprayer in straight horizontal or vertical strokes across the surface being painted, then release the trigger off the material to end the stroke.  Remove the battery pack from the sprayer.  Place a line of lubricant on the piston. To gain access to the piston, follow the instructions in Cleaning the Sprayer for Storage in the Maintenance section of this manual.  Use a damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the sprayer. The unit is now ready to put away. 9 - English
