SPECIAL CLEANUP INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE WITH FLAMMABLE
SOLVENTS:
• Always flush spray gun, preferably outside, at a hose length from motor base.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Cleaning area must be well ventilated.
1) Turn the motor base OFF.
2) Trigger the spray gun so that the material inside the spray gun flows back into the container.
3) Unscrew the container. Empty any remaining material back into the paint container.
4) Pour a small amount of the appropriate cleaning solution into the cup (warm, soapy water
for latex materials; mineral spirits for oil-based materials). Clean cup and properly dispose of
cleaning solution.
5) Again pour a small amount of the appropriate cleaning solution into the cup.
6) Attach the cup to the gun, turn on the motor base, and spray the solution through the gun
for 20 seconds in a safe area or until the solution looks clean. Properly dispose of remaining
cleaning solution.
7) Turn motor base OFF.
8) Wipe the exterior of the cup and gun until clean.
9) Unscrew the nut and remove the spray pattern dial and nozzle.
10) Clean the container, suction tube, spray pattern dial and nozzle with a cleaning brush and
the appropriate cleaning solution. When cleaning the spray gun, completely disassemble per
diagram below.

Never clean nozzle or air holes in the spray gun with sharp
metal objects.
TOP TIPS
• Always test spray onto cardboard to set up the gun, as the flow rate will vary depending on
what you are spraying.
• Evenly control the speed of movement of the spray gun. A fast speed will give a thin coat and a
slow speed will give a heavy coat.
• If spraying small areas or objects, keep the paint flow dial low, as this will avoid excessive use
of paint and will minimize over-spray.
• Avoid stopping and starting when spraying a surface, as this can lead to too much or not
enough material on a surface.
• To ensure edges are covered, start spraying just to the side or above/below the area being
sprayed.
• If using a latex paint, regularly wipe the needle tip to ensure airflow and paint flow are not
restricted.
• Do not spray outside when humidity is above 60% or temperature is above 90°F or below 45°F.
