ADJUSTING THE SPRAY PATTERN
By turning the wings of the tip, the Finish Max Super Fine Finish Sprayer sprays in one
of three patterns: horizontal, vertical, or cone. (See Figure D.) DO NOT engage the
trigger while turning the tip, and be sure not to spray toward you, as this could cause
injury. (See Figure C & D)
SPRAYING INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: Do not twist electrical cord. Make sure heavy objects are not placed on it.
Keep electrical cord away from heat and sharp objects. To avoid a tripping hazard,
make sure cord is not in a heavy traffic area. Do not use the cord if it is damaged.
Use appropriate breathing protection, eye protection, gloves and clothing.
1. Make sure the container is empty and dry.
2. Pour paint or stain into the container.
3. Be sure the pick-up tube is inserted tightly in the intake port and the tube’s angle
is as you want it. (Figure E.)
4. Affix the container to the sprayer by turning the container counterclockwise.
5. Refer back to “Practice First” on page 6 and do this process again, this time to
adjust the flow rate not to the water you used to practice but to the material now
in the container. If, after making adjustments, you still are not satisfied with the
spray pattern, refer to TROUBLESHOOTING on page 9.
6. Hold the sprayer 10 to 12 inches from the surface to be painted. While the angled
pick-up tube permits you to spray in an upward or downward direction, try to tilt
the sprayer as little as possible. Do not tip more than 45 degrees when motor is
switched off.
7. Overlap each stroke by about 1/3 of the spray pattern.
NOTE: If you stop spraying for 30 minutes or longer: Before continuing, retest the
spray pattern by spraying on newspaper or cardboard. If you are unable to adjust the
spray pattern properly, it is possible the stain or paint material has started to dry. If
this happens, clean the sprayer. See CLEAN UP INSTRUCTIONS.
NOTE: If the spray pattern still is not correct, you may need to thoroughly clean the
spray tip and pick-up tube. To keep the unit spraying properly, you should expect
to clean it after dispensing five to nine gallons of paint or stain. After cleaning,
reassemble the parts.
