CLEANING SPRAY GUN
CLEANING FILTER IN GUN HANDLE
Immediately after the work is finished, flush the gun out with
a solvent. Brush pins with solvent and oil them lightly so they
will not collect dried paint.
To clean the filter, use a brush dipped in an appropriate
solvent. Change or clean filters at least once a day. Some
types of latex may require a filter change after four hours
of operation.

hose by following the "Pressure Relief Procedure." Secure
gun with the safety latch, take off guard, take out the tip,
soak in appropriate solvent & clean with a brush. (Do not
use a needle or sharp pointed instrument to clean the tip.
The tungsten carbide is brittle and can chip.)
