Setup and Assembly
- Charge the Battery: Insert the 4.0Ah battery into the 2A quick charger and allow it to fully charge before first use.
- Attach Battery: Once charged, slide the battery onto the base of the paint sprayer until it clicks into place.
- Select Nozzle: Choose the appropriate nozzle size (1.5mm, 1.8mm, 2.2mm, or 2.6mm) based on the material viscosity and desired spray pattern. One nozzle is pre-installed.
- Install Nozzle: Twist off the front cap of the sprayer, insert the selected nozzle, and re-secure the cap.
- Prepare Material: Fill the 34 fl oz (1000 ml) paint container with your desired paint, stain, or primer. Ensure the material is properly thinned according to the paint manufacturer's instructions and tested for viscosity using the included viscosity cup.
- Attach Container: Screw the filled paint container securely onto the sprayer body.

Operating Instructions
- Adjust Air Flow: Use the red dial at the back of the sprayer to adjust the air flow. Higher numbers typically provide more air for thicker materials.
- Select Spray Pattern: Rotate the orange ear tabs on the front of the nozzle to switch between wide (horizontal or vertical) and narrow (round) spray patterns.
- Test Spray: Before applying to your project, always test the spray pattern and flow on a scrap piece of material. Adjust air flow and spray pattern as needed to achieve an even, consistent coat.
- Apply Material: Hold the sprayer approximately 6-12 inches from the surface. Press the trigger to begin spraying, moving the sprayer in smooth, even strokes. Overlap each pass by about 50% for uniform coverage.
- Minimize Over-spraying: The speed control feature helps to evenly dispense paint and reduce over-spraying. Practice on scrap material to find the optimal settings for your project.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper cleaning after each use is crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of your paint sprayer.
- Empty Container: Remove the paint container and empty any remaining material.
- Initial Rinse: Fill the container with clean water (for water-based paints) or appropriate cleaning solution (for oil-based paints). Reattach the container and spray the cleaning liquid through the sprayer until it runs clear. Repeat if necessary.
- Disassemble: Detach the paint container, nozzle, and other removable parts.
- Thorough Cleaning: Use the included wire brush and declogging needle to clean the nozzle, fluid tube, and any other parts that came into contact with paint. The garden hose adapter can be used for a more convenient rinse of the main sprayer head.
- Dry and Store: Ensure all components are thoroughly dry before reassembling or storing the sprayer. Store in a clean, dry place.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No spray or weak spray | Clogged nozzle, insufficient material, low battery, material too thick. | Clean nozzle, refill container, charge battery, thin material to correct viscosity. |
| Uneven spray pattern / Splattering | Incorrect air flow setting, material too thick/thin, incorrect nozzle for material, clogged nozzle. | Adjust air flow dial, adjust material viscosity, select appropriate nozzle, clean nozzle. |
| Paint leaking from sprayer | Loose connections, damaged seals, overfilling container. | Ensure all parts are securely tightened, check seals for damage and replace if necessary, do not overfill. |
| Battery drains quickly | Battery not fully charged, old battery, continuous heavy use. | Ensure battery is fully charged before use. Consider having a spare battery for larger projects. Replace old batteries if capacity is significantly reduced. |
