Setup Instructions

2. Prepare Paint Can: Open your paint can. If using a 5-gallon bucket, transfer paint to a 1-gallon can for easier filling, as the fill tube is sized for 1-gallon cans.
3. Attach Fill Tube: Attach the provided fill tube to the side of your paint can.

5. Load Paint: Pull back on the plunger at the end of the EZ Roller handle to draw paint into the clear tube. Fill to the desired level, up to 22 oz.

Operating Instructions

1. Dispense Paint: Once the roller is loaded with paint, gently squeeze the trigger on the handle. This will directly feed paint to the roller cover.
2. Apply to Surface: Begin rolling on your wall or ceiling. The PaintStick EZ Roller provides continuous paint flow, allowing for smooth and even coverage.
3. Maintain Flow: Continue to squeeze the trigger as needed to maintain a consistent paint supply to the roller cover. Avoid over-squeezing to prevent drips or excessive paint application.
4. Extended Reach: Utilize the long handle for high areas. The design reduces the need for ladders or step stools for standard 8 ft. ceilings.
