A generic category for paint sprayers, including airless, HVLP, and pneumatic sprayers designed for efficient, even paint application on various surfaces.
A paint sprayer is a specialized tool used to apply paint, stains, and clear finishes rapidly and evenly over surfaces. Common types include airless paint sprayers, which pump paint at high pressure for broad coverage; HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) sprayers, which offer precision and a fine finish for detailed work; and pneumatic sprayers powered by compressed air.
These devices drastically reduce painting time for both large-scale contracting jobs and home DIY projects, providing a smooth finish without brush marks. Browse our collection of user manuals for proper setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting of various paint sprayer models.

Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Airless sprayers use high pressure to atomize paint for fast, broad coverage, while HVLP uses a high volume of air at low pressure for greater precision and less overspray.
It depends on the sprayer type and the paint. Many airless sprayers can handle unthinned latex paint, while HVLP sprayers often require thinning for smooth flow.
Clean your sprayer immediately after use by flushing the system with the appropriate solvent (water for water-based paints, mineral spirits for oil-based) and carefully cleaning the spray tips and filters.
Spitting or sputtering usually occurs if the fluid tip is partially clogged, the paint is too thick, or there is air trapped in the pump. Check your filters, clean the tip, and ensure the pump is properly primed.
