Maintain smooth and consistent speed which will help
u
avoid inconsistencies. Begin spraying after the pass has
begun and release trigger before stopping the pass.
Avoid spraying too heavily in any one area. Several lighter
u
coats are better than one heavy coat which can lead to
running and dripping. Remember that the flow control
knob regulates the amount of liquid that can be sprayed.
Turning the flow knob clockwise increases the flow of
liquid. Turning the knob counterclockwise decreases the
flow of liquid. If runs or drips do occur, have a dry paint
brush on hand to smooth them out.
Turn the power unit off and place the sprayer in the built-in
u
dock of the power unit when not spraying for any length of
time.
Maintenance and cleaning
Your Black & Decker corded appliance has been designed to
operate over a long period of time with a minimum of main-
tenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon
proper appliance care and regular cleaning.
Warning! Be sure to use appropriate personal protective
equipment.
Warning! Before performing any maintenance or cleaning on
corded appliances switch off and unplug the appliance.
Warning! Do not use materials with a flashpoint lower than
55°C. Flashpoint is the temperature that a fluid can produce
enough vapours to ignite (see paint supplier instructions).
Warning! Make sure clean up area is well ventilated and free
of flammable vapours.
Warning! Always spray outdoors when spraying cleaning
solution through sprayer.
Warning! Do not submerse power unit.

(Original instructions)
Cleaning the sprayer (fig. O - S)
Disconnect the sprayer from the power supply.
u
Remove the side fill canister (6) and unscrew the side
u
lid (7). Remove the check valve (18), pickup tube (15)
and o-ring (17) from the sprayer. Clean the parts in the
appropriate cleaning solution (fig. O).
Unscrew the tip collar (19) and remove the spray nozzle
u
(10) and spray tip (20). Clean all parts in the appropriate
cleaning solution (fig. P).
If using water based material, clean the sprayer by running
u
water through pickup tube inlet. If using oil based materi-
als, clean pickup tube inlet with the appropriate cleaning
solution. Repeat until sprayer is completely clean. Take
special care to gently clean the spraying needle (21).
Dry all parts thoroughly.
u
Properly dispose of cleaning solution.
u
Place a drop of household oil onto the metal ball in the
u
check valve (18) (fig. Q).
Important : Lubricating the ball in check valve (18), after
cleanup, will help to prevent it from sticking which can clog the
valve and prevent adequate flow of spray material.
Note : When reassembling, place metal ball end of check
valve (18) into sprayer.
Reassemble sprayer (fig. S).
u
Note : The spray tip (20) can only go in one way. The notch
(22) on the spray tip must align with the recess in the threads
of the sprayer (fig. R).
Cleaning the power unit
Disconnect the sprayer from the power supply.
u
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the power
u
unit.
Warning! Never let any liquid get inside the power unit.
Warning! Never immerse any part of the power unit into a
liquid.
Cleaning the filter
The power unit contains a washable/reusable filter (fig. T).
Check the filter before and after each use. If dirty, wash with
warm water and allow to air dry before re-installing or replace
if necessary.
To check the filter, remove the filter cover (11) by removing
u
the 2 screws from the top of the filter cover then pulling
the cover off the power unit.
Remove the filter (23) and inspect.
