Installation
Grounding and Electric
Requirements
Sprayer must be grounded. Grounding reduces
the risk of static and electric shock by providing an
escape wire for electrical current due to static build
up or in the event of a short circuit.
• The 120 Vac
sprayers require a
120 Vac, 60 Hz,
15A circuit with a
grounding
receptacle.
• Never use an outlet
that is not grounded
or an adapter.
• Do not use the sprayer if the
electrical cord has a
damaged ground prong.
• Only use an extension cord
with an undamaged 3-prong
plug.
Recommended extension cords for use with
this sprayer:
• 50 ft (15.0 m) 16 AWG (1.0 mm2)
• 100 ft (30.0 m) 14 AWG (1.5 mm2)
Spray gun:ground through connection to a prop-
erly grounded fluid hose and pump.
Fluid supply container:follow local code.
Solvent pails used when flushing: follow local
code. Use only conductive metal pails, placed on a
grounded surface such as concrete. Do not place
the pail on a nonconductive surface, such as paper
or cardboard, which interrupts grounding continuity.
Grounding the metal pail: connect a ground wire
to the pail by clamping one end to pail and other
end to ground such as a water pipe.
Maintaining grounding
continuity when flush-
ing or relieving pres-
sure: hold metal part of
the spray gun firmly to the
side of a grounded metal
pail, then trigger the gun.
Thermal Overload
Motor has a thermal overload switch to shut itself
down if overheated. If unit overheats, allow approx-
imately 45 minutes for unit to cool. Once cool,
switch will close and unit will restart.
WLD
WLD
Smaller gauge or longer extension cords may
reduce sprayer performance.
To reduce the risk of injury from motor starting
unexpectedly when it cools, always turn power
switch OFF if motor shuts down.

Spraying Techniques
Preventing Excessive Tip Wear
• Spray should be atomized (evenly distributed,
no gaps at edges). Start at low pressure set-
ting, increase pressure a little at a time until you
see a good spray pattern, without tails.
• Spray at lowest pressure that atomizes paint.
• If maximum sprayer pressure is not enough for
a good spray pattern, tip is too worn. See
Reversible Spray Tip Selection Chart, page 16.
Adjusting Pressure
Align setting indicator on AllControl with function,
page 8.
• LOW SPRAY provides the
lowest pressure for
spraying.
• HIGH SPRAY increases
pressure.
Unclogging Spray Tip
To avoid fluid splashback:
• Tip must be pushed all the way into guard.
• Never pull gun trigger when arrow-shaped han-
dle is between SPRAY and UNCLOG positions.
1. To UNCLOG tip obstruction,
engage trigger lock.
2. Point arrow-shaped handle
backward to UNCLOG posi-
tion.
3. Aim gun at piece of scrap or cardboard.
4. Unlock trigger lock. Pull trigger
to clear clog.
5. When obstruction is cleared,
lock trigger lock and rotate
arrow-shaped handle back to
SPRAY position.
Point the arrow-shaped handle on the spray tip for-
ward to SPRAY and backward to UNCLOG
obstructions.
If tails persist when spraying at the highest
pressure, a smaller tip is needed or the
material may need to be thinned.

Choosing the Correct Tip for the Job
Consider coating and surface to be sprayed. Make sure you use best tip hole size for that coating and best
fan width for that surface.
Tip Selection
Selecting Tip Hole Size
• Tip hole size controls flow rate - the amount of
paint that comes out of the gun.
HINTS:
• Use larger tip hole sizes with thicker coatings
and smaller tip hole sizes with thinner coatings.
• Maximum tip hole sizes supported by sprayer is
0.015 in. (0.38 mm).
• Tips wear with use and need periodic replace-
ment.
• Tips come in a variety of hole sizes for spraying
a range of fluids. Your sprayer includes an
0.015 in (0.38 mm) tip for use in most spraying
applications. Use the following table to deter-
mine the range of recommended tip hole sizes
for each fluid type. If you need a tip other than
the one supplied, see the Reversible Tip Selec-
tion Chart on page 16.
HINTS:
• As you spray, the tip wears and enlarges. Start-
ing with a tip hole size smaller than the maxi-
mum will allow you to spray within the rated flow
capacity of the sprayer.
• Maximum tip hole sizes supported by sprayer is
0.015 in. (0.38 mm).
Fan Width
Fan width is the size of the spray pattern, which determines the area covered with each stroke. Narrower
fans deliver a thicker coat, and wider fans deliver a thinner coat.
HINTS:
• Select a fan width best suited to the surface
being sprayed.
• Wider fans allow provide better coverage on
broad, open surfaces.
• Narrower fans provide better control on
small, confined surfaces.

Getting Started With Basic Techniques
312079A 17
Getting Started With Basic Techniques
Use the Practice Spray Board to practice these basic spraying techniques before you begin spraying the
surface.
• Hold gun 12 in. (30 cm) from surface and aim
straight at surface. Tilting gun to direct spray
angle causes an uneven finish.
• Flex wrist to keep gun pointed straight. Fanning
gun to direct spray at angle causes uneven
finish.
Triggering Gun
Pull trigger after starting stroke. Release trigger
before end of stroke. Gun must be moving when
trigger is pulled and released.
Aiming Gun
Aim tip of gun at bottom edge of previous stroke,
overlapping each stroke by half.

Rolling
Setup
• Before assembling roller, follow Priming
instructions, beginning on page 9 for Hopper
Method or page 12 for Immersion Method.
• After priming, only paint should come out of
spray gun. Water in hose line will cause paint to
run.
1. Set AllControl to lowest
ROLL setting.
2. If installed, remove tip and
guard assembly from gun.
3. Make sure gasket is in
place in bottom of roller
frame.
4. Rest roller on flat surface
and align gun with roller.
Tighten nut with wrench
while keeping gun and
roller aligned.
5. Unlock gun trigger safety. Trig-
ger gun. Roll surface until paint
is fully dispersed on roller. This
may take a minute.
6. Increase pressure only if triggering gun does
not supply enough paint for your rolling speed.
7. Whenever you stop painting, relieve pressure,
page 7and elevate roller end of extension tube
to prevent paint from draining out.
8. Flush the pump, gun and pressure roller imme-
diately after each use to prevent paint from dry-
ing in the pressure roller and damaging it. See
Shutdown and Cleaning, beginning on page 20.
ti9170a
ti9339a

Rolling Techniques
1. Rolling vertically, roll
out the letter “M”.
2. Cross roll,
horizontally, to
spread paint.
3. Finish with light, vertical
strokes until the entire area
has been covered evenly.
Ceilings, Walls and Woodwork
1. Ceilings: Using a paint
brush, apply a starting row
of paint approximately the
width of your paint brush
where the walls and
ceiling meet.
2. With the roller apply paint
to the ceiling, working the
short way of the room and
applying as wide a strip as
possible.
1. Walls and Woodwork:
Using a brush, paint
woodwork first. Apply a
