reduces

the

risk

of

electric

shock

by

providing

an

escape

wire

for

the

electric

current.

This

product

is

equipped

with

a

cord

having a

grounding

wire

INTRODUCTION

SEARS AIRLESS SPRAYER

Your

new

Sears

electric

airless

sprayer

is a

precision

power

tool

that

can be used

for

spraying

many

types

of

materials. You

may

not

be

familiar

with

paint

spraying

equipment.

It is essential

that

you

read and

follow

this

instruction

manual

carefully.

Practice

with

the

sprayer

until

you

feel

comfortable

using

it.

Take

time

to

test

the

sprayability

of

your

paint

to

obtain

the best

atomization

and

spray

pattern. It's wise

to

inform

the

sales person when

you

buy

paint

that

you

intend

to

spray

it.

The

"AIRLESS"

principle

works

when

the

electromagnetic

motor

activates an

armature

which

pushes a piston

forward.

When

the

piston

is

pushed

back

by

the

piston

spring,

paint

flows

up

the

suction

tube

into

the

paint

chamber

due

to

the

partial

vacuum

in the

chamber.

When the

armature

pushes

the

piston

forward,

it

forces

the

paint

through

the

spray

nozzle,

causing

atomization.

By

turning

the

control

knob, the

piston

s~roke

is

changed,

resulting

in increased

or

decreased volume.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

•

An

electric

airless

paint

sprayer

pumps

paint

at

high

pressure.

Using

it

improperly

can

cause

serious

injury

by

paint

injection

into

the

skin.

•

In

case

of

accidental

injection,

contact

a

doctor

immediately

and

have

him

phone

the

Pittsburgh

National

Poison

Center

office

for

information

on

proper

treatment.

Phone

No.

412-681-6669

. .

•

Handle

your

sprayer

very

carefully.

NEVER

point

it

at

yourself

or

anyone

else.

The

sprayer

is

equipped

with

a

SAFETY

NOZZLE

GUARD.

It

provides

some

protection

against

accidental

injection

injuries,

but

is

primarily

a

warning

device

.

Never

put

your

hand,

fingers,

or

body

over

the

nozzle

guard.

•

Always

have

the

nozzle

guard

in

place

while

spraying

.

This

guard

is

to

remain

an

integral

part

of

this

sprayer

at

all

times.

•

Any

extension

cords

used

must

have

3

wires

of

at

least 18

gauge.

Plug

the

cord

or

extension

··

cord

into

a

3-wire

grounded

supply

circuit

ONLY.

Total

length

of

extension

cords

should

not

exceed

100 feet.

•

When

you

stop

spraying,

unplug

the

cord

to

prevent

accidental

spraying.

2

•

When

a

flammable

liquid

is

sprayed

there

may

be

danger

of

fire

or

explosion,

especially

in

a

closed

room

.

Ventilate

adequately

and

follow

the

paint

and

solvent

manufacturers'

safety

precautions

and

instructions.

•

Keep

the

sprayer

out

of

the

reach

of

chil~ren.

DO

NOT:

•

Do

not

run

your

sprayer

without

paint

or

fluid

in

it.

•

Do

not

switch

on

the

sprayer

if

the

pump

is

clogged.

(If

that

happens,

the

sound

will

change

to

a

low

hum

and

the

sprayer

will

heat

up

quickly.)

•

Do

not

spray

abrasive,

grainy

media

such

as

paints

containing

lime,

ground

chalk

or

cement

,

red

lead, glazes, etc.

All

these

in

.crease

wear

on

pump

and

nozzle.

•

Do

not

leave

your

sprayer

uncleaned

or

allow

paint

to

dry

in

the

pump.

A

dirty

sprayer

may

not

work

•

Do

not

store

the

sprayer

without

running

oil

through

the

pump.

(Oil

prevents

rusting

of

the

piston

and

cylinder.)

Use

any

light

oil

such

as

WD-40,

3-in-One,

or

equivalents.

•

Do

not

cross

the

threads

or

overtighten

when

replacing

the

nozzle

guard

on

the

sprayer.

BEFORE PAINTING

Before

you

start

painting

...

PRACTICE!

Because

this

is a

completely

new

kind

of

paint

sprayer, it is essential

that

you

practice

with

it

before

doing

an

actual

painting

job

-regardless

of

any

you

may

have. By

practicing,

you

will

make sure

that

your

first

job

will go

easily

and well. We

recommend

that

you

follow

the

procedure

below.

Professional

secret . . . test

your

sprayer

using

water

.

Water

is a

lot

cheaper

than

paint, and

if

you

make a

mistake, the

result

isn't

so messy. By

spraying

water

on

newspaper,

cardboard,

or

other

waste material,

you

can

get

the

"feel"

of

the

sprayer

and all its

operating

features.

Practice

until

you

feel

confident

you

have mastered

operating

the

sprayer

...

until

you

feel

completely

familiar

with

all the

working

parts.

While

you're

testing,

notice

in

particular

the

following:

•

The

difference

in

delivery

when

you

turn

the

contro

l

knob.

•

How

fast

the

paint

or

water

builds

up

on

the

0

working

surface

when

you

paint

without

moving

the

sprayer.

PREPARING PAINT FOR

SPRAYING

Proper

thinning

of

the

paint

is

the

secret

of

professional painters!

Painting

with

a

brush

or

roller

and

painting

by

spraying

are

two

very

different

methods.

Paints are

generally

made in

concentrations

for

application

by

brush and

must

be

diluted

for

spraying.

If

material

is

not

thinned

properly

your

sprayer

may

spit

and

will

not

atomize

properly.

When

you

thin

paint

to

spraying

consistency

use

appropriate

thinner

-

water

for

latex,

mineral

spirits

for

oil base

paints

(or

consult

the

instructions

on

the

paint

can

for

proper

thinner).

Refer

to

page

11

for

further

thinning

instructions

.

Correct

paint

atomization

pattern

looks

like

this.

This

problem

is

most

frequently

caused by the

pressure

being

too

low

for

the

viscosity

of

paint.

Adjust

the

control

knob.

This

problem

is

most

frequently

caused by

trying

to

spray

paint

that

hasn't been

thinned

properly.

~--CONTROL

KNOB

Moving

forward

or

backward

from

the

painting

surface

will

increase

or

decrease the

spray

pattern.

The

average

distance

from

the

surface

should

be

approximately

12

inches

.

Moving

back

too

far

will

cause

excessive overspray.

SPRAYING TECHNIQUES

1.

For best results

always

keep

sprayer

horizontal

to

and

at

equal

distance

from

the

painting

surface.

Move

the

sprayer

evenly

and steadily.

Slowing

down,

accelerating,

or

interrupting

the

smooth

rhythm

will

produce

irregular

surface

patterns, splashes, runs,

and

orange-peel

effects.

CORRECT

2.

Do

not

move

the

sprayer

by

flexing

your

wrist.

Move

it

with

a

smooth

swing

of

the

entire

arm

to

maintain

uniform

spacing

between

sprayer

and

surface.

\J 'V

if

WRONG

3.

Larger

surfaces

are best sprayed in a

cross-

hatch

pattern,

moving

in

steady

sweeps across

the

surface,

left

to

right

and return,

top

to

bottom

and

up

again.

Start

your

sweep

outside

the

working

area and

carry

past the end.

CORRECT

4.

To

avoid

runs

on vertical surfaces,

first

cover

them

with

a fine

mist

from

a

greater

distance,

then

finish

using

proper

spraying

techniques.

5.

When

working

on

horizontal

surfaces,

spray

away

from

you,

directing

the

spray

jet

at an

angle

of

about

45 degrees.

Any

particles

bouncing

forward

are then

covered

by

the

6.

Do

not

apply

too

much

paint

in a

single

pass

as

it

will

cause runs

and

streaks. Instead,

apply

a

thin

coat,

allow

this

to

dry, and

spray

on

a

second

coat.

7.

Any

section

not

to

be

sprayed

should

be

masked.

Window

panes

are

effectively

shielded

with

wet

newspaper.

CAUTION:

When a

flammable

liquid

is

sprayed

there

may be

danger

of

fire

or

explosion,

especially

in a closed room.

If

such

application

is necessary,

forced

ventilation

of

the

application

area

must

be

accomplished

and open flames,

such

as

heater

pilot

lights,

must

be

shut

off

during

application.

USEFUL ACCESSORIES

FLEXIBLE

EXTENSION

1.

For

spraying

at a steep

upward

or

downward

angle

or

vertically

(e.g., ceilings,

floors),

the

should

be used

(part

number

30-16312).

You can bend this device up,

down,

or

sideways

to

paint

ceilings

and

floors

or

reach

inaccessible places

such

and

auto

underbodies,

etc

.

To

attach,

unscrew

standard

nozzle and replace

with

flexible

extension. Be sure

both

spray

valves and nozzle are in place.

TROUBLESHOOTING

SEIZED ("FROZEN") PISTON

Improper

or

insufficient

cleaning

of

the

sprayer

can

cause

the

piston

to

seize.

Do

not

continue

to

press

the

trigger

when

only

a

low

humming

sound

is

heard, as

this

will

burn

out

the

motor

.

To

free a seized

piston,

unplug

gun,

dismantle

pump

parts,

and

immerse

them

in a

suitable

thinner

.

After

a

few

minutes

of

soaking,

clean all parts

with

a brush

until

all

traces

of

dried

paint

have been removed.

REPLACEMENT

OF

WEAR PARTS

There

are

many

different

paint

manufacturers

and

many

different

kinds

of

paint.

Some

paints

are

much

more

abrasive

than

others

and

will

cause

quicker

wear

of

parts.

The

nozzle,

spray

valve,

and

piston

are wear parts.

The

life

of

these parts

will

depend

on

the

abrasiveness

of

the

paint

sprayed.

Latex

paints

are

especially

abrasive

and

afterseveral

gallons

you

may

notice

the

paint

is

not

atomizing

as

well

and

the

sprayer

may

start

spitting.

When

this

happens

the

nozzle

orifice

has

become

too

large and

the

nozzle

should

be replaced.

The

spray

valve

should

be

checked

for

wear.

The

same effects

will

be

noticed

if

it has

worn.

Look

at

the

spray

valve

when

it

is new.

Examine

the

size

of

the

three

holes

on

the head, and

how

smooth

the

bumper

surface is.

When

the valve has

worn

the

holes

will

be

larger

and

the

bumper

will

be

worn

and

scratched.

If the nozzle has been

tightened

too

tight

the

spray

head

may

have

extruded

.

The

piston

does

not

wear

as

much

but

should

be

checked

periodically

for

scoring.

Replace

if

needed.

MINOR

REPAIRS:

Many

minor

repairs can be

done

by

you

w

it

hout

difficulty

,

such

as

replacing

nozzles,

worn

pistons

,

spray

valves,

and

general overall

cleaning

.

To

order

spare parts, see Parts

List

for

your

Sears

Airless

Sprayer, page 9.

MAJOR REPAIRS:

If

you

have any

problems

with

the

electrical

system

the

sprayer

should

be

returned

to

your

nearest

Sears store.

REMEMBER!

To

maintain

trouble-free

service

from

your

airless

sprayer, always

remember

to:

1.

Thin

material

properly

if

needed.

2.

Thoroughly

clean and oil

sprayer

after

each use.

3.

Use

proper

nozzle and

watch

for

nozzle

and

spray

valve

wear

.

THINNING

RECOMMENDATIONS

To

insure a

uniform

spray

pattern, it is necessary

to

thin

many

types

of

paint

or

stains before

they

are sprayed.

The

Optional

Viscosity

Test Cup,

accessory

30-16396, enables

you

to

thin

paint

precisely. It

works

on

the

simple

principle

that

thicker

(higher

vicosity) materialstake

longer

to

flow

through

a small

opening

than t

hinner

materials.

To

use it,

simply

fill the

cup

by

dipping

it

into

the paint, then

time

how

long

it takes

for

all the

paint

in

the

cup

to

run

out

through

the

hole

in the

bottom.

The

longer

ittakes,

the

higher

the

viscosity. Generally, latex

paints

should

be

thinned

until

they

empty

the

cup

in 80

to

85 seconds.

Other

materials

should

work

adequately

ifl h-e

viscosity

is

anywhere

between 70 and 110seconds. If

you

are

working

with

a

thin

material (less than 70 seconds),

you

may

need

to

use a

smaller

spraytip.

If

you

are using the Flexible Extension, 30-16312

or

the

Five-foot

Suction

Tube, 30-16315,

additional

thinning

may

be necessary. If

you

do

not

have a

Viscosity

Test Cup, use the

standby

method

of

trial and error.

Listed

below

is a general

thinning

guide

to

follow

when

preparing

to

spray. These are

only

recommendations

as

individual

paints vary in the

amount

of

thinning

required. You may

want

to

gradually

add

thinner

and

try

spraying

until

a

desirable

spray

pattern is achieved.

Experiment

by

spraying

against a

newspaper

which

has been attached

to

avertical surface

until

you

are satisfied

with

the

spray

pattern.

NOTE: When spraying thicker paints, you may get

better results by removing the suction tube filter basket.

However, do not remove the filter unless the paint you

are using

is

new and absolutely clean. Keep the can

covered to prevent dirt from blowing

or

falling into the

paint. The filter is important to keep damaging gritfrom
