USER MANUAL PAINTMATE PLUS WAGNER

Set the switch to APPLY Mettre le commutateur à la position APPLY Coloque el interruptor en APPLY BEFORE YOU BEGIN It is a good idea to have drop cloths protecting your floors and anything else in the room that you do not want accidentally splattered with paint.

1. Slide the small end of the fill tube through the hole in the can lid.

2. Attach the can lid securely to the paint can.

NOTE: Make sure the type of paint you use can be cleaned with either mineral spirits (for oilbased paints) or a warm water and soap solution (for latex paints).

Some oil-based paints require a stronger cleaning solution than mineral spirits and should not be used with the

PaintMate® Plus. Using a cleaning solution stronger than mineral spirits may cause damage to the PaintMate® Plus. Check with your paint supplier to be sure the oil-based paint you have can be cleaned with mineral spirits.

NOTE: Applying a thin coat of petroleum jelly to the end of the fill tube will help the PaintMate®

Plus slide easily off the fill tube.

ASSEMBLING THE PAINTMATE® PLUS

1. Assemble core, roller cover and cap. Then attach assembly to the arm, making sure the roller assembly snaps into the locking tab.

3. Turn the switch on the main handle to FILL.

5. Pull the plunger to draw the paint into the main tube.

2. Press the quick-release tabs on the unit and attach the arm to the handle.

CLEANING THE ROLLER ASSEMBLY

NOTE: When using either method, do not oversaturate the roller. An oversaturated roller will slide, drip, and spatter excessively.

3. Place spatter shield, roller cover, cap and core in a bucket with the appropriate cleaning solution.

Because priming the roller may use a lot of the paint in the main tube, you may need to refill the main tube after priming. Once paint appears through the roller cover, begin rolling. Keep paint flowing to the roller by squeezing the trigger as necessary.

Refill as necessary to complete project.

NOTE: Make sure your floors and furnishings are protected from dripping paint when removing or disassembling the roller assembly.
