Frequently Asked Questions - Power Roller Max Wagner SprayTech

How do I prime the Power Roller Max before painting?

Set the speed dial to 9 (roller) or 1-2 (pad). Fully press and release the handle button to start the motor. Once paint beads on the surface, press and release to stop.

What types of paint can I use with this device?

The device is compatible with oil-based or water-based (latex) paints and stains. Do not use lacquers, thinners, or solvents with a flash point below 38 °C (100 °F).

How do I clean the device after using latex paint?

Follow the Quick-clean™ procedure if you have a garden hose: empty the paint, connect the hose to the Quick-clean™ adapter, circulate water, then purge with the motor. Otherwise, use the alternative method with 4 liters of warm soapy water.

What should I do if the pump does not start?

Check that the cord is plugged into a 120 V outlet, the speed dial is not at 0, and the handle button has been pressed. If the problem persists, contact customer service.

How do I change the accessory (roller or pad)?

Set the speed dial to 0 (OFF) and unplug. Press the quick-release tabs on the handle, remove the accessory while holding the connector vertical to minimize drips.

Why isn't paint reaching the roller?

Possible causes: suction tube bent, clogged, or not sufficiently immersed; empty container; missing or dirty Quick-clean™ inlet filter. Check and correct according to the troubleshooting table.

How do I use the paint flow reverser?

To purge the hose after painting, set the reverser to REVERSE, adjust speed to 9, then start the motor for 2-3 minutes. This sends paint back into the container.

Can I use an extension cord?

Yes, use a 3-conductor grounded extension cord. For 100 ft length, use 14 gauge; for 150 ft, use 12 gauge. For outdoor use, the cord must be marked W-A.

How do I maintain the seals and joints?

After each use, clean all connection areas (release tabs, connectors) with a toothbrush and lubricate with a thin layer of petroleum jelly.

Where can I find replacement parts and how do I register the product?

Parts are listed in the manual (part numbers). Contact customer service at 1-800-328-8251. Register your product online at www.wagnerspraytech.com to expedite warranty.

Besoin d'aide?

To reduce the risks of fire or explosion, electrical shock and the injury to persons, read and understand all instructions included in this manual. Be familiar with the controls and proper usage of the equipment.

This symbol indicates a hazardous situation, which, if not not avoided could result in death or serious injury.

HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE

Solvent and paint fumes can explode or ignite, causing property damage and/or severe injury. PREVENTION:

• Exhaust and fresh air introduction must be provided to keep the air within the work area free from accumulation of flammable vapors.

• Avoid all ignition sources such as static electricity sparks, open flames, pilot lights, hot objects, cigarettes, and sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords or working light switches.
• Fire extinguishing equipment must be present and in working order.
• Do not use materials with a flashpoint below 100^ F (38^ C). A fluid's flashpoint is the temperature at which vapors from the fluid could ignite if exposed to a flame or spark. Consult your paint supplier for information about a fluid's flashpoint.
• Keep the unit in a well ventilated location away from the work area. The pump contains arcing parts which emit sparks.

HAZARD: HAZARDOUS VAPORS

Paints, solvents, insecticides, and other materials may be harmful if inhaled, causing severe nausea, fainting, or poisoning.

PREVENTION:

• Use a respirator or mask whenever there is a chance that vapors may be inhaled. Read all instructions with the mask to insure that it will provide the necessary protection against the inhalation of harmful vapors.

HAZARD:GENERAL

May cause property damage or severe injury.

PREVENTION:

• Read all instructions and safety precautions before operating any equipment. Never leave the unit running while unattended. Unplug whenever not in use.
• Never immerse the unit into any liquid.
• Comply with all appropriate local, state and national codes governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.
• This paint roller system is designed to be used with authorized parts only. When using this system with parts that do not comply with the minimum specifications and safety devices of the system manufacturer, the user assumes all risks and liabilities.
• Before each use, check all hoses for cuts, leaks, abrasion or bulging of cover or damage or movement of couplings. If any of these conditions exist, call Customer Service. Never repair a paint hose, replace it with a new one.

Additional warnings are contained on the tag molded to the electrical cord of the unit. Be sure to read this tag before operating the unit.

General Description

This high performance power roller is a precision power tool used for both interior and exterior painting and may be used with both water (latex) and oil based paints.

IMPORTANT: Use of oil-based paints must be limited to only those paints which can be cleaned with mineral spirits. Latex paints can be cleaned with soapy, lukewarm water. DO NOT use hot water when cleaning or flushing the unit.

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding 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 with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING - Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green grounding wire to either flat blade terminal.

The wire with insulation having a green outer surface with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire and must be connected to the grounding pin.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. A temporary adapter which looks like the adapter illustrated in the figure below may be used to connect this plug to a 2 pole receptacle as shown if a properly grounded outlet is not available.

The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet as shown below can be installed by a qualified electrician. The green colored rigid ear lug or the grounding wire extending from the adapter must be connected to a permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box cover. Whenever the adapter is used, it must be held in place by a metal screw.

Extension Cord Selection

If an extension cord is used, make sure that it is of the 3-conductor type with NEMA connectors so a continuous grounding circuit is provided from the tool to the power circuit receptacle. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Also, be sure that the conductor size is large enough to prevent excessive voltage drop which will cause loss of power and possible motor damage to the unit. A 14 or 12 gauge cord is recommended. If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-A following the cord type designation. For example, SJTW-A to indicate that it is acceptable for outdoor use.

Cord gauge Maximu	m cord length
12 150 feet

Helpful Painting Tips

Prepping the Room

Remove all pictures, mirrors, and decorations from the walls and draperies from the windows. Remove all nails, hardware and switch and receptacle covers. Cover furniture and floor with drop cloths.

Surface Preparation

• Always remove wallpaper before painting. Wash off old adhesive and rinse with water. Allow the walls to dry before painting.
• Wash and rinse dirt, grease and oil build-up off the walls with soap and water.
• Fill all nail holes, joints and cracks with patching paste. Let dry and sand the surface until smooth. Clean sanded area with a damp cloth.
• Spot prime all patched areas and any marker and/or pen marks before applying first coat.

*TIP: Write the important information from your paint can -- color, formula, brand and paint type -- on the back of a switch plate for future reference.

Painting the Room

*Tip: If you need more than one gallon of paint to do the room's walls, mix them together to ensure color uniformity.

• Always make sure to open a window or door to ensure proper ventilation. If you are painting both the ceiling and walls in your room, start with the ceiling first and then move to the walls.

Ceilings:

• To minimize spills and spatters, use the spatter guard and paint across the short width of the ceiling.

Walls:

• Tape off around base and window and door trim.

• Paint one wall at a time.

• Pick an area to start where you can saturate the roller cover and evenly distribute the paint. Working in three-foot sections, begin by cutting-in around windows, doors, cabinets, base and other breaks in the wall surface with a pad or brush.

• Press the handle button until paint appears through the roller cover.

• Start painting at one end of a wall and roll out the letter "W". Fill it in with crosswise strokes, working your way across the wall in 3^ × 3^ sections. Finish the sections by painting one solid swipe from ceiling to floor. This will give you a nice even paint finish.

• Press the handle button as needed for more paint. Be careful not to over-saturate the roller cover as it may drip, slide on the wall or spatter.

• Make sure to run the roller cover over the areas you cut-in around the trim and baseboards to even out the texture.

If you need to stop and take a break; finish painting the entire wall, or stop at a break in the wall such as a doorway or corner to prevent lap marks.

Changing accessories:

• When removing or changing any accessories from the roller handle, it is likely that some material will drip from the handle and the accessory.
• Turn the variable speed dial to 0 (OFF) prior to removing any accessories or components, and make sure your floors and furnishings are protected from dripping paint.

• To minimize dripping material from the handle and accessories, follow the steps below.

• Press the quick-release tabs on the handle (or the extension).

1. Pull the handle and the accessory apart, making sure to keep the connecting ends pointed up.

Cleanup

Purging the paint hose:

When you are finished with your project, follow these steps to return any remaining material left in the hose back into its container. These steps should be followed no matter what type of material you used.

1. Switch paint flow directional switch to "REVERSE".

1. Place roller arm into rest area. Turn the variable speed dial to 9.

1. Fully press and release the handle button to switch the motor on. Let the motor run for 2-3 minutes to pull paint from the hoses back into the paint container. When finished, fully press and release the handle button to switch the motor off. Flip switch back to "PAINT".

1. Remove spatter shield. Press locking tab (a) and drop roller cover assembly into a bucket of the appropriate cleaning solution.

Storage

Cleaning and storage tips:

Thoroughly cleaning your unit and its components is the best way to ensure the prolonged life of your unit.

• Keep water, paint, and other residues away from the handle button. A clogged handle button will affect the performance of your unit.
• Be sure that your unit is free from all fluids before storage. After storing your unit in extreme cold temperatures, allow unit to reach room temperature before using.
• When storing your unit, be sure the paint hose is stored in a large loop without any kinks. If it is bent, it could be damaged.

Maintenance:

The areas on the roller handle and the extension indicated below must be cleaned thoroughly and lubricated after each use. ALL paint should be removed from the areas highlighted in gray below, especially the quick-release tabs and all other areas that connect with other parts. This can be done by using the appropriate cleaning solution and an old toothbrush (DO NOT SUBMERGE ROLLER HANDLE!).

In addition to thoroughly cleaning your unit after every use, you must clean and lubricate the areas on the arm (a, b, c), extension (d), and the Quick-clean™ inlet plug O-rings (e) indicated below. Use a thin layer of petroleum jelly to lubricate the indicated areas.
