Use only water-based or oil-based
(mineral spirit-type) materials with a flash point greater than 100° F (38° C).
Do not use materials which state
“FLAMMABLE” on the packaging. For more information about your material, request SDS from distributor or retailer.
When spraying oil-based material, use outdoors or in a well-ventilated indoor area with a flow of fresh air.
Keep spray area well-ventilated.
Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area.
Previously opened paint may contain dried paint or other debris. To avoid priming problems and tip clogs it is advisable to strain the paint before using. Paint strainers are available where paint is sold. Stretch a paint strainer over a clean pail and pour the paint through the strainer to capture any dried paint and debris before spraying.

If sprayer does not spray, try one of the steps below:
•
Make certain there is only one FlexLiner in cup support. It is possible for two liners to nest tightly together and appear as only one.
•
Make certain the cup cover is properly threaded to the cup support. If threads are visible below the cup cover when tight, then the cover is cross-threaded.
Fully remove the cup cover and reinstall to the cup support so no threads are visible when tight.
