Wagner Spraytech 2419329 Paint Stick EZ Roller

GETTING STARTED

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

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

Attention

Some oil-based paints require a stronger cleaning solution than mineral spirits and should not be used with the EZ-Roller™. Using a cleaning solution stronger than mineral spirits may cause damage to the EZ-Roller™.
Check with your paint supplier to be sure the oil-based paint you have can be cleaned with mineral spirits.

PARTS AND COMPONENTS

FILLING THE MAIN TUBE

• The EZ-Roller™ should come preassembled new, or should already be assembled after Cleanup during previous usage.
• If the unit is not assembled, follow the “Lubricating the Components” steps on page 6.

1. Apply a thin layer of petroleum jelly to the fill tube. This will help the fill valve slide easily off the fill tube.
2. Clip fill tube to paint container.
3. Press down and firmly hold the fill valve onto the fill tube.
4. Pull the plunger to draw the material into the main tube. When the tube is full, you are ready to begin using the EZ-Roller™.

USAGE

GENERAL ROLLING TIPS

PREPARING 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:

• 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.
• 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’ x 3’ sections. Finish the sections by painting one solid swipe from ceiling to floor. This will give you a nice even paint finish.
• 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.

LOADING THE ROLLER

1. Push plunger forward until you see paint coming through the roller cover.
2. Squeeze trigger for additional paint as needed.
3. Refill as needed (see Filling the Main Tube,

TIP: During extended break periods, place a plastic bag around the roller cover and fill valve to keep it from drying out.
TIP : For best results, maintain a steady flow of material to the roller. cover and avoid rolling it dry.

CLEANUP

BEFORE YOU BEGIN CLEANING

• If you used water-based materials (latex), use warm, soapy water to clean the EZ-Roller™.
• If you used oil-based materials, use mineral spirits.

YOU WILL NEED

• A large bucket or other container that will hold cleaning solution.

TIP : A large laundry tub filled with warm, soapy water is ideal for cleanup if you used water-based materials.

CLEANUP (1-9)

1. Pull plunger back to draw remaining material from the roller arm assembly into the tube.

2. Press the fill valve onto the fill tube. Push plunger forward to return excess material into the container.

3. Pull the roller cover assembly from the roller arm. If needed firmly push on the inner end cap with thumb to remove cover. If paint is dried you may need to tap with a mallet.
   If needed, lightly tap the outer edge of the roller cover to dislodge it from the inner cap. DO NOT tap the inner cap as it can be damaged.

4. Using the tip of the roller arm, pry out the inner cap and outer cap. After inner cap is removed reinsert roller arm and lightly tap out the outer end cap. It will help to slightly angle arm while doing this.

5. Using the tip of the roller arm push the spacer out of the roller cover. Place caps, spacer and cover in a bucket of the appropriate cleaning solution.

6. Unclip fill tube from container, but keep installed into the fill valve. Submerge the fill tube into the appropriate cleaning solution and pull the plunger in and out a minimum of 5 times.

7. Remove the fill tube. Submerge the fill valve and roller arm and pull the plunger in and out a minimum of 5 times.

8. Remove the roller arm. Submerge the head of the EZ-Roller™ and the fill valve and pull the plunger in and out a minimum of 5 times.
