IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION safety hazards •• •• HAZARD: EXPLOSION OR FIRE Flammable vapors, such as solvent and paint vapors, in work area can ignite or explode. Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near an open flame, pilot lights or sources of ignition such as hot objects, cigarettes, motors, electrical equipment and electrical appliances. Avoid creating sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords.
CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS Thank you for your purchase! Thank you for purchasing the Wagner FLEXiO sprayer with best-in-class features that are designed for spraying residential paint, un-thinned, indoors or out. Only the FLEXiO sprayers have the power of the X-Boost® turbine and versatility of the iSpray nozzle that will help you finish projects fast and professionally.
CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS X-Boost™ Power Dial The X-Boost power dial adjusts the level of air power produced by the turbine. + Detail Finish Material Flow Control The material flow control determines the amount of spray material that is sprayed from the spray nozzle. iSpray Nozzle - The material flow can be adjusted incrementally from 1 (minimum) to 12 (maximum) by turning the adjustable material flow control.
material preparation i Material to be sprayed may need to be strained to remove any impurities in the paint which may enter and clog the system. Impurities in the paint will give poor performance and a poor finish. Only thin the material if absolutely necessary to improve spray performance. Optimal spray performance should be acheived simply by adjusting the various controls on the unit. to prepare the material 1 1. Stir the spraying material thoroughly. 2. Unscrew the cup from the nozzle. 3.
Assembly NEVER point the spray gun at any part of the body. Assembly 1 Make sure the power cord is unplugged. Attention 1. Insert the suction tube into the intake opening. 2. Align the pickup tube: 2 A If spraying downward, the angled end of the pickup tube should be pointing toward the front of the nozzle. B If spraying upward, the angled end of the pickup tube should be pointing toward the rear of the nozzle. i A Make sure the pickup tube is inserted as far as it will go to ensure a tight fit.
Power and Material Controls i Spray performance will depend upon a number of factors: material thickness, air power, spray pattern selected, and material flow. Testing different variations of the control settings will help you achieve the desired results. See descriptions and suggested Power and Material Settings Guide below to help with your project. X-Boost™ Power Dial The X-Boost™ power dial adjusts the level of air pressure produced by the turbine.
spray pattern adjustment adjust spray shape air cap ears air cap Adjust the spray pattern by turning the air cap ears. The air cap position will determine the movement direction of the spray gun. The positions of the air cap and the corresponding spray pattern shapes are illustrated below. Test each pattern and use whichever pattern is suitable for your application. Horizontal pattern never trigger the gun while turning the adjustment ring. NEVER point the spray gun at any part of the body.
proper spraying technique STOP i Spray Poster The room you are spraying must be properly masked in order to prevent overspray from covering woodwork, floors or furnishings. Make sure you have properly masked the room per the instructions on the enclosed “Taping Guide”. A spray poster is included with your unit. The spray poster can be adhered to a spraying surface and can be used for practice. Follow the guidelines on the poster.
proper spraying technique i Use the images and guidelines below in order to assist you in achieving the desired spray pattern for your project. These are meant to be general starting points - you may have to slightly modify certain controls on the system in order to get the exact performance you need. large surface projects Generally, high material flow and air power are needed for spraying large surface areas, such as walls and decks.
cleanup i When cleaning, use the appropriate cleaning solution (warm, soapy water for latex materials; mineral spirits for oil-based materials). flushing the Unit 1 Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable solvents (must have a flashpoint above 100ºF (38ºC): •• •• •• •• 1/2 PULL Always flush spray gun outside. Area must be free of flammable vapors. Cleaning area must be well-ventilated. 2 3 4 5 Do not submerge turbine! 1. Unplug the power cord.
Cleanup (continued) Cleaning the nozzle 1 1. Make sure power cord is unplugged. Remove the air hose from the rear of the spray gun handle. 2. iSpray Nozzle only a.

maintenance Cleaning the FILTERs Attention 1 Before every use, you should inspect the air filters in the turbine to see if it is excessively dirty. If it is dirty, follow these steps to replace it. Never operate your unit without the air filters. Dirt could be sucked in and interfere with the function of the unit. 1. Press the tabs on each side of the turbine to remove the filter covers. Remove the dirty filters from the turbine and replace with new ones.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION Problem A: Little or no material flow 1. Nozzle clogged. 2. Suction tube clogged. 3. Air vent on suction tube blocked. 4. Material flow setting too low. 5. Suction tube loose. 6. No pressure build up in container. 7. Air valve tube not functioning. 8. Nozzle seal missing. 9. Air filter clogged. 10. Spray material too thick. 1. Clean. 2. Clean. 3. Clean (see page 13) 4. Increase material flow setting. 5. Remove and replace as tightly as possible. 6.
