THE SPRAY GUN MUST BE THOROUGHLY CLEANED IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. IF THE
PAINT DRIES INSIDE THE GUN, CLEANING WILL BECOME MUCH MORE DIFFICULT AND
MAY RENDER THE GUN INOPERABLE. THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE GUARANTEE.
The spray gun is the same as a paintbrush. If it is not cleaned it will go hard and become useless.
You must therefore clean the spray gun after use.
NEVER DISPOSE OF PAINTS OR SOLVENTS INTO DRAINS. CONTACT YOUR LOCAL
COUNCIL TO ARRANGE COLLECTION OR FOR DETAILS OF NEAREST REGISTERED
DISPOSAL SITE.
