Cuprinol Fence & Decking Power Sprayer

Usage guide

The Cuprinol breakthrough nozzle technology ensures an accurate, even spray pattern that reaches all the awkward spaces without the need for a brush. With a set of batteries included in the pack, you're ready to go straight away. The Cuprinol Fence & Decking Power Sprayer has been designed to give great results with Cuprinol Sprayable Fence Treatments and Cuprinol Sprayable Decking Oil. So whether you want to colour and protect your fence, treat your deck or summerhouse, you can complete the job with minimum effort in a fraction of the time!

How to apply

For best results keep the sprayer nozzle approximately 15 to 30cm (6" to 12") from the surface to be coated.

Using a slow, sweeping motion, spray horizontally across the area to be coated by turning at the end and overlapping approximately half of the previous pass each time. This should ensure that you achieve an even finish. An alternative technique for spraying large areas such as sheds or summerhouses, is to adopt a small circular motion, rather than spraying in a horizontal line.

As with any sprayer it may take a couple of minutes to perfect your technique. Vary the distance of the nozzle from the surface of the wood until you get the best finish. Begin slowly and increase the pace as you get used to spraying. Take care not to spray too quickly as this may result in an uneven finish. Similarly, spraying too slowly will result in excess product being applied causing runs. Should this happen, simply even out with a brush.

The Cuprinol Fence & Decking Power Sprayer has a very controlled spray pattern, however, as with any spray product a limited amount of overspray will be created. This can be minimised by avoiding spraying in windy conditions and by using cardboard or plastic as a shield. Masking off
windows, doors, patios, brickwork, gutters, downpipes, fascias, drains, plants etc., is recommended when spraying outdoor buildings such as sheds and summerhouses. Any overspray should be cleaned up immediately, whilst still wet, with water and household detergent if necessary. Excessive spillage on plants should be rinsed off immediately before drying.

If the Fence & Decking Power Sprayer stops spraying, check if the batteries need changing, if the nozzle has become blocked or if an airlock has occured.

Cleaning and storage

CAUTION: DO NOT LEAVE SPRAYER FILLED WITH PRODUCT OR WATER WHEN NOT IN USE OR OVERNIGHT. REMOVE BATTERIES BEFORE CLEANING SPRAYER TOP (UPPER HOUSING). CLEAN WITH WATER ONLY, DO NOT USE WHITE SPIRIT OR OTHER SOLVENTS.

NOZZLE: Remove nozzle retainer and wash thoroughly all nozzle components including the nozzle filter under running water using a soft nail brush to remove any product. Check to see if nozzle holes are clear of any product. Do not use wire, pins or similar sharp objects to clean or unblock the nozzle. This will lead to damage and a poor spray pattern. Do not allow product to dry as this will block nozzle components. Remove nozzle elbow and clean thoroughly under running water.

TANK: Remove tank from pump body by releasing lock button. Pour any remaining product back into the original pack. Rinse out tank throughly and wipe off any product from the base and the main pump body with a cloth.

INNER PIPES: Fill the now clean sprayer tank with 5 litres of water and reattach to the pump body. Do not replace nozzle elbow and nozzle components back on the lance during this operation. Insert the batteries back into the box and close. Switch on the Fence & Decking Power Sprayer and allow the liquid to flow through into an empty container and then flush down a sink. Do not dispose of washings into drains or watercourses. Continue pumping water until the waste water runs clear (this might take 3-5 minutes) refilling the sprayer tank with clean
water if necessary.

SUCTION PIPE AND INLET FILTER: Remove suction pipe and inlet filter and clean under running water with a soft brush to ensure all product is removed especially from the inlet filter. To avoid losing smaller components we recommend storing the Fence & Decking Power Sprayer fully
assembled. Reassemble the nozzle and attach to the nozzle elbow and lance before storing.
