Unfortunately there's just instances where you can't avoid it. Dedicating cleaning time once a week to properly get into it is pretty important. Sometimes it just takes routine care and a bit of elbow grease to keep the gear in good condition!
I haven’t had that issue. My understanding is that the pump armor fluid is largely antifreeze with some additives meaning that the liquid has antimicrobial properties. For longer term storage it can be added to the machine without dilution, but that recommend a 20% dilution for short term storage
If i need to top up the little hopper and it hasn't run out of paint can i just top it up and carry on spraying or does it need to be primed first ? Newbie to spraying and a bit unsure . Great bit of kit though , i really like using it.
You can carry on spraying as long as the strainer/filter where the pump inlet sits is covered with enough product! If any air sucks in, you may need to prime again :)
Recently I used the quickshot for the first time. Turns out it’s easy to know when it starts getting low on paint. It’s easy to use so I’d pour in more paint and keep going. But if it loses prime it’s easy to get back 👍🏻
DeWalt batteries are great. Get the 6 or 8 amp hour battery and it should last you a long time. and keep a charger and a fully charged battery on hand ready to go. Place depleted battery on charger when you swap battery, and you'll always have a charged battery ready to go.
