The Wagner Power Painter models offer a fan-shaped spray pattern that is preferred for a multitude of projects. Most homeowners can benefit from these sprayers as well as property managers with just a few houses to care for.

The EZ Tilt allows you the chance to spray from any angle: straight down, straight up or as you would with a normal sprayer.

Use this for almost any household project including shutters, lattice, sheds, fences, garages and on a smaller-sized house. These sprayers provide full coverage with a consistent finish unlike many of the competitors.

Use the Power Painter models whenever you want to cut down your painting time versus using the paint rollers or brushes.

Even with the setup and cleanup time, your projects will still be done in a fraction of the time. The electronic controls can be easily adjusted so you achieve the desired painting speed and finish every time.

The setup of either Wagner Power Painter sprayer takes 5 minutes or less and anyone can do it. Start by removing the cup by pressing and holding the cup release button. Turn the cup to release it and remove. Then, attach the fill lid to the paint container for easy pouring. Do not exceed the max fill line. Put the cup back on and turn to lock.

If you are working on a medium or large size job, you’ll want to use the suction tube. Simply twist and remove the suction tube assembly. Then, attach the suction tube housing to the bottom of the sprayer.

Rotate the housing in place. You should hear a click. Attach the lid to the paint container and push the hoses through the holes in the lid and down into the bottom of your material container. 

Always be sure that you take some time practicing your painting on cardboard or scrap material first. This will help you to avoid mistakes on your project.

For more detailed setup instructions, always refer to your Owner’s Manual.

Both of these Power Painter models feature the Material Select Lever. It is on the rear of the sprayer and allows you to make adjustments based on the material you are spraying.

If you are using thicker materials like latex paints, be sure you turn the lever towards the “Paint” option on the sprayer. If you are using thinner materials like stains, be sure the lever is facing “Stains” on the sprayer.

In addition, they both offer the adjustable spray tip assembly. This produces a pattern that is adjustable either horizontally or vertically depending on how you will be painting. 

The Power Painter Max features some additional options.

First, the Electronic Speed Control is displayed with two green lights on the right of the control panel. It offers two-speed levels for your paint jobs: lo or hi.

The lower the speed, the closer you will be able to get to the work you are doing which will reduce overspray. This gives you greater control but will require more time to cover an area.
