What happens here

To replace the filter, first release the trigger guard and remove the tip guard from the paint spray gun. Next, simply unscrew the filter housing by hand. Once unscrewed, the old gun filter can be pulled out. The presenter shows examples of clogged filters and mentions that Bedford brand filters are a cost-effective, US-made alternative to OEM filters, being 30-40% cheaper. After removing the old filter, a new filter would be inserted, and the housing, tip guard, and trigger guard reassembled by hand.

Goal: This step demonstrates how to easily remove and replace the gun filter of the airless sprayer without needing special tools. The presenter advises on daily cleaning or replacement of filters and mentions alternative filter brands.
