increases the flow of liquid. Turning the knob counter anti-
clockwise decreases the flow of liquid.
Tip: Always test the spray pattern on scrap cardboard or
similar material first. Begin with flow control knob on the
highest flow setting. If less flow is desired, dial the flow
control knob anticlockwise to decrease the flow of liquid.
Heavier, thicker materials should be sprayed with the flow
control knob on high flow setting. Thinner materials should
be sprayed with the flow control knob on low flow setting.
DEVELOPING THE PROPER
SPRAYING TECHNIQUE
f
Practice spraying on a piece of scrap material such as
cardboard to test your spray pattern and become
familiar with the flow control feature of the sprayer.
f
Ensure surface to be sprayed is free of dust, dirt,
and grease.
f
Ensure spray area is clean and free of dust that could
be blown onto newly sprayed surfaces.
f
Cover any areas not intended to be sprayed.
f
Always spray from a minimum of 2 inch (50mm) to a
maximum of 12 inches (300mm) (Fig. J).
f
A commonly used method for spraying a large surface
is the “crisscross” pattern. This is done by spraying in
horizontal strips and then crossing over these strips
with vertical strips (Fig. L).
f
To get an even spray distribution, always keep your
arm at the same distance (Fig. J) from the surface you
are spraying and avoid moving your wrist (Fig. K).
f
Maintain smooth and consistent speed which will help
avoid inconsistencies. Begin spraying after the pass has
begun and release trigger before stopping the pass.
f
Avoid spraying too heavily in any one area. Several
lighter coats are better than one heavy coat which
can lead to running and dripping. Remember that the
flow control knob regulates the amount of liquid
