• Don't arc strokes, move the gun
parallel to work.
• Pattern should be
shaped as shown, if not
see "Troubleshooting"
section.
• Care should be exer-
cised when handling spray gun to
avoid damage to the orifice of the
air cap and tip of fluid nozzle.
Damage to these parts results in
irregular spray patterns.
• Practice on a cardboard target to
make sure pattern size and
material consistency are correct
before spraying on actual project.
Operating Tips
• To reduce overspray and obtain
maximum efficiency, always spray
with the lowest possible fluid/air
pressure.
• Hold the gun perpendicular to the
surface, 4" to 6" distance.
• Two thin coats will produce a
better finish than one heavy coat.
• Mask off areas not being
sprayed.
• Follow contour.
• Overlap each stroke 50%.
• Ends are feathered by triggering.
That is, begin stroke before
pulling trigger and releasing just
before ending the stroke.
• Spray edges and corners first.
This will reduce overspray while
providing good coverage on
corners.
