HELPFUL HINTS
1.
Evenly control the speed of movement of the spray gun. A fast speed will give a thin coat and a slow speed
will give a thick coat.
2.
Only apply one coat at a time. If a further coat is required follow the paint
manufacturer’s instructions for drying times.
3.
If spraying small areas or objects keep the output setting low as this will avoid
excessive use of paints and will minimise overspray.
4.
When spraying large areas or objects, it is best to use a criss-cross pattern,
either from left to right then up or down or vice-versa. This will ensure
maximum coverage (Fig.5).
5.
Avoid stopping and starting when spraying as this can lead to too much or not
enough material on a surface.
6.
To ensure edges are covered, commence spraying just to the side of area
being sprayed.
7.
CLEAN SPRAYER AFTER EVERY USE (SEE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS)
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
THE SPRAY GUN MUST BE THOROUGHLY CLEANED IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. IF THE PAINT DRIES
INSIDE THE GUN, CLEANING WILL BECOME MUCH MORE DIFFICULT AND MAY RENDER THE GUN
INOPERABLE. THIS IS NOT COVERED BY GUARANTEE.
The spray gun is the same as a paintbrush, if it is not cleaned the paint will go hard and render the gun useless.
You must therefore clean this out after use.
