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.6).
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).
1. To obtain the best results always keep your spray gun level and spray equally from side to side
or up or down 25-30cm from the surface. Avoid spraying at an angle as this will lead to runs on
the surface (Fig.5a).
2. Let your arm control the left to right movement rather than your wrist as this will aid even paint
distribution over the whole area (Fig.5b).
3. Do not tip the spray gun to more than 45
o
angle when the motor is switched OFF. You can tip
the spray gun at more of an angle when spraying ceilings and decking, etc, providing that the
motor is switched ON.

The volume of paint sprayed is easily adjustable. Completely close Fluid Adjusting Screw (12) by
turning clockwise as far as it will go. Whilst pulling the trigger, begin turning the Fluid Ajustment
Screw (12) anticlockwise until the volume of paint you require is obtained. If the paint spray is too
wide or contains too much paint turn the Fluid Adjusting Screw (12) clockwise again. Once the correct
spray pattern and paint volume is obtained, you are ready to spray.
