Adjustment
The desired pattern, volume of fluid output and fine atomization can easily be obtained by
regulating the Pattern Adjusting Knob, Fluid (PAINT) Adjusting Knob and Air Adjusting Knob.
PATTERN ADJUSTMENT:
Turning Pattern Adjusting Knob
to the right until tight will make spray pattern round, or
turning left make spray pattern ellipse.
Fluid (PAINT) ADJUSTMENT:
Turn the Paint Adjusting
Knob clockwise will decrease the volume of fluid output and
counter-clockwise will increase fluid output.
AIR Volume ADJUSTMENT:
Turning the Air Adjusting valve
clockwise will decrease the air volume.
And counter-clockwise will increase the air volume
Operation
1. Begin spraying. Always keep the gun at right angles to the work .
2. Keep the nozzle about 6 to 12 inches from the work surface. Grip the gun keeping perpendicular
with spraying area then move it parallel for several times, Stopping gun movement in mid-stroke will
cause a build up of paint and result in runs. Do not fan the gun from side to side while painting. This
will cause a build-up of paint in the center of the stroke and an insufficient coating at each end.
3. Trigger the gun properly. Start the gun moving at the beginning of the stroke
BEFORE SQUEEZING
THE
TRIGGER
and release the trigger
BEFORE STOPPING GUN MOVEMENT
at the end of the
stroke. This procedure will blend each stroke with the next without showing overlap or unevenness .
4. The amount of paint being applied can be varied by the speed of the stroke, distance from the surface
and adjustment of the fluid control knob.
5. Overlap strokes just enough to obtain an even coat.
NOTE:
Two thin coats of paint will yield better results and have less chance of runs than one heavy layer.
6. Use a piece of cardboard as a shield to catch overspray at the edges of the work to protect other
surfaces.
