Adjust the fluid control knob to start
with a low volume of material and keep
the atomization as low as possible. Use
a combination of fluid control, inlet air
pressure, air flow control and stroke
speed to achieve the results you want.
Spray so the material wets out nicely
without running or sagging.
8.
Use the pattern control knob to adjust
the spray fan to your desired pattern.
9.
Keep the gun tip perpendicular and
parallel to the work surface as you
spray from a distance of 152-203mm
(6-8") as shown in
Figure ??
. Keep
your wrist firm while spraying; bend-
ing your wrist will cause the gun to arc
across the surface and distribute the
material unevenly, possibly creating
sags, drips or dry spots.
11.
Maintain an even speed when spray-
ing.
12.
Overlap each stroke by 50%. This will
ensure even coverage as shown in
Figure 6
. Less than 50% as shown
in the figure to the right may lead to
missed spots or streaky results.
