NOTE:
Always keep the gun in motion while
spraying. Stopping gun movement in
mid-stroke will cause a build-up of paint and
will 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
(See Figure 6).

6. Trigger the gun properly. Begin moving the
gun before squeezing the trigger and
release the trigger before stopping gun
movement. This procedure will
feather/blend each stroke with the next
without showing overlap or unevenness
(See Figure 7).
7. Overlap strokes just enough to obtain an
even coat (See Figure 8).
8. Use a piece of cardboard as a shield to
catch overspray at the edges of the
workpiece to protect other surfaces. Use
masking tape (not included) to cover other
areas if needed.
NOTE:
The amount of paint being applied
can be varied by the speed of stroke,
distance from the fluid adjustment
knob (E). If the speed stroke is too slow,
the paint will be wet on the workpiece
and it may run. If the speed stroke is too
fast, the paint will be dry and uneven on
the workpiece.
NOTE:
Two thin coats of paint will yield better
spraying results and have less chance of
runs than one heavy layer.
