NOTICE
Clean the Spray Gun IMMEDIATELY after use.

Spraying Technique
IMPORTANT:
Proper spraying technique
is ESSENTIAL to achieve good results.
1. First, prepare the Spray Gun according to the
instructions under
Tool Set Up
on page 8.
2. Make sure that the Switch/Trigger is in
the off-position, then plug in the tool.
3. Keep the Spray Gun upright and
at a right angle to the workpiece -
See Figure D and Figure E.

Do not pivot your wrist
or wave the gun like a
fan towards the wall.
Move your arm, not just your wrist.
Point gun directly towards the surface and
maintain an even, steady distance and speed.

4. Using two hands, one to steady the Cup
and the other to operate the Spray Gun,
aim Nozzle at the workpiece.
CAUTION: DO NOT STOP WHEN SPRAYING.
Spraying materials will start to set and dry as soon as
they come in contact with the air. They will cause a
permanent clog if not cleared immediately. If discontinuing
spraying for more than half an hour, unplug the tool,
disconnect Cup from Gun Body and thoroughly
rinse Cup and Gun Body with fresh, clean water.
5. Pull Trigger slowly and move Spray Gun in
parallel strokes to the workpiece. Keep the
distance from the workpiece at about 6″ to 9″,
depending on the flow adjustment and the paint.
6. To avoid paint build up, start moving the Spray Gun
before squeezing the Trigger.
When finished with the stroke, release the Trigger
while still moving the Spray Gun - see Figure F.
Doing this will produce a smoother finish.
Do not stop moving the Spray Gun while spraying.
If the Spray Gun stops even briefly while spraying
the paint will build up and run down the workpiece.

Note:
The stroke speed, the Control Knob
adjustment, and the distance from the workpiece,
will determine how much paint is being applied.
Apply two thin coats rather than one thick coat.
7. To prevent accidents, release trigger
and unplug the tool after use.
8.
Clean Spray Gun thoroughly immediately
after EVERY use, according to
instructions on the following pages.
