Spraying Technique
The spraying result depends considerably on how well prepared the
surface is for painting. Carefully complete proper surface preparation
according to the paint manufacturer’s instructions.
1. Turn the airless sprayer on. Ensure
the priming lever is in the spray
position. Release the trigger lock.
2. Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface.
3. Move the gun with the entire arm, not by flexing the wrist. This
will keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface, keeping the
pattern even.
4. Start the stroke before the edge of the area being sprayed. Begin
the movement and then squeeze the trigger.
5. Move the spray gun along the surface at a steady pace and then
release the trigger once past the opposite edge of the area being
sprayed.
6. Overlap each stroke to
ensure even coverage.
4. USING THE SPRAYER
SPRAY
Helpful Hints
1. Do not spray outdoors on a windy day as the results may be
unsatisfactory.
2. Only apply one coat at a time, always allow a coat to completely
dry before adding another coat.
3. Avoid stopping and starting as this can lead to a patchy finish.
It is best to start spraying outside the surface to be sprayed and
avoid stopping in the middle of the surface, continue just past the
opposite edge.
4. If no spray comes out of the spray gun, the tip may have dried and
clogged. Switch off the unit, lock the spray gun trigger and rotate
the spray tip by 180°. Switch on the unit, unlock the trigger then
squeeze and hold the trigger to spray material through the gun.
Repeat this 2-3 times.
If the procedure above does not fix the issue, Switch off the
unit and follow the cleaning procedure for the spray tip in the
‘
CLEANING THE SPRAY GUN
’ section of the
Cleaning &
Maintenance Manual
.
Interim Procedure
If you are taking a break for more than several minutes, follow the
procedure below to prevent paint from drying and forming a blockage
in the spray gun.
1. Perform the
Pressure Release Procedure
described in the
‘CONTROLS’ section.
2. Remove the spray tip from the spray gun and submerge it in a
container of the appropriate solvent (water if water based spray
material was used, or a suitable cleaning solution if oil based).
3. When you are ready to start spraying again, wipe the spray tip dry,
re-assemble the spray gun, prime the machine again and resume
use as normal
