3 Begin 15cm off the edge of the area being sprayed. Start
the movement of the stroke before squeezing the trigger.
Release trigger once passed the opposite edge of the
workpiece.
For vertical surfaces:
1 To change the spray
pattern, loosen the nozzle
collar and rotate the nozzle
to the desired position.
Tighten nozzle collar to
secure nozzle in place.
For horizontal surfaces:
Choosing Spray Patterns
1. 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.
2. Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, so
spray distance is consistent.
Helpful Hints
1. Maintain the same distance from workpiece (approx 15cm)
throughout each pass.
2. Maintain the same speed throughout each pass.
3. Always allow a coat to completely dry before adding another coat.
4. Avoid stopping and starting in the middle of workpiece as this can
lead to a patchy finish.
1 Start with the fan
adjustment dial completely
loosened.
2 Partly tighten the dial then
test setting on a scrap
piece of material.
Fan Adjustment Dial
3 Repeat step 2 until desired fan pattern is reached.
NOTE:
After each use it is essential that the spray gun is
cleaned thoroughly. Failure to do so will likely cause blockages
which will prevent the tool from working.
FAILURE TO CLEAN THE TOOL WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
The fan adjustment dial controls the distribution of paint in the
fan. Turned all the way clockwise, paint is concentrated in the
centre of the fan. As the dial is turned anti-clockwise more paint
is distributed toward the edges.
