4. ADJUSTING THE SPRAY GUN CONT.
5. SPRAYING TECHNIQUE
ASG-PRO
1 Start with the fan
adjustment dial completely
loosened.
The fan adjustment dial controls the distibution of paint in the
fan. Fully tightened, paint is concentrated in the centre of the
fan, loosened the paint is more evenly distributed through out
the fan.
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 spray pattern,
loosen the nozzle collar
and rotate the nozzle to
desired position. Tighten
nozzle collar to secure
nozzle in place.
For horizontal surfaces:
2 Partly tighten the dial then
test setting on a scrap
piece of material.

Choosing Spray Patterns
3 Overlap each stroke by 2cm
to achieve an even coverage.
2cm
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.
3 Repeat step 2 until desired fan pattern is reached.
IT IS CRUCIAL TO CLEAN THE SPRAY GUN AFTER
EACH USE. Please refer to the cleaning procedure.
