Spraying Technique

  1.  Keep your arm moving at constant speed and keep the 

sprayer at a constant distance from the surface.   The 

sprayer should be triggered at the beginning of the 

stroke and released at the end of the stroke.

  2.  Keep the sprayer at right angles to the surface.  This 

means moving your entire arm back and forth rather 

than just flexing your wrist.

never tip the sprayer at more than a 45º angle 

when spraying overhead.  Material could get into 

the motor housing and cause an electric shock.

IMPORTanT:  If material is leaking from the threads of the 

spray tip, turn off the sprayer immediately or the sprayer 

could be damaged.  The sprayer will leak from behind the 

spray tip if the atomizer valve is not seated properly.  If 

you notice material leaking from this area:

  3.  Unplug the sprayer immediately.  Remove the spray tip 

by turning it 

counterclockwise

.

  5.  Put the atomizer valve back in place, making sure it can 

seat properly without any obstruction.

  4.  Remove the atomizer valve and see if it needs to be 

cleaned or replaced 

(see page 15)

.  Also check the 

pump housing opening for any dirt or other obstruction 

and clean if necessary.

  6.  Thread on the spray tip by turning it clockwise and 

tighten firmly by hand.
