Spraying Technique
IMpORTANT:
Proper spraying technique
is ESSENTIAL to achieve good results.
1. First, clean and prepare the Spray Gun
according to the instructions under
Before First Use
on page 10 and
Spray Gun Setup Adjustment
on page 11.
2. Keep the Spray Gun upright and
at a right angle to the workpiece -
See Figure M and Figure N.
Incorrect
Gun
Angle
Do not pivot your wrist
or wave the gun like a
fan towards the wall.
Correct Gun Angle
Move your arm, not just your wrist.
Point gun directly towards the surface and
maintain an even, steady distance and speed.

3. 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, turn off the air supply, disconnect
Cup from Gun Body and thoroughly rinse Cup
and Gun Body with fresh, clean water.
4. 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.
5. 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 O.
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 Fluid 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.
CAUTION! Air hose fittings may get hot.
Allow fittings to cool before disconnecting,
or wear gloves to prevent burns.
6. To prevent accidents, release trigger, detach
air supply, safely discharge any residual air
pressure, and again release trigger after use.
7.
Clean the Spray Gun IMMEDIATELY after
EVERY use, in between coats, and when
it will be idle for more than 5 minutes
.
