WARNING!
m
NEVER trigger the gun while adjusting the ears on the spray
pattern adjuster.
NEVER point the spray gun at yourself or any other person.
• Set the material volume by turning the regulator on the rear part of the spray gun.
• Position the spray gun perpendicular to and approximately 6 to 12 inches from the spray
surface, depending upon the spray pattern size desired.
• Spray parallel to the surface with smooth passes at a consistent speed as illustrated below.
Doing this will help avoid irregularities in the finish (i.e., runs and sags).
• Always apply a thin coat of material on the first pass and allow to dry before applying a second,
slightly heavier coat.
• When spraying, always trigger the spray gun after spray pass has begun and release trigger
before stopping the pass. The best results are achieved when making 20-inch passes. Always
keep the gun pointed squarely at the spray surface and overlap passes slightly to obtain the
most consistent and professional finish possible.

WHILE SPRAYING
HOW TO SPRAY PROPERLY
STARTING TO SPRAY
ADJUSTING THE FLOW OF PAINT
We recommend you spend some time practicing on cardboard, newspaper or scrap wood to
familiarize yourself with how the spray gun works and the flow rate (i.e., how fast the mate-
rial will spray) before starting.
• Start with the
PAINT FLOW ADJUSTER
at its
minimum setting
so the trigger cannot be pulled.
The paint flow adjuster controls the quantity of paint sprayed. Slowly increase the paint flow
until the flow has reached a level you are comfortable with.
