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 and Adjustment on page 1212.
.
2. Keep the Spray Gun upright and
at a right angle to the workpiece -
See Figure B and Figure C.
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.

NOTICE: DO NOT STOp WHEN SpRAYING.
Spraying materials will start to set and dry as
soon as they come in contact with the air.
3. Depress Trigger fully and move Spray Gun
in parallel strokes to the workpiece.
4. Keep the distance from the workpiece:
a. 6" for 64823
b. 7" for 64824
5. To avoid paint build up:
a. Apply two thin coats rather than one thick
coat. Overlap 1/3 to 1/2 on second coat.
b. Start moving the Spray Gun before
fully depressing Trigger.
c. Fully depress Trigger before
contacting the workpiece.
d. When finished with the stroke, release the
Trigger while still moving the Spray Gun and
after passing the workpiece - see Figure D.
Note:
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.
