fully counterclockwise
to maximum and set
speed control switch to
maximum (2).
2. Point the sprayer at a
scrap piece of wood
or cardboard, and pull
the trigger until material
sprays evenly from the
spray gun.
The spray pattern is controlled by the Flow Control Knob on
the rear of the sprayer, and by the thickness of the material
being sprayed.
Turning the flow knob counterclockwise increases the
amount of material flow. Turning the flow knob clockwise
decreases the amount of material flow.

• Always practice spraying on a piece of scrap
wood or cardboard to test your spray pattern.
• If you adjust the flow knob and still cannot get a
good pattern, you may need to thin the material
you are using. always test spraying without
thinning the material. Thin as required to achieve
optimum spraying performance (refer to #5).
• If you are spraying a material that needs to be
thinned, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations.

Practice Spraying:
Your sprayer offers you two speed levels (1 being lowest,
2 being highest). The lower the speed level, the closer you
can get to your work and the less overspray you will have.
Lower speed levels give you greater control but require more
time to cover an area. Depending upon the thickness of the
material or conditions, the settings may need to be adjusted.
Refer to the chart on the right.
To adjust the speed setting, press the button on the speed
control until the light indicates your desired speed.
6 - 10 inches Medium flow
12 inches
Medium to maximum
flow
IMPORTanT: do not get the speed control wet or the
sprayer could be damaged. Be careful during use and
cleanup.
3. To adjust for your
particular spray
project, press the
switch on the top
of the gun until the
sprayer is set at the
desired speed.
5. A poor spray pattern (a) will
concentrate the paint in the
center of the spray pattern
and go on blotchy. A good
spray pattern (b) has an
even amount of material
throughout the pattern and
will go on smoothly.
4. Turn the flow knob
clockwise until you have
a good spray pattern.
