Operating Tips
• To reduce overspray and obtain
maxim um efficiency, always spray
with the lowest possible fluid/air
pressure.
• Hoid the gun perpendicular to the
surface, 4" to 6" distance.
• Two thin coats will produce a
better finish than one heavy coat.
• Mask off areas not being
sprayed.
• Follow contour.
• Overlap each stroke 50%.
• Ends are feathered by triggering.
That is, begin stroke before
pulling frigger and releasing just
before ending the stroke.
• Spray edges and corners first.
This will reduce overspray while
providing good coverage on
corners.
I
Don’t arc strokes, move the gun
parallel to work.
Pattern should be
shaped as shown, if not
see "Troubleshooting"
section.
Care should be exer­
cised when handling spray gun to
avoid damage to the orifice of the
air cap and tip of fluid nozzle.
Damage to these parts results in
irregular spray patterns.
Practice on a cardboard target to
make sure pattern size and
material consistency are correct
before spraying on actual project.
