7 OPERATION
7.1 How to spray
If spraying with a spray gun system is new or unfamiliar to you, it is advisable to practice on an
area of scrap wood or cardboard before beginning on your intended work surface.
7.2 Preparation
 All objects and surfaces you intend to paint should be cleaned before you begin spraying.
 All areas not intended for painting should be covered or masked off.
7.3 Preparation (outdoor use only)
IMPORTANT – Observe the wind direction when operating the spray gun
outdoors and wear suitable eyewear, ear, breathing and clothing protection.
 The spray area must be clean and free of dust in order to prevent any unwanted materials
making contact with the painted surface.
IMPORTANT – Please follow all environmental guidelines if spraying
outdoors. Be aware of your environment and dispose of any unused
materials in correct manner.
7.4 Spraying (Fig 7)
 First, carry out a test-spray run and adjust the spray pattern and the spray material
quantity according to the spray material (for adjustments please refer to
“To adjust the
pattern
” and “Material flow adjustment”)
 Make sure you hold the spray gun vertical and parallel to the target area, at a distance of
between 5-15cm.
 Always begin spraying outside of the target area to prime the trigger.
 Move the spray gun evenly cross-wise or up and down, depending on the spray pattern.
 An even surface quality is achieved when the spray paths overlap by 4-5cm.
 To ensure a complete even finish, you may need to spray over the edge of the target area.
This will avoid a thin coat around the edges of the target area.
NOTE – An even movement of the spray gun results in an even spray.
