General Set Up and Spray Gun Use cont.
Adjusting the Fan Pattern Size
The fan size is regulated by the fan
adjustment knob as noted in Fig. 2.
As a starting point, gently turn the
knob clockwise until you feel no further
adjustment. Next, turn the knob
counter-clockwise one full rotation. The
fan adjustment will allow you to spray
from a small round to a full fan pattern.
The pattern can also be changed from
vertical to horizontal by rotating the air
cap a ¼ turn.

Note: The small round pattern can be
achieved by closing down the fan
adjustment, triggering the gun lightly,
and maintaining a distance from your
target of 2 to 4 inches (50-100 mm).
Spray Technique
1. To achieve the best results when
spraying material, keep the spray
gun perpendicular to the surface and
maintain a consistent distance of
approximately 6 to 8 inches
(160-200 mm) from the object being
sprayed.
2. Use smooth, even strokes across the
surface to be sprayed with 50%
over-lap.
3. Paint using parallel strokes. This
technique applies all coatings evenly
without cross coating.
