OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4. With the spray gun 6 in. to 9 in. away from
workpiece, spray a short burst while
turning the fluid knob counterclockwise.
Observe the spray pattern on the
workpiece and adjust the fluid control
knob (G1/G2) (see Figure 3) until desired
pattern/atomization is obtained. If the
spray is too fine (caused by too much air),
reduce the air pressure or open the fluid
control knob (G1/G2) to spray more paint.
If the spray is too coarse or spitting blobs,
reduce the amount of paint with the fluid
control knob (G1/G2) or thin the paint
more (See Figure 4).
NOTE
The fluid control knob (G1/G2) can be
adjusted either clockwise or
counterclockwise to finely adjust the pattern
consistency. Before spraying on workpiece,
practice a few minutes on a cardboard
target to ensure that the pattern size and
consistency are set correctly.
5. Keep the gun at a 90° angle to the surface
(see Figure 5) while spraying.
NOTE
Always keep the gun in motion while
spraying. Stopping gun movement in
mid-stroke will cause a build-up of paint and
will result in runs. Do not fan the gun from
side to side while painting. This will cause a
build-up of paint in the center of the stroke
and an insufficient coating at each end
(See Figure 6).
