SPRAYING
Frequently wipe the nozzle tip with a damp
i
rag when spraying to remove dried material.
HOW TO SPRAY PROPERLY
•
Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON (I) to turn on the turbine.
No material will spray until the trigger is activated.
•
Position the spray gun perpendicular to the spray surface.
•
Spray parallel to the surface with straight and full passes
at a consistent speed as illustrated, right.
•
Always apply a thin coat of material on the first pass and
allow to dry before applying a second, slightly heavier
coat.
•
When spraying, always trigger the spray gun after the
spray pass has begun and release the trigger before
stopping the pass. Always keep the gun pointed squarely
at the spray surface and overlap passes by 50% to obtain
the most consistent and professional finish possible.

PRACTICE YOUR TECHNIQUE
Practice your technique (use provided poster).
•
Get closer. The spray gun should be 6-8 inches away
from the spray object.
•
Full passes.
Spray the material in straight and full
passes, not short waves.
•
Light coats. For a finer finish, coat lightly during first
pass, then cover completely on second pass. .
DO NOT pull the trigger when the turbine is
i
turned OFF. Spray material will leak from the
nozzle.
If after following the guidelines on these
i
two pages you are still not getting the
spray performance you need, refer to the
'Troubleshooting' section on page 12.
Keep stroke smooth and at an even speed
