OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5. Keep the gun at a 90° angle to the surface while
spraying (see Figure 5).
6. For proper spraying techniques, start by moving the
gun at the beginning of the stroke before squeezing
the trigger. Always release the trigger before stopping
gun movement at the end of the stroke. This
procedure will feather/blend each stroke with the next
without showing overlap or unevenness. 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 and 7).
NOTE: The amount of paint being applied can be varied
by the speed of stroke, distance from workpiece and
adjustment of the fluid spray pattern adjustment knob (G).
If the speed stroke is too slow, the paint will be wet on the
workpiece and it may run. If the speed stroke is too fast,
the paint will be dry and uneven on the workpiece.
7. Overlap strokes just enough to obtain an even coat
(See Figure 8).
NOTE:
Two thin coats of paint will yield better spraying
results and have less chance of runs than one heavy
layer.
NOTE: Use a piece of cardboard as a shield to catch
overspray at the edges of the workpiece to protect
other surfaces. Use masking tape to cover other areas
if needed.
