How to Spray
Speed Control
The speed control allows for infinite pressure
adjustment. To reduce overspray, always
start at lowest speed setting and increase
speed to the minimum setting that results in
an acceptable spray pattern.

•
Flex wrist to keep sprayer pointed
straight. Fanning sprayer to direct spray
at angle causes uneven finish.
NOTE: How fast you move the sprayer will
affect spray application. If material is uneven,
you are moving too fast. If material drips, you
are moving too slow. See Troubleshooting,
page 30.
