Spraying

Spraying Technique

The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the entire surface.
This is done by using even strokes. Keep your arm moving at a
constant speed and keep the spray gun at a constant distance from
the surface. The best spraying distance is 10 to 12 inches between
the spray tip and the surface.
Even coat throughout
Keep stroke smooth and at an even speed.
Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This means moving
your entire arm back and forth rather than just flexing your wrist.
Light Coat Heavy Coat
Do not ex wrist while spraying.
Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise one end
of the pattern will be thicker than the other.
Approximately
10 to 12 inches
Right way
Wrong way
The spray gun should be triggered by turning it on and off with each
stroke. This will save paint and avoid paint buildup at the end of the
stroke. Do not trigger the gun during the middle of a stroke. This will
result in an uneven spray and splotchy coverage.

Overlap each stroke by about 50%. This will ensure an even coating.
When you stop painting, lock the gun trigger lock, turn the pressure
control knob counterclockwise to its lowest setting and set the
PRIME/SPRAY knob to PRIME. Turn the motor switch to OFF and
unplug the sprayer.
If you expect to be gone more than 1 hour, follow the short term
clean up procedure described in the CLEANUP section of this manual.

Practice

1. Be sure that the paint hose is free of kinks and clear of objects
with sharp cutting edges.
2. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to its to its
lowest setting.

3. Turn the PRIME/SPRAY knob to SPRAY.
4. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise to its highest
setting. The paint hose should stiffen as material begins to
flow through it.
5. Unlock the gun trigger
lock by turning the
switch so that it is
parallel to the handle.
6. Trigger the spray gun
to bleed air out of the
hose.
7. When paint reaches the
spray tip, spray a test
area to check the spray
pattern.
8. Use the lowest pressure
setting necessary to get a good spray pattern. If the pressure
is set too high, the spray pattern will be too light. If the
pressure is set too low, tailing will appear or the paint will
spatter out in gobs rather than in a fine spray.
