how To SPRAY PRoPeRlY
It is important to keep your arm moving whenever the gun is
STOP being triggered. If you pause or linger in one spot too long,
too much material will be sprayed to the surface.
partially pulling the trigger will start the turbine, but no
STOP material will spray until the trigger is pulled fully. It is
recommended that the trigger first be pulled partially in
order to start the turbine before a spray pass is made.
•
position the spray gun perpendicular to and six (6) to eight (8) inches from the
spray surface, depending upon the spray pattern size desired. with reduced
material flow and air power, you can get closer to the spraying surface.
•
Spray parallel to the surface with smooth passes at a consistent speed as
illustrated below. doing this will help avoid irregularities in the finish (i. e.
runs and sags).
•
Always apply a thin coat of material on the first pass and allow to dry before
applying a second, slightly heavier coat.
•
when spraying larger surfaces, overlap each spray pass by at least 50% this
will ensure full coverage.
•
when spraying, always trigger the spray gun after spray pass has begun and release trigger before stopping the pass. Always
keep the gun pointed squarely at the spray surface and overlap passes slightly to obtain the most consistent and professional
finish possible.
during a project, periodically wipe the nozzle tip with a cloth to remove any dried paint.
STOP
when you quit spraying for any length of time, unplug the sprayer. when you restart, wipe the nozzle with a damp
cloth to remove any dried paint.
