Page 7: Operation
OPERATION GENERAL PREPARATION Do not use textured wall paints or coatings as they are likely to block the nozzle. To obtain the best results, it is important that you prepare the surface to be sprayed and thin the paint to the correct viscosity before you operate your spray gun. - Page 8 If the paint takes longer than the recommended time to empty, further thinning is required. Mix in a small quantity of the appropriate thinner and repeat the viscosity test until the correct thickness is achieved. Some sprayable materials contain particles and lumps which should be strained before filling the paint container.

In order to achieve consistent and repeatable spray output, adjust the spray volume by turning the trigger stop regulator on the rear of the spray gun as shown in Fig 4. - Page 10 Control the speed of movement of the spray gun evenly. A fast speed of movement over the surface will give a thin coat and a slow speed will give a heavy coat. Apply one coat at a time. If a further coat is required, make sure you observe the manufacturer’s drying time recommendations before applying a second coat.
