Spraying

POSSIBLE INJECTION HAZARD. Do not spray without
the tip guard in place. Never trigger the gun unless
the tip is in either the spray or the unclog position.
Always engage the gun trigger lock before removing,
replacing, or cleaning tip.

Spraying Technique

The following techniques, if followed, will assure professional
painting results.
Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface and always at equal
distance from the surface. Depending on the type of material,
surface, or desired spray pattern, the gun should be held at a distance
of 12 to 14 inches (30 to 35 cm).
Move the gun either across or up and down the surface at a steady
rate. Moving the gun at a consistent speed conserves material and
provides even coverage. The correct spraying speed allows a full, wet
coat of paint to be applied without runs or sags.
Holding the gun closer to the surface deposits more paint on the
surface and produces a narrower spray pattern. Holding the gun
farther from the surface produces a thinner coat and wider spray
pattern. If runs, sags, or excessive paint occur, change to a spray tip
with a smaller orifice. If there is an insufficient amount of paint on
the surface or you desire to spray faster, a larger orifice tip should be
selected.
Maintain uniform spray stroke action. Spray alternately from left to
right and right to left. Begin movement of the gun before the trigger
is pulled.
