3. Set the air compressor to slightly higher than the recommended
operating pressure, but do not exceed the maximum air pressure (see
Specifications). Air pressure may drop when using a long air hose.
4. Fill the paint cup.
5. Adjust the tool's pressure regulator to the recommended operating
pressure by either tightening or loosening the air adjusting knob.
a. The ideal pressure will vary depending on viscosity and type of
paint. Make adjustments as needed or thin the paint if too thick.
6. Unscrew the fluid adjusting screw to allow the fluid to flow.
7. Spray against the cardboard backdrop to test the paint coverage. Adjust
the pattern adjustment valve to obtain the desired paint pattern. Adjust
the air and paint flow until the desired coverage is reached.
HOW TO PAINT WITH THE SPRAY GUN
1. Ensure that the gun is between 6 and 8 in. from the workpiece. The needed
distance will vary depending on the atomization pressure and work demand.
a. If the spray gun is too close or too far, the finish will not be even.
As a rule of thumb, the distance from the work surface should
equal the longest dimension of the spray pattern coverage.
2. Grip the gun firmly and keep it perpendicular (90°) to the surface of the
workpiece at all times.
3. Move the gun in a straight horizontal line. Press the trigger after
starting the movement and release before ending the movement. This
ensures an even coating (Fig. 1).
