OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
7. For proper spraying techniques, start by
moving the gun at the beginning of the
stroke before squeezing the trigger.
Always release the trigger before stopping
gun movement at the end of the stroke.
This procedure will feather/blend each
stroke with the next without showing
overlap or unevenness (See Figure 7).
NOTE: Always keep the gun in motion while
spraying. Stopping gun movement in
mid-stroke will cause a build-up of paint
and will result in runs. Do not fan the
gun from side to side while painting. This
will cause a build-up of paint in the center
of the stroke and an insufficient coating at
each end (See Figure 8).
NOTE: The amount of paint being applied
can be varied by the speed of stroke,
distance from workpiece and adjustment
of the fluid spray pattern adjustment
knob (C). If the speed stroke is too slow,
the paint will be wet on the workpiece and
it may run. If the speed stroke is too fast,
the paint will be dry and uneven on the
workpiece.
8. Overlap strokes just enough to obtain an
even coat (See Figure 9).
NOTE: Two thin coats of paint will yield better
spraying results and have less chance of
runs than one heavy layer.
9. Use a piece of cardboard as a shield to
catch overspray at the edges of the
workpiece to protect other surfaces. Use
masking tape to cover other areas if
needed.
