How to Spray
Take a few moments prior to spraying and
review these simple tips to ensure your
spraying project is a success.
Dual Speed Control
(Not available on all units)
The dual speed control feature allows you to
slow down or speed up when spraying.
•
Turn the dual speed control to LOW to
slow down the speed of application when
first learning to spray or when spraying
small items that require more control.
•
The LOW setting delivers more control
and will reduce overspray when spraying
thinner materials such as stain.
•
Turn the dual speed control to HIGH
when you want to get to job done fast and
when spraying large surfaces.
•
To reduce overspray, always spray at
lowest speed that results in an
acceptable spray pattern.
Variable Speed Control
(Not available on all units)
The variable speed control feature allows you
infinite speed control to slow down or speed
up to best suit your material and project.
•
Turn the variable speed control to lower
speed settings to slow down the speed of
application when first learning to spray or
when spraying small items that require
more control.
•
The lower speed settings deliver more
control and will reduce overspray when
spraying thinner materials such as stain.
•
Turn the variable speed control to higher
speed settings when you want to get the
job done fast and when spraying large
surfaces.

•
To reduce overspray, always start at
lowest speed setting and increase speed
to the minimum setting that results in an
acceptable spray pattern.
Spray Techniques
Use a piece of scrap cardboard to practice
these basic spraying techniques before you
begin spraying the surface.
•
Hold sprayer 10 in. (25 cm) from surface
and aim straight at surface. Tilting the
sprayer to direct the spray angle causes
an uneven finish.
•
Flex wrist to keep sprayer pointed
straight. Fanning sprayer to direct spray
at angle causes uneven finish.
NOTE: How fast you move the sprayer will
affect spray application. If material is
pulsating, you are moving too fast. If material
drips, you are moving too slow. See
Replacement Parts, page 28.
