Testing The Spray Pattern - WAGNER WideShot Owner's Manual

The instructions below will tell you how to achieve the optimum spray pattern by using each of the features illustrated
on the previous page.
1. Turn the flow knob fully counterclockwise to maximum
and speed control to 4.
3. To adjust for your particular spray project, press the
switch on the top of the gun until the sprayer is set at the
desired speed.
5. A poor spray pattern (a) will concentrate the paint in the center of the spray pattern and go on blotchy. A good spray pattern
(b) has an even amount of material throughout the pattern and will go on smoothly.

2. Point the sprayer at a scrap piece of wood or cardboard,
and pull the trigger to prime the sprayer. Release trigger
when material sprays evenly from the spray gun.
4. Turn the flow knob clockwise until you have a good spray
pattern.
• Always practice spraying on a piece of scrap wood or
cardboard to test your spray pattern.
• If you adjust the flow knob and still cannot get a good
pattern, you may need to thin the material you are
using. Always test spraying without thinning the
material. Thin as required to achieve optimum
spraying performance (refer to #5).
• If you are spraying a material that needs to be thinned,
make sure to follow the manufacturer's
recommendations.
