PREPARATION 1. Thoroughly mix and thin paint in accordance with the paint manufacturer’s instructions. Most materials will spray readily if thinned properly. 2. Strain material through cheese cloth or a paint strainer. 3. Fill the canister about 3/4 full and start the air compressor. 4.
3. Turn fluid control knob fully clockwise until closed (See Figure 6). 4. Trigger a short burst while turning fluid control knob counterclockwise. Observe the spray pattern on the target and adjust the fluid control knob until the desired pattern (atomization) is obtained (See Figure 7).
4. The amount of paint being applied can be varied by the speed of the stroke, distance from the surface and adjustment of the fluid control knob. 5. Overlap strokes just enough to obtain an even coat (See Figure 11). NOTE: Two thin coats of paint will yield better results and have less chance of runs than one heavy layer.

3. Remove the air cap and soak in solvent until clean. Use a small brush for stubborn stains if necessary. Toothpicks or small brushes may be used to clean air passages; however, NEVER USE METAL OBJECTS TO CLEAN PRECISELY DRILLED PASSAGES. DAMAGED PAS- SAGES WILL CAUSE IMPROPER SPRAYING.
