Spraying

POSSIBLE INjEcTION HaZarD. Do not spray without
the tip guard in place. Never trigger the gun unless
the tip is in either the spray or the unclog position.
always engage the gun trigger lock before removing,
replacing, or cleaning tip.

Spraying Technique

The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the entire surface.
This is done by using even strokes. Keep your arm moving at a
constant speed and keep the spray gun at a constant distance from
the surface. The best spraying distance is 10 to 12 inches between
the spray tip and the surface.
Even coat throughout
Keep stroke smooth and at an even speed.
Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This means moving
your entire arm back and forth rather than just flexing your wrist.
Light Coat Heavy Coat
Do not ex wrist while spraying.
Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise one end
of the pattern will be thicker than the other.

The spray gun should be triggered by turning it on and off with each
stroke. This will save paint and avoid paint buildup at the end of the
stroke. Do not trigger the gun during the middle of a stroke. This will
result in an uneven spray and splotchy coverage.
Proper way to trigger the spray gun
Keep stroke
even
Start stroke Pull trigger
Overlap each stroke by about 50%. This will ensure an even coating.
50% Overlap
When you stop painting, lock the gun trigger lock, turn the pressure
control knob counterclockwise to its lowest setting and set the
PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF
position and unplug the sprayer.

Practice

1. Make sure that the paint hose is free of kinks and clear of
objects with sharp cutting edges.
3. Set the pressure to minimum by turning the pressure control
knob to the "Min" setting in the yellow zone.
3. Move the PRIME/SPRAY valve up to its SPRAY position.
4. Turn the pressure control knob clockwise to its highest setting
in the green zone. The paint hose should stiffen as paint
begins to flow through it.
5. Unlock the gun trigger lock.
6. Trigger the spray gun to bleed air out of the hose.
7. When paint reaches the spray tip, spray a test area to check
the spray pattern.
8. Use the lowest pressure setting
necessary to get a good spray
pattern. If the pressure is set too
high, the spray pattern will be
too light. If the pressure is set
too low, tailing will appear or
the paint will spatter out in gobs
rather than in a fine spray.
