Spraying Techniques

Preventing Excessive Tip Wear

•Spray should be atomized (evenly distributed, no gaps at edges). Start at low pressure set- ting, increase pressure a little at a time until you see a good spray pattern, without tails.

•Spray at lowest pressure that atomizes paint.

•If maximum sprayer pressure is not enough for a good spray pattern, tip is too worn. See Reversible Spray Tip Selection Chart, page 16.

NOTE: If tails persist when spraying at the highest pressure, a smaller tip is needed or the material may need to be thinned.

Adjust Spray Pressure

This sprayer is set up for most airless spraying applications. Details on tip selection, tip wear, coat thickness, etc. are provided on page 15.

NOTE: Motor only runs when gun is triggered. Sprayer is designed to stop pumping when gun trigger is released.

Align setting indicator with function symbol on Pressure Control knob, page 10.

•Turning knob to right (clockwise), increases pressure at gun.

•Turning it left (counter-clockwise), decreases pressure.

•General spraying instructions are provided in Getting Started with Basic Spraying Tech- niques section of this manual, page 17.
