Techniques
Note: Before spraying, mask all objects you do not want sprayed and lay cloths (not included) on the floors.
1.Always keep the gun at right angles to the workpiece (See FIGURE 5). Pull the Trigger slowly and move the Spray Gun in parallel strokes to the object being painted. Keep the distance from the object being painted at 6” to 9”. This may slightly differ depending on the flow adjustment and the material being sprayed. Do not stop the gun movement while spraying. If you stop the gun for even just a slight pause while spraying, the paint will build up and run down the workpiece.

2.To ensure you don’t allow paint to build up, start moving the Spray Gun before you Squeeze the Trigger. When you are finished spraying, release the Trigger before you stop moving the Spray Gun. Doing so will eliminate distinct overlaps, producing a blended (feathered) affect. See FIGURE 6 below.

Note: The speed of the stroke, the adjustment of the Fluid Control Knob (28a or 29, and the distance from the workpiece, will determine how much paint is being applied. To get the best results, try to apply two thin coats of paint versus one thick coat.
3.Clean out the gun thoroughly after EVERY use, according to the instructions found on the next page.
