TECHNIQUES
1.Always keep the Spray Gun at right angles to the workpiece. Pull the Trigger (6) 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 paint/ fluid being sprayed. Do not stop the
Spray Gun movement while spraying.
3.NOTE: The speed of the stroke, the adjustment of the Fluid Control Screw (19), and the distance from the work- piece will determine how much paint/ fluid is being applied. To get the best results, try to apply two thin coats of paint/fluid versus one thick coat.
4.When finished, thoroughly clean out the Paint Sprayer and its accessories.
