SPRAYING TECHNIQUE

1.To obtain the best results always keep your spray gun level and at an equal distance from the object you are spraying, idealy 25-30cm (10”-12”) (side to side or up or down) from the surface. Avoid spraying at an angle as this will lead to runs on the surface (Fig.4a-4c).

2.Let your arm control the left to right movement rather than your wrist as this will help to give you an even paint distribution over the whole area.

3.Do not tip the Spray Gun to more than a 45˚ angle when the motor is switched off.

4.You can tip the Spray Gun at more of an angle when spraying celings and decking etc, providing that the motor is switched ON. For spraying at angles, please change the direction of the Paint Feed Tube (11) to the opposite angle that you are spraying, where there is more paint in the container.

HELPFUL HINTS

1.Evenly control the speed of movement of the spray gun. A fast speed will give a thin coat and a slow speed will give a heavy coat.

2.Only apply one coat at a time. If a further coat is required follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions for drying times.

3.If spraying small areas or objects keep the output setting low as this will

 

avoid excessive use of paints and will minimise overspray.

 

4.

When spraying large areas or objects, it is best to use a criss-cross

 

 

pattern, either from left to right then up or down or vice-versa. This will

 

 

ensure maximum coverage.

 

5.

Avoid stopping and starting when spraying as this can lead to too much

 

 

or not enough material on a surface.

 

6.

To ensure edges are covered, commence spraying just to the side of

Let go of the trigger at the

 

area being sprayed

end of each spray
