Getting Started, Unclogging Spray Tip, Aiming Gun

Setup

Getting Started

Use a piece of scrap cardboard to practice these basic spraying techniques before you begin spray- ing the surface.

•Hold gun 12 in. (30 cm) from surface and aim straight at surface. Tilting gun to direct spray angle causes an uneven finish.

To avoid fluid splashback:

• Never pull gun trigger when arrow-shaped han-

dle is between SPRAY and UNCLOG positions.
