SPRAYING
Injection hazard. Do not spray without the tip
guard in place. NEVER trigger the gun unless
the tip is completely turned to either the spray
or the unclog position. ALWAYS engage the
gun trigger lock before removing, replacing or
cleaning tip.
A) The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the
entire surface. Keep your arm moving at a constant
speed and keep the spray gun at a constant distance
from the surface. The best spraying distance is 10-12
inches (25 to 30 cm) between the spray tip and the
surface.

B) Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This
means moving your entire arm back and forth rather
than just flexing your wrist.
Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface,
otherwise one end of the pattern will be thicker than
the other.

C) Trigger gun after starting the stroke. Release the
trigger before ending the stroke. The spray gun should
be moving when the trigger is pulled and released.
Overlap each stroke by about 30%. This will ensure an
even coating.

If very sharp edges result or if there are streaks in
the spray jet – increase the operating pressure
or dilute the coating material.
