Operation
Always practice first. Make the gun
adjustments on a test surface such as
cardboard before spraying the project.
1. Keep the gun 4" - 9" from, and
parallel to the surface of the object
being sprayed. (See Figure 11). If
the material delivery is adjusted
for a small narrow pat tern, it may
be necessary to move as close as 2"
from the work surface.

2. Move the gun in a smooth even
stroke. Begin the stroke before
pulling the trigger and continue the
stroke after releasing the trigger.
3. For best results overlap each stroke
by 25 to 50%.
4. To adjust the spray pattern "type",
turn the air cap to the desired
pattern position (See Figure 12).

the air flow control knob clock wise
to de crease and counterclockwise to
in crease air flow (See Figure 14).

Reducing the air flow also reduces
overspray.
NOTICE
blow-dry those areas that are too heavily
coated, or slow in drying.
The air from the turbine is warm as a
result of normal operation. This can
affect the finish quality on hot dry
days due to premature drying of some
coatings such as lacquer. Retarding
agents can be added to the material
to resolve this condition. Consult the
material supplier for the proper re tard-
ing agent, and mixing procedures.
