Turning the output control knob clockwise reduces the flow of material whilst turning it anti-clockwise
increases the flow. To adjust the pattern undertake the following:
1. Turn the output control knob anti-clockwise to the maximum position.
2. Pull the trigger and test the pattern on a piece of cardboard or
newspaper.
3. Turn the output control knob clockwise from the maximum position until
the spray pattern is correct.
If you have undertaken the above and you still cannot obtain a good spray
pattern then the material being sprayed probably requires further thinning.

USING THE OUTPUT CONTROL KNOB
SPRAYING TECHNIQUE
To obtain best results keep the Paint Sprayer level and square to the surface being sprayed. The Paint
Sprayer works best if the Nozzle is kept about 25 – 30 cms (10” – 12”) from the surface being sprayed;
(See Fig. 4) This will result in consistent, even coverage. To avoid overlap of the paint and therefore
uneven coverage, we recommend that the Paint Sprayer be momentarily turned off whenever you
change direction.
Move the Paint Sprayer at an even speed. A fast speed will give a thin coat and a slow speed will give
a thicker coat. Never tilt the spray gun more than 45˚ as this could result in paint getting into the motor
and cause serious damage.
