Practice Spraying
You will need:
• a scrap piece of wood or cardboard
IMpORTanT - read before spraying
priming the Sprayer
Once you are ready to spray, it may take 20 seconds for
material to spray after you pull the trigger.
The sprayer may sound choppy, while at the same time spit or
spray large globs briefly prior to the spray coming out in a fine
mist. This is normal.
Keep holding the trigger and material will come from the
sprayer in a fine mist.
Flow Control Knob:
The spray pattern is controlled by the Flow Control Knob on
the rear of the sprayer, and by the thickness of the material
being sprayed.
Turning the flow knob counterclockwise increases the
amount of material flow. Turning the flow knob clockwise
decreases the amount of material flow.
practice Spraying:
1. Turn the flow knob fully counterclockwise to maximum.
2. Point the sprayer at a scrap piece of wood or cardboard,
and pull the trigger to prime the sprayer. Release trigger
when material sprays evenly from the spray gun.
3. Turn the flow knob clockwise until you have a good spray
pattern.
4. A poor spray pattern (a) will concentrate the paint in the
center of the spray pattern and go on blotchy.
A good spray pattern (b) has an even amount of material
throughout the pattern and will go on smoothly.
notes:
• Always practice spraying on a piece of scrap wood or
cardboard to test your spray pattern.
• If you adjust the flow knob and still cannot get a good
pattern, you may need to thin the material you are using.
Always test spraying without thinning the material. Thin
as required to achieve optimum spraying performance
(refer to #4).
• If you are spraying a material that needs to be
thinned, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
