General Operating Instructions
Note: Before spraying, mask all objects
you do not want sprayed and lay
cloths (not included) on the oors.
1.

(Heavier coat on
one side = uneven
coverage)
(Even coverage)
Keep the spray gun at a right angle to
the workpiece - See Figure 3.
2. Pull the Trigger slowly and move the
Spray Gun in parallel strokes to the
object being painted. Keep the dis-
tance from the object being painted at
6” to 9”. This may slightly differ de-
pending on the ow adjustment and
the material being sprayed. Do not
stop the spray gun movement while
spraying. If you stop the spray gun for
even just a slight pause while spray-
ing, the paint will build up and run
down the workpiece.

To avoid paint build up, start moving
the Spray Gun before you squeeze
the Trigger. When you are nished
spraying, release the Trigger before
you stop moving the Spray Gun. Do-
ing so will eliminate distinct overlaps,
producing a blended (feathered) af-
fect - See Figure 4.
Note: The speed of the stroke, the adjust-
ment of the Fluid Control Knob, and
the distance from the workpiece, will
determine how much paint is being
applied. To get the best results, try to
apply two thin coats of paint versus
one thick coat.
4. Do not block the Cup Vent. Keep the
Spray Gun upright.
5. To prevent accidents, release the
trigger, detach the air supply, safely
discharge any residual air pressure in
the spray gun, and release the trigger
after use.
6. Clean out the spray gun thor-
oughly immediately after EVERY
use, according to the instructions
found on the next pages.
IMPORTANT: Clean the Spray Gun IMMEDIATELY after use.
Improper cleaning will cause the Spray Gun not to work.
