Adjust the Rate
of
Flow
(SEE
FIG.
L)
The sprayed capacity can
he
adjusted by using the flow rate adjusting knob. Adjust the adjusting knob
until the best spray pattern is reached. Tum the adjusting knob clockwise(+) to increase
the flow rate and
tum
it counter-clockwise(-) to decrease the flow rate. A poor spray pattern will
concentrate the paint in the centre
of
the spray and give a blotchy finish. A good spray pattern
will give even distribution
of
paint throughout the pattern.
Spraying Techniques
To obtain the best results, keep a
stiff
wrist. Do not bend your wrist
at
the beginning
or
the end
of
the stroke all times. Keep the nozzle 4
-10
inches from the surfacespray evenly from side to
side
orup
and down, use smooth and even strokes. (See Fig.
M1
).
If
the spraying angle is inconsistent, the spraying distance is too close
or
too far from the wall,
it
·
will cause uneven spraying. Too far away may result in overspray (and wasted liquid), and too
close may cause liquid build-up (runs).
Do
not spray as showing in the picture. (Fig.
M2.)

NOTE:
• Make sure that you have masked the areas that should not be sprayed
by
a good quality
masking tape.
• The intended area to be sprayed should
be
pretreated to be smooth and clean, free from
dust.
