• To get an even spray distribution, always keep your arm at the
same distance (
figure I
) from the surface you are spraying and
avoid moving your wrist (
figure J
).
• Maintain smooth and consistent speed which will help avoid
inconsistencies. Begin spraying after the pass has begun and
release trigger before stopping the pass.
• Avoid spraying too heavily in any one area. Several lighter coats
are better than one heavy coat which can lead to running and
dripping. Remember that the flow control knob regulates the
amount of liquid that can be sprayed. Turning the flow knob
clockwise increases the flow of liquid. Turning the knob
counterclockwise decreases the flow of liquid. If runs or drips do
occur, have a dry paint brush on hand to smooth them out.
• Turn the power unit off and place the sprayer in the built-in dock
of the power unit when not spraying for any length of time.
