How to Spray

17

Fluid Control:

Set knob to OFF. Increase fluid until desired 

flow is attained.

Air Control:

Start  with  air  control  at  the 

+

  position.  To

decrease  atomization  of  fluid,  adjust  air

control toward the 

-

 position.

Pattern Size Control:

Additional  control  of  the  pattern  size  is

available by rotation of the air cap retaining

ring. Start with the fluid nozzle flush with the

center surface of the air cap. Pattern size can

be adjusted by rotating the retaining ring in

either direction. 

Spray Techniques

Use a piece of scrap cardboard to practice

spraying  techniques  before  spraying  the

work piece.

Always spray with the least amount of 
pressure required to provide the desired 

spray pattern and rate of application. 

Spraying at pressures higher than 

necessary wastes material and can 

result in an orange peel finish.

Aim gun straight at surface. Tilting gun to 
direct spray angle causes an uneven 

finish.

Flex wrist to keep gun pointed straight. 
Fanning gun to direct spray at angle 

causes uneven finish.
