4. With gun 6-9 in. away from workpiece, spray a
short burst while turning the fluid knob
counterclockwise. Observe the spray pattern on
the workpiece and adjust the fluid control knob (G)
until desired pattern/atomization is obtained. If the
spray is too fine, which is caused by too much air
from the amount of paint being sprayed, reduce
the air pressure or open the fluid control knob (G)
to spray more paint. If the spray is too coarse/
spitting blobs, reduce the amount of paint with
the fluid control knob (G) or thin the paint more.
(See Figure 4)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5. Keep the gun at the right angle as shown while
spraying. (See Figure 5)
NOTE
The fluid control knob (G) can be adjusted
either clockwise or counterclockwise to finely
adjust pattern consistency. Before spraying on
workpiece, practice a few minutes on a cardboard
target to ensure that the pattern size and
consistency are set correctly.
NOTE
Always keep the gun in motion while
spraying. Stopping gun movement in mid-stroke
will cause a build-up of paint and will result in runs.
Do not fan the gun from side to side while painting.
This will cause a build-up of paint in the center of
stroke and an insufficient coating at each end.
