Never trying spray material which viscosity higher
than the spray gun can withstand, NSG0110
viscosity spec at MAX 100-DINs
HOW TO SPRAY PROPERLY
Position the spray gun perpendicular to and 2 or
more inches from the spray surface, depending on
the spray pattern size desired
Spray parallel to the surface with smooth passes
at a consistent speed as shown below. Doing this
will avoid irregularities in the finish. (.i.e runs and
sags)
Always apply a thin coat of material on the first
pass and allow to dry before applying a second,
slightly heavier coat.
Keep stroke smooth and at an even speed
Always spray area from a minimum of 50mm (2
inches) to a maximum of 300mm (12 inches).To
get an even spray distribution. Always keep your
arm at the same distance from the surface you are
spraying and avoid flex wrist while spraying
When spraying, always trigger the spray gun after
spray pass has begun and release trigger before
stopping the pass. Always keep the gun pointed
squarely at the spray surface and overlap passes
slightly to obtain the most consistent and
professional finish possible.

When you quit spraying for any length of time, turn
the power unit OFF and place the spray gun into
the built-in dock on the power unit.
A commonly used method for spraying a large
surface is the “crisscross” pattern. This is done by
spraying in horizontal strips and then crossing
over these strips with vertical strips.
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. If runs or drips do occur, have
a dry paint brush on hand to smooth them out.
CLEAN AND MAINTENANCE
Before you begin:
When cleaning, use the appropriate cleaning
solution (warm, soapy water for water-based
material like latex; mineral sprits for oil-based
material)
Special cleanup instruction for use with
flammable solvents (must have a flashpoint
above 70°F (21°C)
•
Always flush spray gun outside
•
Area must be free of flammable vapors
•
Cleaning area must be well-ventilated
•
Do not submerge power unit
1. Unplug tool. Trigger the spray gun so that the
material inside the spray gun flows back into
the canister
2. Unscrew the canister. Empty any remaining
material back into the material container.
3. Pour a small amount of the appropriate
cleaning solution into the canister. Clean
canister and pickup tube and properly dispose
of cleaning solution. Refill the canister with
NEW cleaning solution.
