SPRAYING TECHNIQUE
Injection hazard. Do not spray without the tip
guard in place. NEVER trigger the gun unless the
tip is completely turned to either the spray or the
unclog position. ALWAYS engage the gun trigger
lock before removing, replacing or cleaning tip.
A) The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the
entire surface. Keep your arm moving at a constant speed
and keep the spray gun at a constant distance from the
surface. The best spraying distance is 10-12 inches (25 to
30 cm) between the spray tip and the surface.
A
B) Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This
means moving your entire arm back and forth rather than
just flexing your wrist.
Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise
one end of the pattern will be thicker than the other.
B
C) Trigger gun after starting the stroke. Release the trigger
before ending the stroke. The spray gun should be moving
when the trigger is pulled and released. Overlap each
stroke by about 30%. This will ensure an even coating.

CLEANING A CLOGGED TIP

If the spray pattern becomes distorted or stops
i
completely while pulling the trigger, perform the
steps below.
1. Turn the pressure control knob counterclockwise to
minimum pressure.
2. Turn the relief valve to PRIME (k circulation).
3. If the tip clogs, rotate the tip handle 180° until the arrow
on the handle is facing the opposite of the spray direction
and the handle clicks in the reverse position (Fig. 11).
4. Turn the relief valve to SPRAY (p spray).
5. Trigger the gun once so that the pressure can blow the
clog out. NEVER use the tip in the reverse position for
more than ONE trigger pull at a time. This procedure can
be repeated until the tip is free of clogging.
The flow from the spray tip is at very high pressure.
Contact with any body part may be dangerous.
Do not place finger on gun outlet. Do not point
the gun at any person. Never operate the spray
gun without the proper tip guard.
