the stroke and
always keep the gun in motion
while spraying. Stopping gun
movement in mid-stroke will cause
a build up of paint and 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 the stroke and an
insufficient coating at each end
(See Figure 8).

3. Trigger the gun properly. Start the
gun moving at the beginning of
the stroke BEFORE SQUEEZING
tHE tRIGGER and release the
trigger BEFORE StOPPING GUN
MOVEMENt at the end of the
stroke. This procedure will feather
(blend) each stroke with the
next without showing overlap or
unevenness (See Figure 9).
All compressor pumps discharge some condensed water, oil or contaminates
with the compressed air.
IMPORtANt: This condensation will cause "fish eyes" to appear in the paint
job. Install appropriate water / oil removal equipment and controls as necessary
for the intended application. Locate filter as close to spray gun as possible.

4. The amount of paint being applied
can be varied by the speed of the
stroke, distance from the surface
and adjustment of the fluid control
knob.
5. Overlap strokes just enough to
Thin coat
obtain an even coat (See Figure 10).

NOtE: Two thin coats of paint will yield
better results and have less chance of
runs than one heavy layer.
6. Use a piece of cardboard as a shield
to catch overspray at the edges of
the work to protect other surfaces.
Use masking tape to cover other
areas if needed.
WAtER / OIL IN COMPRESSED AIR
Failure to install appropriate water/oil removal equipment
may result in damage to machinery or workpiece.

use. Paint and other materials dry
quickly in the small passages rendering
gun useless due to the difficulty of
removing hardened paint from the
passages inside the gun.
NOtE: In the instructions below, the
use of the word "solvent" refers to the
specific solvent for the material used
(example: lacquer thinner for lacquer,
etc.).
