Adjust Spray Pattern; Surface Preparation - WAGNER Control Spray Guide D'utilisation

Adjust Spray Pattern

The spray pattern shape is adjusted by turning the
ears of the air cap to either the vertical, horizontal, or
diagonal positions. The positions of the air cap and the
corresponding spray pattern shapes are illustrated below.
Test each pattern and use whichever pattern is suitable
for your application.
Round pattern
Horizontal pattern
Vertical pattern
NEVER trigger the gun while adjusting the ears
on the air cap. NEVER point the spray gun at any
part of the body.
Material Flow Adjustment
Set the material volume by turning the regulator on the
trigger of the spray gun.
Spraying
Proper Spraying Technique
If spraying with an HVLP spray system is new or
unfamiliar to you, it is advisable to practice on a piece
of scrap wood or cardboard before beginning on your
intended workpiece.

Surface Preparation

All objects to be sprayed should be thoroughly cleaned before
spraying material on them. Areas not to be sprayed may, in
certain cases, need to be masked or covered.

blowing dust onto your freshly sprayed surface.
How to Spray Properly
5
• Position the spray gun perpendicular to and one (1) or
more inches from the spray surface, depending upon
the spray pattern size desired.
• Spray parallel to the surface with smooth passes at
a consistent speed as illustrated below. Doing this
will help 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.
Even coat throughout
Keep stroke smooth and at an even speed
• 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.
