SPRAYING
HOW TO SPRAY PROPERLY
• Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON (I) to turn on the turbine. No
material will spray until the trigger is activated.
• Position the spray gun perpendicular to the spray surface.
• Spray parallel to the surface with straight and full passes at a
consistent speed as illustrated, right.
• Always apply a thin coat of material on the rst pass and allow
to dry before applying a second, slightly heavier coat.
• When spraying, always trigger the spray gun after the spray
pass has begun and release the trigger before stopping the
pass. Always keep the gun pointed squarely at the spray surface
and overlap passes by 50% to obtain the most consistent and
professional nish possible.
Frequently wipe the nozzle tip with a damp rag
when spraying to remove dried material.
Practice your technique (use provided poster).
• Get closer. The spray gun should be 3-6 inches away from the
spray object.
• Full passes. Spray the material in straight and full passes, not
short waves.
• Light coats. For a ner nish, coat lightly during rst pass,
then cover completely on second pass. .
DO NOT pull the trigger when the turbine is
turned OFF. Spray material will leak from the
nozzle.
If after following the guidelines on these
two pages you are still not getting the
spray performance you need, refer to the
‘Troubleshooting’ section on page 12.
