How to Spray

Take a few moments prior to spraying and re-

view these simple tips to ensure your spray-

ing project is a success.

Dual Speed Control

(Not available on all units)

The speed control feature allows you to slow

down or speed up when spraying.

•

Turn the dual speed control to LOW to

slow down the speed of application when

first learning to spray or when spraying

small items that require more control.

•

The LOW setting delivers more control

and reduces overspray when spraying

thinner materials such as stain.

•

Turn the dual speed control to HIGH

when you want to get to job done fast and

when spraying large surfaces.

•

To reduce overspray, always spray at

lowest speed that results in an accept-

able spray pattern.

Spray Techniques

Use a piece of scrap cardboard to practice

these basic spraying techniques before you

begin spraying the surface.

•

Hold sprayer 10 in. (25 cm) from surface

and aim straight at surface. Tilting the

sprayer to direct the spray angle causes

an uneven finish.

•

Flex wrist to keep sprayer pointed

straight. Fanning sprayer to direct spray

at angle causes uneven finish.

NOTE:

How fast you move the sprayer will

affect spray application. If material is pulsat-

ing, you are moving too fast. If material drips,

you are moving too slow. See
