OPEARATING INSTRUCTIONS

4. Fill the Paint Cup (F) about 3/4 of the way and

secure the Cup Lid (G) by turning it clockwise.

Load paint

5. With the spray gun 6 in. to 9 in. away from

workpiece, spray a short burst while turning

the fluid knob counterclockwise. Observe the

spray pattern on the workpiece and adjust the

fluid control knob (D) (see Figure 3) until desired

pattern/atomization is obtained. If the spray is too

fine (caused by too much air), reduce the air

pressure or open the fluid control knob (D) to

spray more paint. If the spray is too coarse or

spitting blobs, reduce the amount of paint with the

fluid control knob (D) or thin the paint more

(See Figure 5).

Pattern Consistency (Atomization)

NOTE The fluid control knob (D) can be adjusted

either clockwise or counterclockwise to finely

adjust the pattern consistency. Before spraying on

workpiece, practice a few minutes on a cardboard

target to ensure that the pattern size and consistency

are set correctly.

6. Keep the gun at a 90° angle to the surface (See

Figure 6) while spraying.

6-9 in.

NOTE Always keep the gun in motion while spraying.

Stopping gun movement in mid-stroke will cause a

build-up of paint and will 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 7).
