How to Spray How to Spray Take a few moments prior to spraying and review these simple tips to ensure your spraying project is a success. Dual Speed Control (Not available on all units) 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.
How to Spray Aiming Sprayer EVEN FINISH THIN THICK Aim sprayer at bottom edge of previous stroke, overlapping each stroke by half. THIN ti23378a Rotating the spray tip guard changes the pattern to either the vertical or horizontal orientations. ti23375a Triggering Sprayer When spraying vertical corners turn spray tip guard to the horizontal orientation and move sprayer up and down. Pull trigger after starting stroke. Release trigger before end of stroke.
How to Spray Spray Pattern Quality If you see pulsations in the pattern, try the following: A good spray pattern is evenly distributed as it hits the surface. If tails persist, material may need to be thinned. If material needs to be thinned follow manufacturers recommendations.
