Spray Techniques
Use a piece of scrap cardboard to practice
these basic spraying techniques before you
begin spraying the surface.
• Hold gun 12 in. (30 cm) from surface
and aim straight at surface. Tilting gun
to direct spray angle causes an uneven
finish.
• Flex wrist to keep gun pointed straight.
Fanning gun to direct spray at angle
causes uneven finish.
Triggering Gun
Pull trigger after starting stroke. Release
trigger before end of stroke. Gun must be
moving when trigger is pulled and released.
Aiming Gun
Aim center of spray of gun at bottom edge of
previous stroke, overlapping each stroke by
half.
Aligning Spray Pattern
1. Relieve pressure. See Pressure Relief
Procedure, page 14. Engage trigger lock.
2. Align guard horizontally to spray a horizontal
pattern.
3. Align guard vertically to spray a vertical pat-
tern.
High-pressure spray is able to inject toxins
into the body and cause serious bodily
injury. Do not stop leaks with hand or rag.
