PROPER SPRAYING TECHNIQUE
STOP
The item you are spraying must be properly masked in order to prevent overspray from covering woodwork, oors or other
furnishings.
If spraying with an air-assisted spray system is new or unfamiliar to you, it is advisable to practice on a piece of scrap wood or cardboard
before beginning on your intended workpiece and/or test with water.
SURFACE PREPARATION
All objects to be sprayed should be thoroughly cleaned before spraying material on them. Areas not to be sprayed may, in certain cases, need
to be masked or covered.
SPRAY AREA PREPARATION
The spray area must be clean and free of dust in order to avoid blowing dust onto your freshly sprayed surface.
HOW TO SPRAY PROPERLY
STOP
It is important to keep your arm moving whenever the gun is being triggered. If you pause or linger in one spot too long,
too much material will be sprayed to the surface.
STOP
Partially pulling the trigger will start the turbine, but no material will spray until the trigger is pulled fully. It is recommended
that the trigger rst be pulled partially in order to start the turbine before a spray pass is made.

• Position the spray gun perpendicular to and 3-6 inches (Control
Spray) or 6-8 inches (iSpray) from the spray surface, depending
upon the spray pattern size desired. With reduced material ow
and air power, you can get closer to the spraying surface.
• Spray parallel to the surface with smooth passes at a consistent
speed as illustrated, right. Doing this will help avoid irregularities
in the nish (i. e. runs and sags).
• Always apply a thin coat of material on the rst pass and allow to
dry before applying a second, slightly heavier coat.
• When spraying larger surfaces, overlap each spray pass by at least
50% This will ensure full coverage.
• When spraying, always trigger the spray gun after spray pass has
begun and release trigger before stopping the pass. Always keep
the gun pointed squarely at the spray surface and overlap passes
slightly to obtain the most consistent and professional nish
possible.

During a project, periodically wipe the nozzle tip with a
cloth to remove any dried paint.
i
When you quit spraying for any length of time, unplug the
sprayer. When you restart, wipe the nozzle with a damp
cloth to remove any dried paint.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT sit or stand on the Power Box.
