1. Turn the ow knob fully counterclockwise to maximum.
3. Turn the ow knob clockwise until you have a good
spray pattern.
2. Point the sprayer at a scrap piece of wood or cardboard,
and pull the trigger to prime the sprayer. Release trigger
when material sprays evenly from the spray gun.
4. A poor spray pattern (a) will concentrate the paint in
the center of the spray pattern and go on blotchy. A
good spray pattern (b) has an even amount of material
throughout the pattern and will go on smoothly.

b)
• Always practice spraying on a piece of scrap wood or cardboard to test your spray pattern.
• If you adjust the ow knob and still cannot get a good pattern, you may need to thin the material you are using.
Always test spraying without thinning the material. Thin as required to achieve optimum spraying performance
(refer to #4).
• If you are spraying a material that needs to be thinned, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Thinning the Material:
Always test spraying without thinning the material.
If you are spraying with a material that needs to be thinned, make sure to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Overspray:
IMPORTANT
Some sprayed materials create a cloud of paint. Some of that cloud will spray past your intended object and also bounce off of
it. Wind and air currents may cause this cloud to drift onto surfaces not intended to be sprayed. You can control the amount of
overspray and bounce-back by adjusting your ow and moving the sprayer closer to the work piece, but always make sure that
you have a good spray pattern. Always test your pattern on a scrap piece of wood or cardboard, and make sure that you have
drop cloths protecting anything not being sprayed.
Anything you don’t want painted that is in the area of your spraying surface should be covered or removed.
