Adjust Pressure Control
The pressure control knob allows for infinite pressure adjustment. To reduce overspray, always
start at the lowest pressure setting and increase pressure to the minimum setting that results
in an acceptable spray pattern.
To select function, align symbol on pressure control knob with setting indicator on sprayer.
Tip and Pressure Selection
See table for recommended spray pressure for your material. Refer to paint (material) can for
manufacturer’s recommendations.

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.
