HOW TO SPRAY PROPERLY
PRACTICE YOUR TECHNIQUE
• Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON (I) to turn on the turbine.
No material will spray until the trigger is activated.
• Position the spray gun perpendicular to the spray surface.
• Spray parallel to the surface with straight and full passes
at a consistent speed as illustrated, right.
• Always apply a thin coat of material on the rst pass and
allow to dry before applying a second, slightly heavier
coat.
• When spraying, always trigger the spray gun after the
spray pass has begun and release the trigger before
stopping the pass. Always keep the gun pointed squarely
at the spray surface and overlap passes by 50% to obtain
the most consistent and professional nish possible.
i
Frequently wipe the nozzle tip with a
damp rag when spraying to remove dried
material.
Practice your technique (use provided poster).
• Get closer. The spray gun should be 6-8 inches away
from the spray object.
• Full passes. Spray the material in straight and full
passes, not short waves.
• Light coats. For a ner nish, coat lightly during rst
pass, then cover completely on second pass. .
i
DO NOT pull the trigger when the turbine
is turned OFF. Spray material will leak
from the nozzle.
