HELPFUL HINTS
1. Evenly control the speed of movement of the spray gun. A fast speed will give a thin coat and a slow speed
will give a thick coat.
2. Only apply one coat at a time. If an additional coat is required, follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions
for drying times.
3. If spraying small areas or objects keep the output setting low as this will avoid
excessive use of paints and will minimize overspray.
4. When spraying large areas or objects, it is best to use a criss-cross pattern, either
from left to right then up or down or vice-versa. This will ensure maximum coverage
(Fig. 5).
5. Avoid stopping and starting when spraying as this can lead to too much or not
enough material on a surface.
6. To ensure edges are covered, commence spraying just to the side of area being
sprayed.
7. CLEAN SPRAYER AFTER EVERY USE (SEE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS)
CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
THE SPRAY GUN MUST BE THOROUGHLY CLEANED IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. IF THE PAINT DRIES
INSIDE THE GUN, CLEANING WILL BECOME MUCH MORE DIFFICULT AND MAY RENDER THE GUN
INOPERABLE. THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE LIMITED WARRANTY.
The spray gun is the same as a paintbrush, if it is not cleaned the paint will go hard and can become useless.
You must therefore clean this out after use.

Pour any leftover paint into its container so that it can be used for the future.
