Getting Started with Basic
Techniques
Use a piece of scrap cardboard to practice these basic
spraying techniques before you begin spraying the
surface.
• Hold sprayer 10 in. (25 cm) from surface and aim
straight at surface. Tilting sprayer to direct spray angle
causes an uneven finish.
• Flex wrist to keep sprayer pointed straight. Fanning
sprayer to direct spray at angle causes uneven
finish.
NOTE: How fast you move the sprayer will affect spray
application. If material is pulsating, you are moving too fast.
If material drips, you are moving too slow. See Trouble-
shooting, page 20.
Triggering Sprayer
Pull trigger after starting stroke. Release trigger before end
of stroke. Sprayer must be moving when trigger is pulled
and released.
Aiming Sprayer
Aim tip of sprayer at bottom edge of previous stroke, over-
lapping each stroke by half.
