Model H8116 Spray Gun -11-
6. Adjust the air flow control knob to start
with a low volume of material and keep
the atomization as low as possible. You
will need to use a combination of inlet
air pressure, air flow control, and stroke
speed to achieve the results you want.
Spray so the material has a consis-
tently glossy-wet look without dry spots
or primer showing through. Make mul-
tiple coats if required, to avoid running
or sagging. Follow the paint or lacquer
manufacturer's instructions for applica-
tion.
7. Rotate the pattern control knob to
adjust the spray fan between the two
patterns in Figure 3.

8. Keep the gun tip perpendicular and
parallel to the work surface as you
spray from a distance of 6-8" as shown
in Figure 4. Do not allow your wrist to
bend. This will cause the gun to arc
across the surface and distribute the
material unevenly, possibly creating
sags, drips or dry spots.
9. Begin spraying 2-3 inches before the
work. Continue the motion for a few
inches past the work until you are
ready for the return stroke.

. Maintain an even speed when spray-
ing.
11. Overlap each stroke by 50%. This will
ensure even coverage as shown in
Figure 5. Less than 50% as shown
in the figure to the right may lead to
missed spots or streaky results.

12. The spray stroke should be consistent-
ly even with parallel edges. If it doesn't
please refer to Troubleshooting on
Page 14.
13. To orient the Model H8116 spray gun
for downward or upward spraying, loos-
en the lock nut securing the cup, adjust
the gun angle, and tighten the nut.
