Ground the gun by holding it against the edge of the
metal container while flushing. Failure to do so may
lead to a static electric discharge, which may cause a
fire.

good atomization.
NOTE: Turning the pressure up higher than needed to
atomize the paint will cause premature tip wear and
additional overspray.

Spraying Technique
The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the entire surface.
This is done by using even strokes. Keep your arm moving at a
constant speed and keep the spray gun at a constant distance from
the surface. The best spraying distance is 10 to 12 inches between
the spray tip and the surface.
Keep stroke smooth and at an even speed.
Even coat throughout
Approximately
10 to 12 inches
Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This means moving
your entire arm back and forth rather than just exing your wrist.
Heavy Coat
Do not ex wrist while spraying.
Light Coat Light Coat
Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise one end
of the pattern will be thicker than the other.
10 to 12 inches
