How to Spray
333394H 11
How to Spray
Take a few moments prior to spraying and
review these simple tips to ensure your
spraying project is a success.
Dual Speed Control
(Not available on all units)
The dual speed control feature allows you to
slow down or speed up when spraying.
•Turn the dual speed control to LOW to
slow down the speed of application when
first learning to spray or when spraying
small items that require more control.
•The LOW setting delivers more control
and will reduce overspray when spraying
thinner materials such as stain.
•Turn the dual speed control to HIGH
when you want to get to job done fast and
when spraying large surfaces.
•To reduce overspray, always spray at
lowest speed that results in an
acceptable spray pattern.
Variable Speed Control
(Not available on all units)
The variable speed control feature allows you
infinite speed control to slow down or speed
up to best suit your material and project.
•Turn the variable speed control to lower
speed settings to slow down the speed of
application when first learning to spray or
when spraying small items that require
more control.
•The lower speed settings deliver more
control and will reduce overspray when
spraying thinner materials such as stain.
•Turn the variable speed control to higher
speed settings when you want to get the
job done fast and when spraying large
surfaces.
•To reduce overspray, always start at
lowest speed setting and increase speed
to the minimum setting that results in an
acceptable spray pattern.
Spray 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 the
sprayer to direct the 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
Troubleshooting, page 26.

Spray Pattern Quality
A good spray pattern is evenly distributed as
it hits the surface. If tails persist, material may
need to be thinned.
If material needs to be thinned follow
manufacturers recommendations.
If you see pulsations in the pattern, try the
following:
•On the dual speed models turn the dual
speed control to HIGH
•On the variable speed models turn the
variable speed control to higher setting
•Slow down your speed of movement
•Hold sprayer farther away from surface
•Switch to black (12") spray tip

Installing Spray Tips
Two spray tips are available for use with this
sprayer. The black tip produces a 12-inch
wide spray pattern. The gray tip produces a
4-inch wide spray pattern.
Either spray tip may be used to spray mate-
rials that are recommended to be sprayed
with a 0.015 tip size. See material container
for spray tip size recommendations.
Remove Spray Tip
1. Perform Pressure Relief Procedure,
page 14.
2. Rotate the spray tip 90 degrees from
either the SPRAY or UNCLOG position.
3. Pull the spray tip straight out of the spray
tip guard.
Install Spray Tip
1. While holding the spray tip 90 degrees
from either the SPRAY or UNCLOG
position, align spray tip locking tab with
the locking tab slot in the spray tip guard.
2. Push the spray tip all the way into the
spray tip guard.
3. Rotate the spray tip to the SPRAY
position.
NOTE: Make certain spray tip locking tab is
pushed all the way into the slot in the spray tip
guard. You should not be able to remove the
spray tip from the spray tip guard when it is in
the Spray or Unclog positions.
NOTE: If the locking tab slot in the spray tip
guard is blocked, preventing installation of
the spray tip, rotate the spray tip guard until it
is visually aligned with the internal hole, then
install the spray tip.
