8. Operating Instructions
8.5 The Trigger
Paint is released from the spray gun by squeezing the
trigger (12) (Fig. 14):
1. First, squeeze the trigger until resistance is met; this
opens the air valve.
2. Squeeze the trigger the rest of the way to draw the
uid pin back and release paint from the nozzle.
Important: Draper Tools recommends that you test the
spray output on an area of scrap material before working
on the actual surface. Adjust the control dials to produce
an even ow in the desired pattern. ALWAYS release the
trigger before making any adjustment to the spray gun.
8.6 Notes on Use
• Keep the spray gun 6–8" away from the surface during
operation.
• Start moving the spray gun BEFORE squeezing the
trigger to prevent a build-up of paint at the starting
point.
• Move the spray gun with a smooth motion, keeping it
perpendicular to and at a constant distance from the
surface at all times (Fig. 15).
• DO NOT rock or pivot the spray gun as this will deliver
uneven coverage of the surface.
• DO NOT hold the spray gun in a static position while
the trigger is depressed as this will deliver uneven
coverage.
• Slightly overlap the movements of the spray gun to
ensure an even distribution at the edges of each
stroke.
• Use a piece of scrap material at the edges of the area
to prevent overspray and protect other surfaces.
• Alter the speed of the movement, the distance from
the surface and the uid control dial setting to adjust
the thickness of the paint applied to the surface.
• Release the trigger BEFORE completing the spray gun
movement at the end of the nal stroke to prevent a
build-up of paint at the nishing point.
