Operating Instructions

1. Prime System: Follow your airless sprayer's instructions to prime the system with your chosen material.
2. Adjust Pressure: Start with a lower pressure setting and gradually increase it until you achieve a consistent, even spray pattern without tails (uneven edges). The Fine Finish Nozzle is designed for optimal atomization at low pressure.
3. Test Spray: Always test spray on a piece of scrap material to verify the spray pattern and adjust pressure as needed.
4. Spraying Technique:
   • Maintain a consistent distance (typically 10-12 inches) from the surface.
   • Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, moving your entire arm, not just your wrist.
   • Overlap each pass by approximately 50% to ensure even coverage.
   • Release the trigger at the end of each pass to prevent excessive build-up.
