circuit, earthing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a

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.
