● It is recommended to push the trigger forward to help release Fluid Tip (5).
● Using Needle and Fluid Tip Tool - pincher end A (1) remove Fluid Tip (5).
● Insert Needle and Fluid Tip end B (1) into the inner tube and unscrew the needle anticlockwise, then pull to release the needle.
● Insert the optional needle and screw into place.
● Insert the corresponding fluid tip and push into place.
● Reassemble all other parts in reverse order.
● Ensure Air Cap Ring (2) is fully tightened and Fluid Tip (5) is pushed into place so that the spray gun Needle (7) will shut off. Make sure the
Spray Direction Plate (4) is free to move. If necessary loosen Air Cap Ring (2) slightly.
