Fluid Control:
Set knob to OFF. Increase fluid until desired
flow is attained.
Air Control:
Start with air control at the + position. To
decrease atomization of fluid, adjust air
control toward the - position.
Pattern Size Control:
Additional control of the pattern size is
available by rotation of the air cap retaining
ring. Start with the fluid nozzle flush with the
center surface of the air cap. Pattern size can
be adjusted by rotating the retaining ring in
either direction.
Spray Techniques
Use a piece of scrap cardboard to practice
spraying techniques before spraying the
work piece.
• Always spray with the least amount of
pressure required to provide the desired
spray pattern and rate of application.
Spraying at pressures higher than
necessary wastes material and can
result in an orange peel finish.
• Aim gun straight at surface. Tilting gun to
direct spray angle causes an uneven
finish.
• Flex wrist to keep gun pointed straight.
Fanning gun to direct spray at angle
causes uneven finish.
