  An improper spray pattern with your Kobalt Paint Sprayer can stem from several issues. It could be due to the gun being improperly adjusted, so carefully re-adjust it following the instructions. A dirty air cap can also cause this, so ensure you clean it thoroughly. Another potential cause is an obstructed fluid tip, which would also require cleaning. Lastly, a sluggish needle might be the culprit, in which case you should lubricate it.

  If your Kobalt Paint Sprayer isn't spraying, several factors could be at play. First, check that there is air pressure at the gun and that the air lines are in working order. If you're using an internal mix cap and pressure tank, the fluid pressure might be too low, so increase the fluid pressure at the tank. Also, ensure the fluid control screw is open enough. If the fluid is too heavy for suction feed, thin the material or switch to a pressure feed system.

  Dripping from the fluid tip of your Kobalt Paint Sprayer can occur for a few reasons. Dry packing could be the cause, so try lubricating it. A sluggish needle can also lead to dripping, so lubricating it is recommended. Check if the packing nut is too tight and adjust it accordingly. Lastly, a worn fluid nozzle or needle may be the issue; if you're using pressure feed, replace them with new ones.

Why does my Kobalt SGY-AIR88TZ Paint Sprayer have intermittent spray?

  An intermittent spray from your Kobalt Paint Sprayer may be due to a few reasons: 1. The packing around the needle valve might be dried out. To fix this, back up the knurled nut, put a few drops of machine oil on the packing, and then retighten the nut. 2. The fluid nozzle may be loosely installed, or there may be dirt between the nozzle and body. Remove the fluid nozzle, clean the rear of the nozzle and its seat in the gun body, then replace the nozzle ensuring it's tight to the body. 3. The needle sealing could be damaged, requiring a seal replacement.

  If you notice fluid leaking from the packing nut of your Kobalt Paint Sprayer, it could be due to a loose packing nut. Tighten it, but be careful not to overtighten to the point where it grips the needle. Alternatively, the packing might be worn or dry, in which case you should replace or lubricate it.

  If the atomization air pressure is set too high, or if you're attempting to spray a thin material in too wide a pattern with your Kobalt Paint Sprayer, there are a couple of adjustments you can make. First, reduce the air pressure.
