  If your Porter-Cable Paint Sprayer is leaking material from the nozzle after you release the trigger, it could be due to several reasons: the fluid needle might be worn and needs replacement; there might be dried material in the tip of the nozzle, requiring a thorough cleaning; or the packing nut might be loose, in which case you should tighten the needle packing nut by turning it counterclockwise.

- A
  Anthony WilliamsAug 7, 2025
  If the Porter-Cable Paint Sprayer is producing an unatomized or spattered spray, consider the following possible causes and solutions: * The material may be too heavy. If so, use a thinner material or use larger orifice fluid nozzle set. * There might be insufficient air pressure, so increase the pressure to within the limit. * The fluid pressure could be too high; in that case, reduce the pressure. * There might be dried material on the tip of the fluid nozzle or air jets of the air cap. Clean it.

  Excessive fog during spraying with the Porter-Cable Paint Sprayer may occur if the air pressure is too high for the viscosity of the fluid. To resolve this, try reducing the air pressure and/or opening the fluid control knob.

Why is my Porter-Cable PSH1 split spraying pattern?
- S
  Scott VasquezAug 16, 2025
  A split spray pattern from your Porter-Cable Paint Sprayer can be caused by a couple of factors. It could be that the air pressure is too high; if so, turn the pattern control knob clockwise to decrease fan width. Alternatively, it may be due to insufficient fluid flow; in this case, turn the fluid needle adjusting nut counterclockwise to increase fluid flow.
