POWER AND MATERIAL CONTROLS
XBOOST™ POWER DIAL
The X-Boost™ power dial adjusts the level of air pressure produced by the turbine. The
X-Boost™ power dial is factory-set at maximum out of the box.
• A high air power level will result in faster coverage and a smoother nish with
thicker materials.
• Lowering the air power will result in larger drops of material being sprayed from
the gun, and will create a slightly rougher nish.
Tip: The thicker the material you are spraying, the higher the turbine power you will
need.
Tip: For ne-nish work with thinner materials, you may want to decrease the air power .
Spraying a thinner material at high air power will result in more overspray. Overspray is
sprayed material that does not stick to the spray surface and bounces back.
MATERIAL FLOW CONTROL
The material ow control determines the amount of spray material that is sprayed
from the spray gun.
iSpray Nozzle - The material ow can be adjusted incrementally from 1 (minimum) to
12 (maximum) by turning the adjustable material ow control
Detail Finish Nozzle - Set the material ow by turning the knob on the trigger of the
spray gun.
• For thicker materials, it is recommended that you start with the highest material ow setting and then gradually decrease the
ow to suit your particular spraying needs.
• For thinner materials, it is recommended that you start with a low material ow setting, and then gradually increase the ow
to suit your particular spraying needs.
• The higher the ow setting, the quicker you will have to work in order to avoid drips and sags in your spray pattern.
Tip: Spraying with the control set too high will result in a spray pattern that runs and sags (too much material).
Tip: Spraying with the control set too low will result in a spray pattern that does not cover (not enough material).
i
Spray performance will depend upon a number of factors: material thickness, air power, spray pattern
selected, and material ow setting. Testing dierent variations of the control settings will help you achieve
the desired results. See descriptions and suggested Power and Material Settings Guide below to help with
your project.
