ADJUST SPRAY PATTERN
1. Rotate air cap to change spray pattern di-
rection.
2. For maximum fluid flow and to prevent
premature fluid nozzle wear, turn fluid adjust-
ment knob left until no trigger restriction is
felt; trigger should be able to touch gun han-
dle. Then turn knob out 1/2 turn more.
3. If further fluid flow restriction is needed, use
different size needle/nozzle/air cap combina-
tion.
If necessary, fluid adjustment knob can be
turned right to reduce volume of fluid output.
However, continuously spraying with fluid ad-
justment knob closed causes accelerated abra-
sive wear on fluid needle and trigger/air valve
shaft interface.
4. Test spray pattern and atomization while
holding gun about 6-8 inches (150-200 mm)
from test piece.
a. If pattern is too wide, turn pattern adjust-
ment knob right to narrow pattern.
b. To create a round pattern, turn pattern ad-
justment knob fully right.
c. If pattern is too narrow, turn knob left.
d. Check atomization. Increase gun air supply
pressure in 5 psi (34 kPa, 0.3 bar) increments
until you have the desired atomization.
WARNING: Do not exceed maximum work-
ing air pressure shown on front cover.
APPLYING PAINT
For the best results:
• Keep gun perpendicular to surface and con-
sistent distance of about 6-8 inches (150-200
mm). Do not angle the gun as you spray.
• Use smooth, even strokes, with about 50%
overlap.
• HVLP Guns: Use a slightly slower hand move-
ment and make fewer passes than you would
with a conventional air spray gun. Take care to
avoid runs or sags.
MAINTENANCE
DAILY CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
1. Follow Pressure Relief Procedure.
2. Clean fluid and air line filters.
3. Check for fluid leakage from gun and fluid
hoses. Tighten fittings or replace equipment as
needed.
4. Flush gun before changing colors and when
you are done spraying.

5. Remove cup and filter and clean them.
6. Remove air cap and nozzle and soak them in
compatible solvent.
7. Use a rag moistened in solvent to wipe down
outside of gun.
8. Before reinstalling air cap and nozzle, clean
them and front of gun with a soft-bristle brush
dipped into compatible solvent. Do not use a
wire brush or metal tools. To clean out air cap
holes, use a soft implement, such as a tooth-
pick.
If fluid adjustment knob is turned in all the
way, the gun emits only air.
WARNING: Follow Pressure Relief Proce-
dure when you stop spraying and before clean-
ing, checking, or servicing equipment.
CAUTION: Do not submerge gun in solvent.
Solvent dissolves lubricant, dries out packings,
and may clog air passages. You can immerse
front end of gun in solvent just until cup con-
nection is covered.
• Do not use metal tools to clean air cap holes
as this may scratch them and distort the spray
pattern.
• Use a compatible solvent.
• Trigger gun and use gun tool whenever you
tighten or remove nozzle to avoid damaging
needle seat and nozzle, to avoid damaging
needle seat and nozzle.
