KAT9000 | Katana Plus HVLP Spray Gun
3. Setting Your Air Pressure
Next, you'll want to set the appropriate pressure.
First, turn the compressor on.
Pull the Katana Plus trigger slowly until air
begins to blow. While air is exiting the spray
gun, use the regulator on the compressor to
set your pressure (10-20 PSI). Turn clockwise
to increase and counter-clockwise to
decrease air pressure.
Depending on your spray material, 10–20 PSI is
an ideal working pressure range for your spray
gun. We recommend spray gun at 20 PSI for
soft atomization and minimal overspray.
4. Dial It In
Next, you'll notice 2 round adjusting knobs on the rear of the spray gun; the top is your pattern
adjustment knob and the next one down your fluid adjustment knob.
To start, tighten both knobs by turning clockwise until they stop. Then, loosen both by turning
counter-clockwise 4 FULL rotations. Both adjusters are now considered to be wide open.
Note: You can change fan pattern from vertical to horizontal by loosening (counter-clockwise)
the air cap ring, rotating the air cap 90° and re-tightening the air cap ring.

A. Wide Open Pattern Adjusting Knob
A
Sprays a large, 6–8 inch fan (oval) pattern ideal for covering
large areas. Tightening (clockwise) will reduce the pattern to
a round, directional pattern for smaller areas. Make minor
B
adjustments and test to find the right size.
B. Wide Open Fluid Adjusting Knob
Provides maximum amount of fluid output through the spray
gun, ideal for larger surfaces. Tightening (clockwise) will
reduce the fluid flow, spraying less material for smaller spaces.
