If the fluid adjustment knob is turned clockwise
all the way, the gun will emit only air.

If you cannot achieve the correct fluid flow with
the fluid adjustment knob, a different sized noz-
zle may be necessary. For smaller fluid flow,
use the next size smaller nozzle. For a larger
fluid flow, use the next size larger nozzle.
