Test the paint viscosity by dipping 4.
a stick into the paint, then observ-
ing the rate paint drips from the end.
Properly thinned paint will drip about
1 per second.
Follow paint manufacturer’s recom-
5.
mendations. Experiment with scrap
material to determine the correct
paint viscosity.
Always strain the paint when pouring
6.
it into the Cup (28). This will prevent
lumps or impurities from clogging the
Fluid Nozzle (2).

SuLtinG in injury:
do not exceed the tool’s maximum
air pressure rating.
Air pressure can be fine adjusted us-

With the Trigger squeezed, turn the
Fluid Control Knob (12) counterclock-
wise to increase paint flow.
When the paint pattern is smooth,
3.
lock the setting by turning the Lock-
nut (11) clockwise.

Fan direction and Pattern
The fan shaped spray direction of the 1.
paint can be adjusted by turning the
Air Cap (1). Loosen the lock ring, turn
the Air Cap as needed then retighten
the lock ring.
When spraying in a horizontal motion, 2.
have the Air Cap (1) turned horizontally
to have a vertical fan. When spraying
up and down, have the Air Cap turned
vertically to have a horizontal fan.
The spray pattern can be adjusted
3.
by turning the Spray Regulator (20).
Turning the knob counterclockwise
will open and flatten the pattern.
Turning it clockwise will close the pat-
