Delayed or inadequate cleaning will permanently clog the Spray Gun. 

Latex paint hardens quickly and permanently inside Spray Gun.

Sprayer Controls

To adjust the spray pattern

, loosen the Lock Ring (9) 

by turning it counterclockwise, then rotate the Air 

Cap (8), then retighten the Lock Ring (9). For a vertical 

spray pattern, the “ears” of the Air Cap (8) should be 

horizontal. For a horizontal pattern, the “ears” should be 

vertical. In other words, the position of the Air Cap and 

the spray pattern are at a 90° offset from one another.

To control the amount of paint mixture being sprayed

adjust the Adjusting Screw (4). Turning the Knob clockwise 

will reduce the amount of paint, turning it counterclockwise 

will increase the amount of paint available. 

CAUTION:

 Do not overtighten the Knob, as this will cut off 

the paint supply, and may damage the Fluid Tip/Needle (7).

To change the Fluid Tip and Needle (7): 

 The 

Fluid Tip and Needle (7) must both be the same 

size.  Check to make sure that they fit together 

properly before installation.  Typically, a larger Tip/

Needle would be required for thicker material.

1. 

Make certain that the unit is shut off, 

disconnected from the power supply 

and clean before proceeding.

2.  Loosen and remove the Lock Ring (9), Air 

Cap (8), and Fluid Tip (7).  Be careful not to 

allow any parts to fall out of the gun.

3.  Remove the Fluid Adjusting Screw (4), along with 

the Spring (3) and Fluid Needle (7) underneath 

it.  Insert the desired Fluid Needle (7), and reinsert 

the Spring (3) and the Fluid Adjusting Screw (4).

4.  Assemble the matching Fluid Tip (7), 

Air Cap (8), and Lock Ring (9).

5.  The sprayer controls will require readjustment 

after this procedure is complete.  See page 9.
