SPRAY GUN ADJUSTMENTS

Pattern Control Adjuster
The Pattern Control Adjuster on the Pro-8 spray gun is conveniently placed at the rear of the gun to 

allow you to easily change the spray pattern without needing to adjust the air cap. The pattern control 

can be set to either a round pattern for intricate detail work or to an elliptical fan shape which widens as 

you adjust the pattern adjuster, ideal for different size surfaces.

Fluid Control Adjuster
The fluid adjuster is designed with a control dial to provide complete control over the volume of coating 

sprayed. Whether working on a small or large surface area, this feature allows you to adjust the volume 

of spray to suit the size of the job.
