6.4 Setting the Paint Jet
●
To set the paint jet to a wide jet or a circular section jet (see Fig. 2) first loosen the nozzle
ring (Fig. 3, item 321), then turn air distributor of the air-head (Fig. 3, item 320) to the desired
position.

The wide jet is normally used for larger surface areas, the circular section jet for edging or
spraying small and narrow areas.
●
Paint consumption very largely depends on the correct paint jet setting for the type of object
to be sprayed.
6.5 Regulation of the Paint Quantity
The paint quantity is regulated with the setting screw (Fig. 3, item 316). Tightening the setting
screw limits the movement of the trigger (Fig. 3, item 304) and thus the travel of the nozzle
needle. This setting facility should be used with very fine paint applications, for example stencil
painting, patination, matt misting etc. Tightening the setting screw limits trigger travel. If this is
the case, only pull trigger until this point is reached.
