Adjust Pressure Control

The pressure control knob allows for infinite pressure adjustment. To reduce overspray, always start at the 

lowest pressure setting and increase pressure to the minimum setting that results in an acceptable spray 

pattern.

To select pressure, align symbol on pressure control knob with setting indicator on sprayer

.

Tip and Pressure Selection

See table for recommended spray pressure for your material. Refer to paint (material) can for 

manufacturer’s recommendations.
