removinG/rePlacinG The needle and handle
(illustration a):
1. Unscrew the handle and loosen the locknut by turning counterclockwise.
Depress the trigger and hold in DOWN position while removing or
inserting the needle. This assures the needle will move freely through the
trigger. Gently remove the needle , rotating if necessary. Do NOT
force out. Do NOT bend.
2. Inspect the condition of the needle. If it is bent or misshapen in any way,
replace it with a new needle. A bent needle can damage or split the tip,
causing bubbles or a rough spray pattern. The sharp end of the needle
bends easily.
3. Hold trigger in DOWN position, insert the new needle into the rocker assembly
. Gently push needle through, rotating if necessary, push gently forward
until the needle stops in the front of the tip.
4. Release trigger and tighten locknut by turning clockwise.
