In normal use, the nozzle wings are horizontal as shown here.
This provides a vertical fan-shaped pattern which gives maximum,
even, material coverage as the gun is moved back and forth parallel
to the surface being finished.
Spray pattern may be infinitely adjusted
from round to flat.
The spray pattern of the gun is variable
from round to flat with all patterns in between.
Set atomization pressure at approximately 35 PSI for lacquer and 45 PSI for enamel. Try spray.
If spray is too fine, then decrease the air pressure or open fluid control screw. If the spray is too thick,
then close the fluid control screw. Regulate the pattern width and repeat adjustment of spray as needed.
OPERATION
Proper handling of the gun is essential for obtaining a good finish. The gun should be held at right
angle to the surface being covered, moving parallel with the surface. For precise control of the gun
and material, the trigger should be released before the end of the stroke.
Hold the gun from 6 to 12 inches (15,24cm to 30,48cm) away from the surface depending on material
and atomizing pressure. For a uniform finish, lap each stroke over the preceding stroke, making sure
the spray is smooth and wet.
Using the lowest possible atomizing air pressure will reduce over-spray and provide maximum efficiency.
