Spray Pattern Adjustment
Adjust Spray Shape - both nozzles
The spray pattern shape is adjusted by turning
the adjustment ring (iSpray) or air cap ears (Detail
Finish) to either the vertical, horizontal, or diagonal
positions. The positions of the air cap and the
corresponding spray pattern shapes are illustrated
below.
Test each pattern and use whichever pattern is
suitable for your application.
nEVER trigger the gun while
adjusting the ears on the air cap.
nEVER point the spray gun at any
part of the body.

IMPORTanT: When changing the spray
pattern, make sure the black retaining ring is
not loosened.
*note: The air cap can be set diagonally on the
Detail Finish nozzle only. To achieve a round

The spray width lever on the iSpray nozzle
determines the width of the spray pattern.

Tips:
1. Start with a fan pattern for painting trim work
(1-5” width) and larger surfaces like doors and
walls (>5” width).
2. Adjust Material & Air Flow settings as shown in
chart based on coating, fan pattern width, and
nozzle.
3. Fine tune the Material and Air Power settings to
achieve the best results for your application.
4. Pull trigger slightly to start the turbine before
pulling all the way to spray material.
5. Use narrow pattern for detailed work, touch up.
6. Recommended settings for Material and Air
Power may change if the coating is thinned.
