Sprayer Controls; Basic Function Instructions - Chicago Electric 44677 Owner's Manual & Safety Instructions

Delayed or inadequate cleaning will permanently clog the Spray Gun.

Sprayer Controls

To adjust the spray pattern, loosen the Lock Ring (9)
by turning it counterclockwise, then rotate the Air
Cap (8), then retighten the Lock Ring (9). For a vertical
spray pattern, the "ears" of the Air Cap (8) should be
horizontal. For a horizontal pattern, the "ears" should be
vertical. In other words, the position of the Air Cap and
the spray pattern are at a 90° offset from one another.
To control the amount of paint mixture being sprayed,
adjust the Adjusting Screw (4). Turning the Knob clockwise
will reduce the amount of paint, turning it counterclockwise
will increase the amount of paint available.
CAUTION: Do not overtighten the Knob, as this will cut off
the paint supply, and may damage the Fluid Tip/Needle (7).
To change the Fluid Tip and Needle (7): The
Fluid Tip and Needle (7) must both be the same
size. Check to make sure that they fit together
properly before installation. Typically, a larger Tip/
Needle would be required for thicker material.
