Power And Material Controls - WAGNER Flexio 2000 Owner's Manual

PoweR AND MATeRiAl CoNTRolS

Spray performance will depend upon a number of factors: material thickness, air power, spray pattern selected,
i
and material flow. testing different variations of the control settings will help you achieve the desired results. See
descriptions and suggested power and material Settings guide below to help with your project.
x-BooST™ PoweR DiAl
the X-boost™ power dial adjusts the level of air pressure produced by the turbine. the
X-boost™ power dial is factory-set at maximum out of the box.
2-Speed air Power control - the FleXio model 2000 is equipped with a 2-speed air
power control (high / low).
Variable air Power control - the FleXio model 3000 is equipped with a variable air
power control (1-9).
•
A high air power level will result in faster coverage and a smoother finish with
thicker materials.
•
lowering the air power will result in larger drops of material being sprayed from the gun, and will create a slightly rougher
finish.
Tip: the thicker the material you are spraying, the higher the turbine power you will need.
Tip: For fine-finish work with thinner materials, you may want to decrease the air power. Spraying a thinner material at high air
power will result in more overspray. overspray is sprayed material that does not stick to the spray surface and bounces back.
MATeRiAl flow CoNTRol
the material flow control determines the amount of spray material that is sprayed
from the spray gun.
iSpray nozzle - the material flow can be adjusted incrementally from 1 (minimum) to
12 (maximum) by turning the adjustable material flow control
Detail Finish nozzle (3000 only) - Set the material flow by turning the red knob on
the trigger of the spray gun.
•
For thicker materials, it is recommended that you start with the highest material
flow setting and then gradually decrease the flow to suit your particular spraying needs.
•
For thinner materials, it is recommended that you start with a low material flow setting, and then gradually increase the flow
to suit your particular spraying needs.
•
the higher the flow setting, the quicker you will have to work in order to avoid drips and sags in your spray pattern.
Tip: Spraying with the control set too high will result in a spray pattern that runs and sags (too much material).
Tip: Spraying with the control set too low will result in a spray pattern that does not cover (not enough material).
