GUN SETTINGS
• Air Cap – Make sure the Air Cap is properly oriented in a horizontal plane to produce a vertical
fan spray pattern by viewing the HVLP Paint Gun from the front. To adjust, loosen Retaining Ring
by rotating counter-clockwise slightly, adjust Air Cap then re-tighten Retaining Ring (Fig A).
• Fluid Control – The Fluid Control knob (located at top rear of gun body) regulates the distance
the Needle travels and the amount of paint flowing through the gun. Note: Generally for higher
viscosity coatings, a wider opening is desired while a closer opening is better suited for lower
viscosity fluids. To adjust, rotate the Fluid Control Knob outward (counter-clockwise as viewed
from the rear) to increase flow and turn inward to reduce flow (Fig A).
• Fan Control – The Fan Control knob (located at the upper left side of the paint gun body) con-
trols the size and shape of the spray pattern of "fan". Rotating the knob counterclockwise will
produce a larger and softer spray pattern while result in a smaller, sharper pattern. For most
painting conditions, a larger, softer fan is desired (Fig A).
• Air Control – The Air Control knob (located at the bottom of the gun handle adjacent to the
air inlet) is opened by rotating in a counter-clockwise direction (as viewed form the bottom of
the gun). This is for "fine tuning" the airflow to the gun. You will generally want to set the inlet
pressure at the regulator, start with the Air Control in the full open position and decrease air as
needed (Fig A).
• When you have achieved your optimal knob settings, note their positions with the indicators on
the gun body and knobs. This will assist in quickly "tuning" the gun in future uses.
• With practice, you will quickly acquire a "feel" for the gun & will be producing professional results.
