Power And Material Controls - WAGNER FLEXiO 590 Owner's Manual

Power and Material Controls

Spray performance will depend upon a number of
factors: material thickness, air power, spray pattern
selected, 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.
• 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.
2-Speed air Power Control
The FLEXiO model 570 is
equipped with a 2-speed air
power control (high / low).
Variable air Power Control
The FLEXiO model 590 is
equipped with a variable air
power control (1-9).

Material Flow Control
The material flow control determines the amount of
spray material that is sprayed from the spray gun.

Set the material flow by turning the red knob on the

Tip: Spraying with the control set too low will result
in a spray pattern that does not cover (not enough
material).
Tip: To ensure desired results are achieved with the
controls, test your spray pattern on the spray poster
(590 only) or a scrap piece of wood or cardboard.
