Adjusting the Spray Gun
a. Locate the Solution Flow Screw (#10) on the M1000 SPRAY GUN diagram.
b. Turning the Solution Flow Screw clockwise reduces and will eventually stop the flow of solution. DO NOT
over-tighten the screw as this will cause damage to the end of the needle. Once the trigger cannot be
pulled back there is no point in tightening the screw down more, this will only damage the end of the
needle.
c. Turning the Solution Flow Screw anti or counter clockwise will increase the flow of solution.
d. In general, 1 ½ - 2 full turns from the fully closed position will provide a good solution flow. You may find
that you want more or less solution. You can adjust the Solution Flow Screw to your desired setting.
NOTE: Opening the Solution Flow Screw more than 3 turns will not increase the solution flow and will in
fact decrease the efficiency of your Spray Gun
e. In general, hold the M1000 Spray Gun 6" (10cm) from the person being sprayed. Moving the Spray Gun
back will increase the size of the mist pattern. Moving the Spray Gun closer will decrease the size of the
mist pattern. The further away you hold the Spray Gun, the more you will need to increase the solution
flow thus causing abnormal amounts of airborne solution (overspray).
f.
Holding the Spray Gun closer to the person being sprayed along with a minimum flow of solution will
provide the best results, no streaks or running solution and virtually no mist in the spray area.
g. Be sure to move the Spray Gun at a slow, steady speed keeping the distance of the Spray Gun the same
throughout the application. This will ensure perfect results. It is actually very easy. Practice a few times
and you will be an expert.
h. It is best to hold the Spray Gun in a vertical position when spraying. If you want to change the direction of
the mist pattern, rotate the position of the air cap rather than turning the Spray Gun on its side.
i.
Always hold or store the Spray Gun in a vertical position. A slot in the M1000 HVLP Turbo Unit is
provided to hold and store the Spray Gun. It is a good habit to use it when you are not spraying.
j.
Do not over-tighten the solution flow screw (#10) as this will damage the end of the needle point. Tighten
the screw until the needle cannot be pulled back. Once this point is reached there is no point in turning
the solution slow screw anymore as this will only cause damage to the needle point.
