CHANGING THE SHAPE OF THE FAN
1
Loosen the Collar 10-2080. Turn the Air Cap to the horizontal position then
re-tighten the collar to lock it into place. This setting produces a vertical spray
pattern. This pattern is used more than any other by experienced spray painters.

Setting the air cap in a vertical position produces a horizontal spray pattern.
To lock it in position, tighten the collar. The horizontal fan pattern is the most
useful for painting vertically such as a doorframe.
CHANGING THE SIZE OF THE FAN
To produce a smaller fan pattern, turn the Pattern Control Knob
counter clockwise.
Because the spray pattern size is now much smaller,
you must turn down the
amount of paint
spraying through the nozzle at the Fluid Adjusting Knob 10-2093
(rear of gun). If you do
not do this, you will get runs.
To set the fluid output, simply turn the fluid adjusting knob counter-clockwise for
more ‘paint’ and clockwise for less. Once you set the fluid to your liking, you can
leave it in this position - unless of course, you change the size of the fan pattern.
For the very smallest pattern (less than 1”), you must move the gun closer to the
workpiece - but don’t forget to reduce the amount of paint at the fluid
adjusting knob.

SPRAYING TECHNIQUES
The spray gun should be held perpendicular to the surface at all times. HOLD THE
GUN NO MORE THAN 8” (20cm) AWAY FROM THE SURFACE TO BE PAINTED.
CORRECT METHOD
Start off the piece. Pull the trigger and move the spray gun in the direction you
want to spray. Continue off the edge of the piece on the other end before releasing
the trigger. Between each successive pass, overlap by about a half.
INCORRECT METHOD
CAUTION
|
Never, for any reason, point the spray gun directly at the face,
or head of a person.
