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 3)
.
•
Fluid Control –
The Fluid Control knob (located at mid-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 3)
.
•
Fan Control –
The Fan Control knob (located at the upper-rear of the paint gun body) controls
the size and shape of the spray pattern of “fan”. Rotating the knob counter-clockwise (as
viewed from the rear of the gun) will produce a larger and softer spray pattern while rotating it
clockwise will result in a smaller, sharper, round pattern. For most painting conditions, a larger,
softer fan is desired
