Prevent Excessive Tip Wear
Spray should be atomized (evenly distributed,
no gaps at edges). Start at low pressure
setting, and increase pressure a little
at a time until paint is atomized.
To prevent excessive tip wear,
spray at lowest pressure
that atomizes paint.
If maximum pressure of
sprayer is not enough for
good spray pattern, tip is too
large or too worn. See
Reversible Tip Selection

Instructions.
