• Clean the head and nozzle.
• Make sure that the centering between
the two is precise.
• Check the tip of the pin is not ruined.
• Replace the nozzle and the head.
The center of the pattern is too narrow
• Atomization of air pressure is too high
• Material too thin
• Reduce the quantity of air and increase
the flow of paint.
Poor atomization / Spray concentrated
into the centre
• The flow of paint is greater than the
pressure and quality of air supplied.
