pattern shape, turn the air cap ring.

Turning the ring clockwise will make the pattern bigger. Turning
the ring counterclockwise will make the pattern smaller. As you
reduce the spray pattern size, you will need to move closer to the
surface.
adjusting the Material and air Flow
Each individual job and material may require slight adjustments
in the material flow and air flow.
Turn the material flow adjustment knob clockwise for less fluid
and counterclockwise for more fluid.

Spraying
Hold the spray gun between 1 and 8 inches from the spraying
surface, depending on the size of the spray pattern that you
need. The closer to the surface you hold the gun, the smaller the
spray pattern.
Keep the gun at right angles to the spraying surface in order to
apply an even coat of material. If you keep the spray gun moving
at a smooth and constant speed, the spray material is less likely
to run or sag.

Always squeeze the trigger of the spray gun after you begin
your spray pass and release it before the pass is done. For best
results, make the spray passes about 20 inches long and overlap
each pass by 4 or 5 inches. Remember to keep the gun at right
angles to the spraying surface.

adjusting the Swivel Tube
The adjustable swivel tube on your spray gun lets you get the
most out of the material in your cup no matter at what angle you
need to spray.
If you are holding your spray gun angled down, turn the swivel
tube lever fully clockwise.
NOTE: an arrow on each side of the bridge indicates the
direction that the swivel tube is pointing when
the swivel tube lever is in its fully clockwise or
fully counterclockwise position.

If you are holding the spray gun angled up, turn the swivel tube
