Final adjustments are made on the gun. Set nozzle
for the spray desired. Volume of material is regulated by
the fluid control nut at the back of the gun. Trigger
tension is controlled by the hex-nut as shown.
For best results, hold gun six to eight inches from the
object to be sprayed, at right angles to its surface. Point
directly at the work and carry along at a steady speed.
A slight pull of the trigger emits air only, which may be
used for dusting. Pull trigger all the way back for
painting.
A little experimenting will determine correct pressure
for the job.
Select the proper nozzle and fluid tip for each job to
insure best results.
For general' use, a cone-fan
adjustable nozzle is recommended. When spraying
quick drying materials and low boiling lacquers, the No.
4 nozzle and tip for external atomization will be most
suitable. There is a nozzle and tip combination for every
