Depending on the alignment of the nozzle and the air cap, you’ll have three different spray patterns to choose from. This allows you to choose what is best for the job.

The horizontal air cap allows you to spray in a high and oval pattern. The vertical air cap allows for a broad and oval pattern. Using a diagonal air cap position is going to offer a symmetrical circular spray pattern.

You will also be able to adjust the material flow by turning the regulator that is located on the trigger of the spray gun. The unit also comes with 2 air filters to help reduce dust.

These are easy to remove, simply press the tabs on each side of the turbine. Remove and replace with new ones. This is an important step to do every so often to ensure the best paint job possible.

The process of cleaning up after your paint job is painless and simple. You will want to unplug the machine and rinse the cup out.

Then use some warm, soapy water if you’ve painted with latex materials and mineral spirits if you’ve used oil-based materials. Run the solution through the sprayer for several seconds into a bucket.

You’ll also want to be sure that several parts of the spray gun also get a thorough cleaning. Gently wash the container seal, suction tube, air cap, and nozzle.
