Technical description

When the trigger is operated, the preliminary air is opened first and then the
material needle (item 9) pulled back. Thus the spray material passes through the
nozzle. Closing takes place in reverse order. The material flow volume depends on
the nozzle diameter and the setting of the material pressure on the pressure tank
or the material pressure regulator. In addition, the material volume can be regulated
by turning the adjusting screw in or out. Refer to 6 Changing the spray pattern for
additional adjustment options.
