Adjust the position of the air cap on the nozzle to change the spray pattern to your desired position

When spraying large surfaces, overlap each pass by at least 50%.

Spray with smooth passes at a consistent speed. Do not flex wrist when spraying

Here are some ways to troubleshoot any issues with your spray pattern if they come up

SPRAY PATTERN	SOLUTIONS
Clumpy Finish	Too little air and too much material. Turn up the air flow and turn down the material flow.	If adjusting the settings does not work, try adding Wagner Paint Easy to latex paint to condition it for a smoother spray pattern.	NOTE: The iSpray nozzle produces a roller-like finish. For a fine finish on small projects like furniture, use the Detail Finish nozzle.
Runs & Sags	Too much air and too much material. Turn down the air flow and the material flow.	Spray gun is too close to the surface. Take a step back and hold it 6-8″ away.	Moving too slow. Move faster while remaining steady.
Poor Coverage	Too little air and too little material. Turn up the air flow and turn up the material flow.	Spray gun is too far from the surface. Take a step closer and hold it 6-8″ away.	Moving too fast. Move slower while remaining steady.	If adjusting the settings does not work, try adding Wagner Paint Easy to latex paint to condition it.
Good Spray Pattern	Settings are adjusted properly, sprayer is 6-8″ away from the surface and is moving at a steady speed.

There are a few extra pieces included with your main sprayer components. Here is a quick explanation of how to use them.
