CAPspray‘s exclusively designed guided air cap makes it virtually impossible
for the painting contractor to misalign. This translates to better spray
pattern control.
The air cap determines the spray pattern. It is crucial the air cap remains
clean and free of dried paint.
The Sherwin-Williams CAPspray HVLP gun offers a choice of three spray
patterns: horizontal flat, vertical flat and round. To select the desired pattern,
simply rotate the two air cap ”ears” until they click into the desired position.
An up and down position gives you a horizontal pattern. When the ears are
side by side, you will get a vertical pattern. And when the ears are diagonal,
the pattern is round. Never trigger the gun while adjusting the spray pattern.
To change fan size, change the distance from the
surface to the gun nozzle. The closer you are to
the surface, the smaller the pattern becomes.
Moving back increases the fan size.
Trigger pull will also vary the fan size.
The greater the trigger pull, the greater
the material flow and fan size.
Another way to adjust fan size is to move the
air cap in (clockwise) for a larger pattern or out
(counter-clockwise) for a smaller pattern.
When getting started, the air cap should be flush
with the fluid nozzle. This will give you the full
range of pattern size control.
