The fan adjustment dial is used to control the width of your fan by adjusting the amount of air distributed to the various air passages in the air cap.
As the dial is turned to the right (tightening the dial) the
fan gets smaller, circular, and more condensed.
- Working with a smaller fan can allow for more precision, although if the fan size is too small, it can result in an overabundance of material condensed in one spot which can lead to streaks and runs.
- Working with a wider fan allows for broader and more even coverage, but if the fan size is too wide, the efficiency transfer is lower, thus wasting material, and the product may dry too fast causing inconsistencies in the finish.
Lastly, all air spray guns can produce
horizontal and vertical spray patterns by adjusting the air cap.
When air cap horns are in a
vertical position, a horizontal spray pattern is produced.
When air cap horns are in a horizontal position, a vertical pattern is produced.
Happy Spraying!
