washed). The filter can be found in the base of the motor unit.
HINT: Before removing or re-inserting the needle and fluid tip ensure the spray gun has been flushed through with water or the appropriate thinner
so the inner tube is clean.

prevent the paint from drying.

FLUID TIPS AND NEEDLES
The fluid tip and needle that is supplied with your spray gun is ideal for most applications, however if you want to use you Spray Station to achieve
a finer finish when spraying a material such as polyurethane, varnish or lacquer we recommend you invest in a fine finish tip and needle see chart
