Setup
Proper setup is crucial for optimal performance and safety. Follow these steps to prepare your spray gun:
- Attach Air Pressure Regulator: Connect the air pressure regulator to the air inlet of the spray gun. Ensure it is securely tightened. This allows for precise control over the air pressure supplied to the gun.

- Select and Install Nozzle Set: Choose the appropriate nozzle size (1.3mm, 1.5mm, or 1.7mm) based on the viscosity of your paint material. Install the fluid nozzle, needle, and air cap securely onto the spray gun.
- Connect Paint Cup: Attach the 600cc paint cup to the top of the spray gun. Ensure it is firmly seated to prevent leaks.
- Connect Air Hose: Connect your external air compressor hose to the air hose connector on the spray gun assembly.
Operation
Operating the InoKraft D1 LVLP spray gun involves adjusting settings for optimal paint application. The gun features clearly marked scales and labels for straightforward adjustments.
Adjusting Controls

- Pattern Adjustment Knob: Located at the top rear of the gun, this knob controls the shape and width of the spray pattern (fan pattern). Turn clockwise for a narrower pattern, counter-clockwise for a wider pattern.
- Fluid Adjustment Knob: Located on the side, this knob regulates the amount of fluid (paint) released through the nozzle. Turn clockwise to decrease fluid flow, counter-clockwise to increase it.
- Air Adjustment Knob: Typically located at the bottom of the handle, this knob controls the air flow to the gun. Adjust to achieve the desired atomization and spray quality.
