Does it come with everything needed to start painting?

What is the spraying distance recommended?

Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern
Check for clogged nozzle or air cap. Ensure correct air pressure is set. Verify adequate paint flow by adjusting the fluid control knob.
Paint splattering or "orange peel" effect
Reduce paint viscosity by thinning. Increase air pressure slightly. Decrease spraying distance or increase fan width.
Gun not spraying paint
Ensure the fluid needle is not obstructed. Check that the cup is properly seated and the pickup tube is submerged. Verify the fluid control knob is open.
Leaking air or paint
Check all connections for tightness. Inspect seals and O-rings for damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the cup is sealed properly.
