EXTENSION CORD
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-A after the cord type designation. For example, a designation of SJTW-A would indicate that the cord would be appropriate for outdoor use.

For proper size cords see chart guide for extension cord usage.

Warning! Some spray materials contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. To reduce your exposure wear appropriate safety equipment such as face masks, gloves, and other appropriate protective equipment. Please review and follow the safety precautions on the paint container.

PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

SET – UP
Warning! Be sure to use appropriate protective gear and unplug unit.
Warning! Make sure area is well ventilated and free of flammable vapors.
Never point the spray gun at any part of the body.

1. Find and aim at the “lock” position on the main housing assembly, and insert the spray gun into the main housing assembly into place. Then turn to the end as clockwise direction
2. Turn the buckle on main housing to lock the gun set into place.

Aligning the pickup tube (Suction tube)
Note: By pointing the pickup tube in the proper direction, you will not have to refill the canister as often.

If you are going to be spraying in a downward direction, the angled end of the pickup tube should be pointing toward the front of gun

If you are going to be spraying in an upward direction. The angled end of the pickup tube should be pointing toward the rear of the gun.

MATERIAL PREPARATION
Liquid material preparation Tip:
Make sure the type of material you use can be cleaned with either mineral spirits or paint thinner (for oil-based paints) or a warm water and soap solution (for water soluble paints like latex). Use drop cloths during pouring, mixing, and viscosity testing of materials to be sprayed to protect your floors and anything else in the spraying area that you wish to remain untouched.

The liquid being sprayed may need to be thinned (diluted) before starting. When thinning, use the proper liquid thinner recommended on the container by the material Manufacturer.
Warning! Do not use materials with a flashpoint below than 21°C (70°F).

A viscosity test cup is provided to determine the “runout time” of the material being used.

1. Before measuring for the proper viscosity, stir the material thoroughly.

2. Dip the viscosity cup into the material being sprayed and fill the cup completely.

3. With the cup held over the material container, measure the amount of time it takes for the stream of material flowing out to “break” or stop being a constant stream out of the bottom of the cup (100 seconds or less).

This is the “runout time”. Refer to the thinning table below for information on the thinning required for different materials. If material needs thinning, add the appropriate liquid thinning material recommended by the manufacturer.

Thinning table

Note: It is possible to spray latex paint with this unit, however, the required thinning may exceed material manufacturer’s recommendation. Thin latex paint so that it runs through viscosity cup within100 seconds. The operator should consider the type of application and final location of the project when spraying a material that requires more than 100 seconds to run through the viscosity cup.

OPERATION INSTRUCTION

Preparation tips

• Always stir and strain the material thoroughly before use. If need, please use the included paper filter to filter out the impurities.
• With any spraying job you should always ensure that you have properly prepared the surface to get the best finish. That is, all surface are free from dust, dirt, rust and grease. Lightly pressure wash decks or exterior surfaces and ensure that they are dry before spraying.
• Even though HVLP sprayers have very little overspray, it is recommended that you mask all edges and other areas and use drop cloths to protect your floors and anything else in the spraying area that you wish to remain untouched.
• Skin that forms on the top of paint can clog the sprayer. Remove skin before mixing. Strain with a funnel with a filter attached or through hosiery to remove any impurities that could clog system.
• Before starting have gloves, paper towels, rags etc. available for unexpected spills.

Filing the Canister

1. Unscrew the Canister. Stand the canister on asmooth and horizontal surface.
2. Pour the properly thinned and strained material to be sprayed into the canister.
3. Clean any residual liquid from the threads or sides of the canister and sprayer.
4. Starting the threads evenly, screw the lid,completely onto the top fill canister. Check the lid to make sure it is threaded on squarely and completely before picking up the sprayer.

Adjust Spray Pattern
The spray pattern shape is adjusted by turning the ears of the air cap to either the vertical, horizontal, or diagonal position. The position of the air cap and the corresponding spray patternshape are shown below.

Material Flow Adjustment
Set the material volume by turning the regulator on the trigger of the spray gun.
Turn to “+” mark direction increase the flow of liquid and turn to “-“ direction decrease the flow of liquid.

For thicker materials, it is recommended that you start with the highest material flow setting and then gradually decrease the flow to suit your particular spraying needs.
For thinner materials, it is recommended that you start with a low material flow setting and then gradually increase the flow to suit your particular spraying needs.
Always test the spray pattern on scrap cardboard or similar material first, Begin with flow control knob on highest flow setting. If less flow is desired, dial the flow control knob to decrease the flow of liquid.
Heavier, thicker material should be sprayed with the flow control knob on high flow setting.
Thinner material should be sprayed with the flow control knob on low flow setting.

Proper Spraying Technique
If spraying with an HVLP spray system is new or unfamiliar to you. It is advisable to practice on a piece of scrap wood or cardboard before beginning on your intended workpiece.
Surface Preparation
All objects to be sprayed should be thoroughly cleaned before spraying material on them. Areas not to be sprayed may, in certain cases, need to be masked or covered.
Spray Area Preparation
The spray area must be clean and free of dust in order to avoid blowing dust onto your freshly sprayed surface.
Nozzle size pickup
Select right size of nozzle base upon the material you are going to use and the surface targeting finishing. The small size of nozzle reflected to finer coating. Dilute material if needed for better quality of the coating

shutter, cabinets, wooden toy, model
2.0mm (Red)| polyurethane, chalk and milk type paint| Railings, multi-frame window frames, heating pipes, boats, yard furniture, garage doors, metal garden fences.
2.5mm (Black)| low viscosity primer, wall paint| Internal wall, wooden garden fence, wooden pile, corridor
3.0mm (Grey)| Latex plus primers, primer, wall paint, latex, oil enamels| External walls, outdoor floors, deck

Never trying spray material which viscosity higherthan the spray gun can withstand, NSG0110 viscosity spec at MAX 100-DINs

HOW TO SPRAY PROPERLY

• Position the spray gun perpendicular to and 2 or more inches from the spray surface, depending on the spray pattern size desired

• Spray parallel to the surface with smooth passes at a consistent speed as shown below. Doing this will avoid irregularities in the finish. (.i.e runs and sags)

• Always apply a thin coat of material on the first pass and allow to dry before applying a second, slightly heavier coat.

• Keep stroke smooth and at an even speed

• Always spray area from a minimum of 50mm (2 inches) to a maximum of 300mm (12 inches). To get an even spray distribution. Always keep your arm at the same distance from the surface you are spraying and avoid flex wrist while spraying

• When spraying, always trigger the spray gun after spray pass has begun and release trigger before stopping the pass. Always keep the gun pointed squarely at the spray surface and overlap passes slightly to obtain the most consistent and professional finish possible.

• When you quit spraying for any length of time, turn the power unit OFF and place the spray gun into the built-in dock on the power unit.

• A commonly used method for spraying a large surface is the “crisscross” pattern. This is done by spraying in horizontal strips and then crossing over these strips with vertical strips.

• Avoid spraying too heavily in any one area. Several lighter coats are better than one heavy coat which can lead to running and dripping. Remember that the flow control knob regulates the amount of liquid that can be sprayed. If runs or drips do occur, have
  a dry paint brush on hand to smooth them out.

CLEAN AND MAINTENANCE

Before you begin:
When cleaning, use the appropriate cleaning solution (warm, soapy water for water-based material like latex; mineral sprits for oil-based material)

Special cleanup instruction for use with flammable solvents (must have a flashpoint above 70°F (21°C)

• Always flush spray gun outside
• Area must be free of flammable vapors
• Cleaning area must be well-ventilated
• Do not submerge power unit

1. Unplug tool. Trigger the spray gun so that the material inside the spray gun flows back into the canister

2. Unscrew the canister. Empty any remaining material back into the material container.

3. Pour a small amount of the appropriate cleaning solution into the canister. Clean canister and pickup tube and properly dispose of cleaning solution. Refill the canister with NEW cleaning solution.

4. Attach the canister to the gun, plug in the cord.

5. Spray the solution through the gun for 2 or 3 seconds in a safe area. Unplug tool and trigger the spray gun so that the material inside the spray gun flows back to canister. Wipe the exterior of the cup and gun until clean.

6. Unscrew nut, air cap, nozzle, pickup tube. (If there is any paint within the see-through check valve tube, teardown the check valve for cleaning.)

7. Clean the canister, pickup tube, air cap, nut and nozzle with a cleaning brush and appropriate cleaning solution.
