GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING – Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having a green outer surface with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire and must be connected to the grounding pin.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.

IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. 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. A 14 gauge or 12 gauge cord is recommended. 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.

MATERIAL PREPARATION

Material to be sprayed may need to be strained to remove any impurities in the paint which may enter and clog the system. Impurities in the paint will give poor performance and a poor finish.

Only thin the material if absolutely necessary to improve spray performance. Optimal spray performance should be acheived simply by adjusting the various controls on the unit.

TO PREPARE THE MATERIAL

1. Stir the spraying material thoroughly.
   

2. Unscrew the cup from the nozzle.
   

3. After the material has been properly thinned* and strained, fill the container to desired level.
   

*THINNING THE MATERIAL

For certain spraying situations or desired finishes, thinning the material may be desired. Make sure you adjust the material flow settings for your specific material needs.

If thinning is necessary, use the proper solvent as specified by the material manufacturer. Never exceed the thinning advice given by the coating manufacturer.

Do not thin with materials that have a flashpoint below 100°F (38°C).

NEVER point the spray gun at any part of the body.

ASSEMBLY

Attention
Make sure the power cord is unplugged.

1. Insert the suction tube into the intake opening.
   

2. Align the pickup tube:
   
   A If spraying downward, the angled end of the pickup tube should be pointing toward the front of the nozzle.
   B If spraying upward, the angled end of the pickup tube should be pointing toward the rear of the nozzle.
   Make sure the pickup tube is inserted as far as it will go to ensure a tight fit.
   Attention
   Never tip the sprayer at more than a 45° angle. Material could get into the turbine and damage the sprayer.

3. Carefully screw the cup back onto the nozzle assembly. Tighten firmly.
   

4. Align the arrow on the nozzle with the “unlock” symbol on the turbine.
   

5. Insert and twist the nozzle into the turbine toward the “lock” symbol on the turbine. The tab below the trigger will lock the two pieces into place.
   

EVER trigger the gun while adjusting the ears on the air cap. NEVER point the spray gun at any part of the body.

MATERIAL FLOW CONTROL

The material flow control will be factory-set at its lowest setting out of the box. Adjust as needed.

• Turn the knob out (counterclockwise) for less flow. Generally, low material flow is needed for spraying smaller surface areas, such as corners, lattice, or spindles.
• Turn the knob in (clockwise) for increased flow. Generally, high material flow is needed for spraying large surface areas, such as fences and decks.
  

AIR CAP / PATTERN ADJUSTMENT

Adjust the spray pattern by turning the air cap ears. The air cap position will determine the movement direction of the spray gun.

1. Round pattern:
   Use up and down, or side to side spraying motion, depending upon the object being sprayed.
   

2. Vertical pattern:
   Use side-to-side motion during spraying.
   

3. Horizontal pattern:
   Use up and down motion during spraying.
   

SPRAYING

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.

SPRAYING TECHNIQUE

• Plug in the power cord to turn on the turbine. No material will spray until the trigger is activated.
• Position the spray gun perpendicular to the spray surface.
• Spray parallel to the surface with straight and full passes at a consistent speed as illustrated, right.
• Always apply a thin coat of material on the first pass and allow to dry before applying a second, slightly heavier coat.
• When spraying, always trigger the spray gun after the spray pass has begun and release the trigger before stopping the pass. Always keep the gun pointed squarely at the spray surface and overlap passes by 50% to obtain the most consistent and professional finish possible.
  
  

Frequently wipe the nozzle tip with a damp rag when spraying to remove dried material.

HOW TO SPRAY PROPERLY

Practice your technique:

• Get closer. The spray gun should be 6-12 inches away from the spray object.
• Full passes. Spray the material in straight and full passes, not short waves.
• Light coats. For a finer finish, coat lightly during first pass, then cover completely on second pass.
  

DO NOT pull the trigger when the turbine is unplugged. Spray material will leak from the nozzle.

If after following the guidelines on these two pages you are still not getting the spray performance you need, refer to the ‘Troubleshooting’ section on page 11.

CLEANUP

When cleaning, use the appropriate cleaning solution (warm, soapy water for latex materials; mineral spirits for oilbased materials).

FLUSHING THE UNIT

Special cleanup instructions for use with mineral spirits (must have a flashpoint above 100ºF (38ºC):

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

1. Unplug the power cord. Loosen the material container by 1/2 turn, but do not remove it. This will relieve any pressure left over in the system. Pull the trigger so that the material inside the spray nozzle drains back into the container.
   

2. Unscrew the container and remove. Empty any remaining material back into the material container.

3. Pour a small amount of the appropriate cleaning solution into the cup (Water=1/2 full. Mineral spirits=1/4 full).

4. Attach the cup to the nozzle and plug in the sprayer.

5. Spray the cleaning solution into a safe area. While spraying, gently shake the spray gun. This slight agitation will help break up smaller particles of spray material.

6. Unplug the power cord. Loosen the material container by 1/2 turn, but do not remove it. This will relieve any pressure left over in the system. Pull the trigger so that the material inside the spray nozzle drains back into the container.
   

Attention
If you cleaned the sprayer using mineral spirits, repeat steps 1-6 using warm, soapy water.

CLEANING THE NOZZLE

1. Make sure power cord is unplugged. Push the tab below the trigger, twist and separate the nozzle from the turbine. Wipe the exterior of the cup and nozzle until clean.
   

2. Unscrew the nut and remove the air cap and nozzle.
   

3. Remove the parts as shown*. Clean all parts with a cleaning brush and the appropriate cleaning solution. Reassemble when clean**.
   

4. Clean the rear of the nozzle (d) with the appropriate cleaning solution. Use a thin layer of petroleum jelly to lubricate the O-ring (e).
   

• The nozzle seal may become stuck inside the nozzle when the nozzle is removed. If this occurs, make sure to pull it out.

• It is important that the nozzle seal inside the nozzle be re-installed properly. Make sure the cup side of the seal (the side with the groove) is facing out towards the front of the nozzle. Improper installation will cause leakage and damage to the turbine
