• Declares that

QTech5 HVLP Turbines

• are in conformity with

EN 60335-1

• according to
• 73/23/EEC Low Voltage Directive

Please read these instructions carefully before using the equipment
EARTHING
This appliance must be earthed. If it should malfunction or break down, earthing provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment-earthing conductor and an earthed plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and earthed under all local codes and legislation.

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric shock.

• Check with a qualified electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
• Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade earthing plug and a 3-slot receptacle that accepts the plug on the product.
• An undersized cord results in a drop in line voltage and loss of power and overheating.
• Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury, do not be exposed to rain.
• Never allow unit to freeze.
• Always store the unit inside in a dry location. Store on the floor if in a basement setting.
• The operator must wear shoes and the floor must not be wet.

FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD
This QTech HVLP Turbine must not be used in an area contaminated by volatile or flammable materials since sparking can be expected in the normal operation of the motor. This could ignite the contaminants causing a dangerous explosion.

• Do not spray flammable or combustible materials near an open flame or sources of ignition such as cigarettes, motors, and electrical equipment.
• Keep the spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area. Keep the turbine in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not spray the turbine.
• Turn off and disconnect the power cord before servicing the equipment.
• Do not smoke in the spray area.
• Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark-producing products in the spray area.
• Keep the area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other flammable materials.
• Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
• Sprayer generates sparks. When flammable liquid is used in or near the sprayer or for flushing or cleaning, keep sprayer at least 6 m away from explosive vapours or the spraying area.
• Ensure ground prongs are intact on sprayer and extension cords.
• Always disconnect the unit from the main supply when filling the paint container.
• Never use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated hydrocarbon solvents or fluids containing such solvents in equipment with aluminium-wetted parts. Such use could result in a serious chemical reaction, with the possibility of explosion.
• Consult your fluid suppliers to ensure that the fluids being used are compatible with aluminium parts.

GETTING STARTED

NOTE
Throughout this manual we have used the generic word ‘Paint’ to describe all and any coatings. Please substitute the word ‘Paint’ for whatever finish or coating you are spraying.
Your QTech HVLP Gun has been adjusted at the factory and is ready for spraying. To clean out any impurities that may have accumulated during assembly or shipping, we recommend spraying a small quantity of clean paint thinner through the gun. Before tackling any serious spraying, experiment with the gun on a scrap piece of wood until you become familiar with all the controls.
HOSE CONNECTION
Connect the hex nut at the end of the hose (female connector) to the turbine air outlet. Tighten this nut lightly. Overturning could cause the internal manifold to rotate and break the internal seal to the motor. A Male Quick Connect Coupling 10-2010 is available as an accessory for the connection to the turbine.
AIR CONTROL VALVE
The Air Control Valve 10-2003 is located on the hose next to the brass quick- connect. It provides you with a means of controlling the airflow through the gun. It offers fingertip control when needed to reduce bounce back and overspray. It is important to remember that the air control valve – is the ‘last in the chain’ of operations after:

1. Thinning the paint
2. Adjusting the shape and size of the spray pattern
3. Adjusting the flow of paint through the gun

After performing these operations, you should spray a few passes onto a scrap piece of plywood or cardboard. This will allow you to determine if the paint levels nicely. Once the Gun is producing a perfect finish with full air, you may then experiment with turning the air down until bounce back is reduced to a minimum. However, if orange-peel results, you have no option but to turn the air up again
a slight amount.
PLASTIC DIAPHRAGM
The 1-litre pressurised suction cup has a Plastic Diaphragm 10-2005 (not found in the gravity spray gun). This diaphragm prevents paint from entering the Pressure Tube 10-2000. The small air hole in the diaphragm should not be placed directly below the air hole in the nipple. Position the diaphragm hole to the rear of the cup. The spray gun can be turned to different angles when spraying but never beyond horizontal.

CHANGING THE SHAPE OF THE FAN

1. Loosen the Collar 10-2080. Turn the Air Cap to the horizontal position then re-tighten the collar to lock it into place. This setting produces a vertical spray pattern.
   This pattern is used more than any other by experienced spray painters.

2. Setting the air cap in a vertical position produces a horizontal spray pattern.
   To lock it in position, tighten the collar. The horizontal fan pattern is the most useful for painting vertically such as a doorframe.

CHANGING THE SIZE OF THE FAN

• To produce a smaller fan pattern, turn the Pattern Control Knob counterclockwise. Because the spray pattern size is now much smaller, you must turn down the amount of paint spraying through the nozzle at the Fluid Adjusting Knob 10-2093 (rear of gun). If you do not do this, you will get runs.
• To set the fluid output, simply turn the fluid adjusting knob counter-clockwise for more ‘paint’ and clockwise for less. Once you set the fluid to your liking, you can leave it in this position – unless of course, you change the size of the fan pattern.
• For the very smallest pattern (less than 1”), you must move the gun closer to the workpiece – but don’t forget to reduce the amount of paint at the fluid
  adjusting knob.

USING A GRAVITY CUP
When using a gravity cup ensure that the de-pressurizing procedure as explained on page 18 is adhered to.

SPRAYING TECHNIQUES

The spray gun should be held perpendicular to the surface at all times. HOLD THE GUN NO MORE THAN 8” (20cm) AWAY FROM THE SURFACE TO BE PAINTED.
CORRECT METHOD

Start off the piece. Pull the trigger and move the spray gun in the direction you want to spray. Continue off the edge of the piece on the other end before releasing the trigger. Between each successive pass, overlap by about a half.
INCORRECT METHOD

CAUTION | Never, for any reason, point the spray gun directly at the face, or head of a person.

AIR CAP SET SELECTION

• Six additional size setups are available as accessories.
• Size # 4 (1.5mm) is standard with all QTech HVLP guns.
• 1.0mm, 1.3mm or 1.5mm can be used for any type of fine-finishing application. The larger sizes such as 1.8mm allow for more fluid output – desirable with fast-drying lacquers.

VISCOSITY GUIDE

• A Viscosity Cup (Ford #4 Standard) is included with your QTech system. To test the viscosity of the paint material, fill the viscosity cup to the brim and time how long it takes for the liquid to empty out through the hole. We recommend you experiment to find the ideal viscosity for your application and record the information for the next time.

• Always check with the manufacturer of the coating for assistance in thinning
  for spraying. If their product is only designed to be brushed, they may not be too helpful. But remember that any type of coating can be sprayed if it is thinned correctly (with the appropriate solvent) and you have installed the ideal aircap set.

• The chart below illustrates how many SECONDS it should take for the
  material to flow out of the viscosity cup. This is only an approximate guide.

• We suggest thinning around 25% to begin with but this may contravene the air quality control laws for your location. The solvent used for thinning is usually the solvent mentioned on the can (instructions for ‘cleaning the brushes’). However, please check with the coatings manufacturer. The aim is to thin as little as possible.

HVLP spraying is more friendly to the environment than most methods of spraying. It reduces appreciably the amount of unnecessary misting and fogging (overspray) associated with high-pressure spraying. Spraying with Nitrocellulose lacquer can be hazardous. The lacquer, fumes and overspray are toxic, flammable and explosive. If spraying must be done inside an enclosed area, ventilate well. Spray close to an open window or door and situate a fan to draw out the fumes (an explosion-proof motor and explosion-proof lighting will be necessary). Please check with the Local Authority having jurisdiction on this matter.

A WORD ABOUT LATEX

• Although Latex Paint was never originally intended to be sprayed, a professional finish can be achieved by following a few simple rules. (Please do not confuse latex with the newer water-based coatings). For work such as cabinetry or trim, our equipment can be used successfully with latex paint. The latex will have to be thinned with WATER – approximately 10-30% depending on the brand of
  paint. And to improve the finish even more, you can use an additive that will slow down the drying process so that the paint levels out nicely. One product available is Floetrol from the Flood Company in Ohio. Call 0845-0618899 for further information.

• The recommended air cap size setup is either 1.5mm or 1.8mm for household trim, louvre doors etc. The latex paint should be ‘finish-quality’ and not a
  cheaper grade.

• When spraying latex, please adjust the Fluid Knob 10-2093 to limit the paint to a finer spray. This will increase the ratio of air to paint and result in better atomization and a beautiful finish. (Factually speaking, it doesn’t increase the ratio of air to paint but does the opposite – it allows the air atomizing power to work on less paint thereby improving the quality of atomization). Also, it is usually helpful to remove the air control valve so that more air passes through the spray gun. Finally, adjust the pattern to a maximum size of 8” – 9” (20cm) – smaller is ok. Apply a wet coating (wet like a lake).

• Although it is possible to use our equipment for house painting (walls), and many end users do, we feel that an airless gun or power roller is better suited for that kind of job. However, if you decide to do this kind of work, you will need the 2.0mm or 2.5mm air cap set.

• Remember, when you buy a can of paint, lacquer, polyurethane, varnish etc. over the counter, it will most likely be formulated for brushing. That means, it will be too viscous (thick) and will require thinning to spray successfully. This is true even when spraying is mentioned on the label of the can. Check with the manufacturer of the coating to obtain advice on thinning their product. Unfortunately, sometimes you may encounter Technical Sales Personnel who have very little experience or knowledge about

• HVLP Turbine spraying.

GENERAL CLEANING

To clean the gun after each use, empty all paint from the cup. Use a solvent- soaked rag to clean the residue in the cup. Then, spray some clean solvent through the gun into a clean rag (to avoid filling the room with unnecessary spray) or a bucket. Repeat until the inside of the fluid passages in the gun, metal fluid tube etc are clean. Use the wet rag to wipe off the air cap and tip of the fluid nozzle.
The air cap can be soaked in thinner.
If this type of cleaning is done while the paint is still wet in the gun, it should be all that is necessary to keep the gun clean enough for next time. Do not leave liquids in the cup overnight or for long periods.
Do not restrict the fluid nozzle when cleaning (by putting your finger over the nozzle orifice) – this will drive thinned paint up the pressure tube and into the spray gun which is undesirable.
PLEASE DO NOT USE A WIRE BRUSH OR ANYTHING METAL TO CLEAN THE GUN OR CUP AS THIS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE.
DO NOT disassemble the cup assembly – threads in your cup have been sealed at the factory to prevent leakage under pressure.
The standard 1 quart (1000cc) cup can be used with most coatings (including water-based). Also available as an accessory is our Teflon Coated Cup 10-2008.
CAUTION | Never soak the complete spray gun in solvent as this removes the grease from the parts and distributes thinned paints throughout the air passages. It could also damage internal parts such as the spindle valve or valve seals.
It may sometimes be necessary to soak the air cap, nozzle, needle, air diffuser and air divider. You may soak only the metal parts in solvent and clean with a soft bristle cleaning brush. To reassemble, first oil or grease all moving and threaded parts.
CAUTION | Do not lay the gun down on its side with liquid material in it.
When not in use the cup lid should not be clamped down hard as this will cause the gasket to flatten out.

CLEANING FLUID PASSAGES
To clean, flush solvent through the spray gun while the paint is still wet inside
the gun. If this type of quick cleaning is performed frequently, the spray gun will function well for many years. 99% of problems with a spray gun stem from clogs in the fluid passages and (perhaps more important), the pressure tube air passages. See page 16 – NO PAINT (OR VERY LITTLE PAINT).
CLEANING BEHIND THE FLUID NOZZLE
Remove the Collar 10-2080 and Aircap. Using the supplied wrench, remove the Fluid Nozzle. Once the fluid nozzle is removed please be careful that the Air Diffuser 10-2081 does not fall out of the gun. Use the cleaning brush and appropriate solvent to clean behind the fluid nozzle. The air cap, fluid nozzle, needle, air diffuser and air divider may be soaked in solvent. To remove the needle, remove the Fluid Knob 10-2093, Spring 10-2092 from the rear of the gun.
The needle can then be soaked and later wiped clean.
When reinstalling the air diffuser, note that there is a locating pin on the backside. This pin must be located into the matching hole in the Air Divider 10-2084.
PLEASE DO NOT SOAK THE WHOLE GUN IN ANY LIQUID.
THIS IS NEVER NECESSARY OR ADVISABLE.
CLOGGED GUN – THE FLUID COUPLER
If the Fluid Coupler is clogged with dried paint it must be cleaned while in place in the gun. The fluid coupler should not be removed. Remove the cup assembly by loosening the nut. Use the supplied cleaning brush to unclog the inside of the fluid coupler using a solvent. Replace the cup. Before tightening, position the cup to the preferred position and tighten the nut.

ACHIEVING THE DESIRED FINISH

ORANGE PEEL
If the finish is rough and resembles orange peel then the material is too thick.
(Or perhaps you have the air control valve turned down – please check that it is fully open). The ‘paint’ will not atomize properly and the surface will be spotty.
To remedy this, add more thinner (or the appropriate solvent). For fast-drying products such as lacquers, you may also want to add a lacquer retarder. This will slow the drying time allowing the material to flow out and level nicely.
Retarders are available for other coatings too, such as Penetrol for oil-based paints or Floetrol for latex house paints. These products go under different names such as flow-out additives etc. Please check with the coatings manufacturer.
NOTE
With the newer water-based materials ‘orange peel’ is usually a result of spraying on too thick a film. Try spraying an extremely THIN FILM, but still WET coat. With most other coatings, orange peel is caused by the material being too thick or not having enough atomizing power. This is why we suggest leaving the air control valve fully open when experimenting with a new coating material, otherwise, it will confuse. If the air control valve is fully open (or perhaps removed for latex spraying) then orange peel can only be one cause – the material is too thick and must be thinned.
GRITTY FINISH
If the material is too thin, it is likely to run or be over-atomized, producing a rough gritty finish. Try thinning the product less and spraying a wetter coat.
FISH EYES
If you are refinishing furniture or pianos, fish eyes could become a problem. The cause is usually silicone or oil from polish which has been liquefied by the paint stripper that has now soaked into the bare wood. This silicone prevents the lacquer from adhering to the wood. One way to sometimes correct this is to seal in the silicone by misting on two or three light coats of lacquer. Then spray on a regular wet coat. We do not recommend the use of a product known as ‘Fish-Eye Drops’ which is essentially liquid silicone. Silicone will only contaminate the gun even further. Anything that comes into contact with the silicone becomes contaminated – such as; rags, aprons, bench tops, and gloves.

SPRAY GUN USER GUIDE
NO PAINT (OR VERY LITTLE PAINT)
The air passing through the Pressure Tube 10-2000/10-2001 to pressurize the cup is blocked. This means that either the tube itself, the check valve, or one of the two nipples are blocked. A pipe cleaner can be used for cleaning the hole in the nipple.

• Pressurizing tube and/or nipples are blocked – COMMON
• The cup is not tightened down sufficiently or the cup lid gasket is worn and leaking air
• The cup is empty
• The metal fluid tube is blocked with paint – RARE
• The fluid coupler is blocked with paint – RARE

UNEVEN SPRAY PATTERN
One of the holes in the air cap may be blocked. Or, the paint could be dirty and is partially block the fluid nozzle. Remove the air cap and clean by soaking in solvent and using a soft bristle brush or a rag. NEVER use metal objects to clean holes in the air cap.
LEAKAGE
If paint material comes out of the fluid nozzle without pulling the trigger.

• The needle is not sitting in the fluid nozzle properly
• The needle packing may be too tight preventing the needle from moving -see page 18 needle packing
• Foreign matter trapped between the needle and fluid nozzle
• The needle or fluid nozzle could be damaged or worn
• Loose fluid nozzle
• Wrong fluid nozzle size installed

CUP LEAKS

• Oil above and below the lever to smooth the lever action
• Change gasket/diaphragm
• Leak around nipple – use Loctite to seal
• Leak around side pins – use Loctite to seal
• Leak through lid – remove nut under lid – use Loctite

THE TRIGGER IS SLUGGISH

• The Needle Packing is too tight – see LEAKAGE FROM THE NEEDLE PACKING NUT page 18
• Bent Needle

POOR SPRAY PATTERN

• Damaged needle or nozzle
• Nozzle is clogged
• Air holes in air cap clogged
• Gun too far from the surface (max. 8”/20cm)

PAINT AT THE AIR NOZZLE HOLES

• The fluid nozzle is loose and material is leaking around it – tighten with the supplied wrench
• Paint enters the gun via a pressure tube and is blown through the barrel to the air cap

GUN SPRAYS IN A PULSATING MANNER

• The needle packing has worn a little or is loose. Tighten.
• The cup is almost empty
• The cup lid is not tight – air is escaping
• The clear plastic pressure tube is leaking air – replace
• The pressure tube and/or nipple is clogged – clear or replace

EXCESSIVE OVERSPRAY

• The spray pattern size is too large for the item being sprayed
• The gun is being held too far away – should be 8” max. (20cm)
• Trigger on and off as you pass over the edges of the item
• The ‘paint’ is too thin – try thinning less
• Reduce the air by turning the air control valve to the point where overspray is minimized but the finish still looks good
• For ideal and comfortable spraying conditions, you should install an extraction fan.* If you are spraying a flammable, combustible product such as nitrocellulose lacquer, you must install an explosion-proof fan

Please check with the Local Authority having jurisdiction on this matter.

LEAKAGE FROM THE GRAVITY CUP
This occurs when there is an accumulation of cured material on the threads. The most common cause of this is opening the cup without correctly depressurizing the cup assembly. To correctly depressurize the cup, remove the pressure tube from the check valve – wait for the air to escape before opening the cup.
Should there be a build-up of cured material on the threads soften this with the correct solvent and thoroughly brush clean with the cleaning brush (supplied). The cup is all-nylon and is resistant to most solvents used in the industry.
LEAKAGE FROM THE NOZZLE
This occurs when the Needle Packing Nut 10-2086 is too tight compressing the Needle Packing 10-2085 too tightly around the needle.
Half fill the cup with water. Attach the gun to the hose and turn on the turbine blower to pressurize the cup. Pull the trigger and release. Check the nozzle for water spurting out.
Use the supplied wrench to GENTLY loosen the nut (1 or 2 degrees only at a time). This is a very sensitive adjustment. Again pull the trigger and release. Wipe away the water in between adjustments. Repeat until no water is seen at the nozzle hole.
LEAKAGE FROM THE NEEDLE PACKING NUT
This occurs when the needle packing nut is too loose.
Half fill the cup with water. Attach the gun to the hose and turn on the turbine blower to pressurize the cup. Use the supplied wrench to GENTLY tighten the needle packing nut 1 or 2 degrees only. This is a very sensitive adjustment.

• Wipe away the water in between adjustments. Repeat until no water is seen where the needle passes through the Needle Packing
  Nut 10-2086.

• It is a good idea to apply light machine oil or Vaseline to the needle shaft where it passes through the needle packing nut and work it in and out by pulling the trigger back and forth. This will lubricate the Needle Packing 10-2085.

TURBINE CARE & MAINTENANCE

FILTERS

• It is important to clean or replace the filters regularly. Operating the turbine unit with clogged or dirty filters will cause the turbine to overheat and result in premature failure. QTech HVLP Turbines have either one or two filters. To remove, simply pull the filters out from filter enclosure. Wash in warm soapy water and dry before
  replacing.

• All QTech filters are a friction fit. The filter must fill the entire filter enclosure.

• Cleaning your filters regularly is essential to maintaining your QTech HVLP

• Turbine. It is always a good idea to have a spare pair of filters on hand.

• Re-order number for filter: 10-2049 (pack 2)

IMPORTANT NOTE

• All QTech HVLP Turbines are designed for intermittent use. When taking a break between coats or stepping aside to refill your cup, it’s good practice to turn the machine off during this time. This allows it to cool off.
• When spraying, always ensure that the turbine unit is at least 5.0m (15 feet) away from spray project and in a well ventilated area. This will prevent any overspray or debris being ingested into the turbine. Failure to do this may cause the filters to clog, resulting in damage to the internal motor.
• If you experience a problem with your turbine unit, please DO NOT try to open
  and service the turbine yourself. Contact your approved dealer or Aristospray for technical assistance. If it is an issue of no power, check your power outlet. Also, try re-setting the breaker on the back of the turbine by pressing it once.

GUN HOLDER & HANDLE BAR

GUN HOLDER INSTALLATION

• The two holes on the top of the holder require the two machine screws and washers. These screws fit into threaded inserts in the metal case.
• Do not over-tighten – snug is fine.
• The single silver-coloured screw must be installed to the single hole on the side of the gun holder. Once again, please do not over-tighten this screw – snug is fine.
• If you do not intend on using the gun holder you may insert the appropriate screws (as mentioned above) to block the holes.

TURBINE HANDLEBAR INSTALLATION
Included in the box is an Allen key with four black screws and a handlebar.
Carefully position and align the handlebar over the four holes – two on each side of the turbine case. Using the Allen key, secure the screws through the handlebar onto the turbine case.

GUN HOLDER USE
Place the Hose Connector (base of the gun handle) over the shaft of the gun holder as shown in the above illustration. Please ensure it is fully set down to the base of the shaft. The spray gun will now sit stationary. The gun can be left on the holder for any length of time. It is a convenient resting place between spraying and ideal for filling the gravity cup.
