MATERIAL PREPARATION

Suitable Materials (Water and Oil-based)

• Latex and oil-based paints
• Decorative paints
• Semi-Transparent stain
• Solid stains
• Water-based lacquers
• Urethanes

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).

Material Preparation

• Before spraying, the material being used may need to be thinned with the proper solvent as specified by the material manufacturer. Never exceed the thinning advice given by the coating manufacturer.
  Do not use materials with a flash point below 70 °F (21 °C). Follow the instructions below.

  • Stir the spraying material thoroughly before measuring viscosity.
  • Dip the viscosity test cup completely into the spraying material.
  • Hold the test cup up and measure the time in seconds until the liquid empties out. This time is referred to as Run out time
    This is the “Run out 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 Chart

Material to be sprayed should always 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.

OPERATION INSTRUCTION

Filing the Canister

1. Unscrew the Canister. Stand the canister on a smooth 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.

Adjusting Spray Pattern Shape
The spray pattern shape is adjusted by turning the ears of the air cap to either a vertical, horizontal, or diagonal position. The positions of the air cap and the corresponding spray pattern shapes are illustrated. Test each pattern and use whichever pattern is suitable for your application.

Spray Width Adjustment

• Adjust the material volume by turning thematerial adjustment knob on the side of the spray gun.
• Rotate counterclockwise (rotate to the right) to increase spray width.
• Turn clockwise (rotate to the left) to decrease spray width.
• Spray wide pattern for coating large surfaces and thicker materials.
• Spray narrow pattern for coating smaller areas, corners and edges and thinner material.

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 work piece.

• 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
  Outdoor use only The spray area must be clean and free of dust in order to avoid blowing dust onto your freshly sprayed surface.

Nozzle Size Recommendation
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

How to Spray Properly
It is important to keep your arm moving whenever the gun is being triggered. If you pause or / linger in one spot too long, too much material will be sprayed to the surface linger in one spot too long, too much material will be sprayed to the surface.

• Position the spray gun perpendicular to and 8 to 12 inches from the spray surface, depending upon the spray pattern size desired. With reduced material flow and air power, you can get closer to the spraying surtace.
• 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.
• Spray parallel to the surface with smooth passes at a consistent speed as illustrated below. Doing this will help avoid irregularities in the finish (i. e. runs and sags).
• Always apply a thin coat of material first then allow to dry before applying a second, slightly heavier coat.
• When spraying larger surfaces, overlap each spray pass by at least 50% This will ensure full coverage.
• 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.

During a project, periodically wipe the nozzle tip with a cloth to remove any dried paint. When you quit spraying for any length of time, unplug the sprayer. When you restart, wipe the nozzle with a damp cloth to remove any dried paint.

TROUBLESHOOTING

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

The device and all accessories and packaging have to be recycled in an environmentally friendly manner.
Do not dispose of the appliance with household waste.
Support environmental protection by taking the appliance to a local collection point or obtain information from a specialist retailer. Leftover paint and solvents may not be emptied into drains, the sewage system or disposed of as household rubbish. It has to be disposed of separately as special waste. Please pay special attention to the instructions on the product packaging.

Separate collection of used products and packaging allows materials to be and used again. Re-use of recycled materials helps prevent environmental pollution and reduces the demand for raw materials. Local regulations may provide for separate collection of electrical products from the household, at municipal waste sites or by the retailer when you purchase a new product.
