Instruction manual
Using the spray gun trigger (9)
∙ At the beginning of the paint stroke, press the spray
gun trigger (9) and release the spray gun trigger (9) at
the end of the paint stroke. This technique will create
an even finish.
The paint stroke
∙ The painting stroke should be at an even speed
and the gun needs to be kept at a consistent distance
from the surface. Avoid a rounded swinging stroke. A
flexible wrist helps keep the gun moving in a straight line
and an even distance from the surface.
Overlapping
∙ Each pass of the spray gun needs to overlap
the previous by approximately 1/3. A cross pattern is
recommended. Start with horizontal passes and finish
with light vertical passes. When spraying a long job such
as a fence, it is best to work in sections of approximately
one metre. Ensure sufficient overlap when starting a
new section.
Spraying ceilings
∙ Spraying ceilings is difficult and requires patience
and skill. Ensure that the pick up tube (2) is turned
towards the rear of the paint cup (1). Fill the paint cup (1)
no more than 1/2 full and do not point the gun vertically
upwards as paint may flow into the flexible air hose (15).
Spraying down
∙ When spraying down on a horizontal surface such
as a bench, ensure that the pick up tube (2) is turned
towards the front of the paint cup (1). Fill the paint cup
(1) no more than 1/2 full and do not point the spray gun
vertically down.
Spraying picket fences and lattice
∙ Avoid spraying on windy days. Overspray can drift
considerable distances and dust can effect the painted
surface. Place a large sheet of cardboard behind the
surface to catch the through spray.
Spraying narrow surfaces [F5]
∙ Screw the paint control in and this will create
a narrow spray pattern. Adjust the air cap (5) to
accommodate horizontal or vertical spraying. Hold the
gun closer to the surface for narrow jobs.
Spraying a large surface
∙ When spraying a large surface such as a wall,
screw the fluid adjustment knob (8) out and this will
create a wide spray pattern. If the paint begins to
splatter, readjust the fluid adjustment knob (8) inwards.
Hold the gun further from the surface for larger jobs.
Masking the surface
∙ Always mask any adjacent surfaces you do not wish
to paint. Take care to cover any nearby objects such as
furniture. Overspray can easily fall on nearby surfaces.
Spraying round surfaces
∙ When spraying round surfaces such as a post,
spray up and down with the air cap (5) in the horizontal
pattern.
ATTENTION! Clean the gun
immediately after use!
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
Before any work on the device itself,
pull the mains plug.
∙ Always keep the tool and the ventilation slots (if
present) cleaned. Regular cleaning and maintenance of
the appliance will ensure efficiency and prolong the life
of your tool.
∙ If the tool should fail despite the rigorous
manufacturing and testing procedures, the repair should
be carried out by an authorized IVT customer service.
∙ Keep all nuts, bolts, and screws tight, to be sure the
tool is in safe working condition.
∙ Replace worn or damaged parts for safety.
∙ Use only original spare parts. Parts not produced
by manufacturer may cause poor fit and possible injury.
∙ Store the tool in a dry room out of reach of kids and
away from any flammable material.
∙ Never wet the device or spray water on it!
Cleaning instructions
∙ Turn off the compressor unit (3). Unplug the power
cord. Empty the paint cup (1). Hold the trigger (9) in and
paint will run out of the pick up tube (2).
∙ Using the recommended solvent (usually water or
mineral turpentine), clean the pick up tube (2), inside
the lid, the paint cup (1), lid washer (6), the air cap (5)
and retaining ring (4) and nozzle (13). Take care to
clean air hole (12), but do not force any instrument into
the air hole (12). Wipe all excess paint from all outside
surfaces of the spray gun.
∙ Place some of recommended solvent into the paint
cup (1). A small amount is enough. Reassemble the
spray gun and spray through until clean. Do not spray
solvent or water onto the compressor unit (3) or power
cords or hose to clean them.
