WARNING
Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 50 PSI while operating
the HVLP Spray Gun. Excessive wear will result if air pressure is too high
and/or you use unclean air. This can shorten the product life and may be
dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.
1. Always inspect, maintain and operate in accordance with ANSI
safety code for portable air tools (ANSI B186.1) and other local
safety codes and regulations.
2.
DO NOT
operate this tool over 50 PSI air pressure.
3. Always disconnect this tool from the air supply before installing,
adjusting or removing any accessory from this tool or before
performing maintenance.
4. Always assume the air tool is loaded.
5.
DO NOT
carry any air tool by the hose. Keep air hose away from
heat and sharp objects.
6. Continuous use of vibrating air tools by susceptible users may cause
damage to hands.
7. Always lubricate and maintain the tool in safe operating condition.
8. Only use accessories which are specifically designed for use with a
HVLP Spray Gun.
9. Connect the HVLP Spray Gun to the air hose.
10. Air hose fittings may get hot. Allow fittings to cool before
disconnecting, or wear gloves to prevent burns.
11.
DO NOT
use an automatic oiler system or add oil to airline. The
oil will contaminate the material being propelled, ruining the
final result.
12. This HVLP Spray Gun is meant for spraying oil-based paints. It
is not recommended for regular wall paint or thin coatings of any
type. While these products can be used with the HVLP Spray Gun,
coverage will not be even.
13.
DO NOT
use latex paints with this HVLP Spray Gun.
14. Before spraying, cover nearby objects not being sprayed and lay
cloths (not included) on the floors.
AIR SUPPLY
Ensure the HVLP Spray Gun air valve (or trigger) is in the “off” position
before connecting to the air supply. Always use clean dry air as excessive
moisture will lower the available torque and rust the interior moving parts.
Make sure all hoses and fittings are of the recommended size and be
sure the units are not used with less than or more than the recommended
pressure of the tool (29-50 PSI).
SPRAY GUN SETUP
CAUTION
Keep hands away from trigger while making adjustments.
1. The HVLP Spray Gun may be shipped with a protective plug covering
the air inlet. Remove this plug before set up.
2. Before first use, clean the HVLP Spray Gun with a solvent-based
thinner to remove the protective coating used to prevent corrosion. If
it is not removed, it will contaminate the paint.
3. Thread the Cup to the top of the Gun Body and tighten until the Cup
is securely in place.
4. This HVLP Spray Gun is meant for spraying oil-based paints. It is
not recommended for regular wall paint or thin coatings of any
type. While these products can be used with this HVLP Spray Gun,
coverage will not be even.
5. It is important that you mix the paints properly. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions. Most paints will spray easily if they are
thinned correctly.
6. Carefully strain the paint through a paint strainer or a piece of
cheesecloth.
7. Fill the Cup to 3/4 full and close the Cup.
8. Start the air compressor and set the regulator to the needed
pressure. Do NOT exceed maximum pressure (50 PSI).
9. Test the consistency by spraying a piece of scrap material.
NOTE:
If it still appears too thick, add a very small amount of thinner
(not included) and mix thoroughly. Use the proper thinner for the type of
paint. Thin CAUTIOUSLY. Proceed slowly, adding minimal amounts at a
time. Do NOT exceed the manufacturer’s thinning recommendations.
