Fill Container
1. Unscrew the cup from the spray gun.
2. After the material has been properly thinned and
strained, fill the container to the top of the neck.
3. Carefully screw the cup back onto the spray gun.
Spraying
The spray pattern shape is adjusted by turning the earsof
the air cap to either the vertical, horizontal, or diagonal
positions. The positions of the air cap and thecorrespon-
ding spray pattern shapes are illustrated below.Test each
pattern and use whichever pattern is suitablefor your
application.
NEVER trigger the gun while adjusting the
ears on the air cap. NEVER point the spray
gun at any part of the body.
Material Flow Adjustment
Set the material volume by turning the regulator behind
the trigger of the spray gun.
Proper Spraying Technique
If spraying with an HVLP spray system is new or unfami-
liar 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 - outdoor use only
The spray area must be clean and free of dust in order
to avoid blowing dust onto your freshly sprayed surface.
How to Spray Properly
• Position the spray gun perpendicular to and one (1) or
more inches from the spray surface, depending upon
the spray pattern size desired.
• 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 on the first pass and
allow to dry before applying a
second, slightly heavier coat.
• The closer your sprayer is to
the object being sprayed the
lower the overspray.
• When spraying, always trigger
the spray gun after spray pass
has begun and release trig-
ger 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.
Cleanup
Cleaning the Spray Gun
Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable solvents (must have a flashpoint
above 70ºF (21ºC):
• Always flush spray gun outside.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Cleaning area must be well-ventilated.
• DO NOT SUBMERGE Air Compressor!
1. Unplug the spray gun, and trigger the spray gun
so that the material inside the spray gun flows back
into the container.
