cause you to lose control.

2. Electrical safety

a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not

use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and

matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators,

ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is

earthed or grounded.

c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the

power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged

or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.

e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor

use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current

device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Always use a Residual Current Device (RCD) (GFCI) / Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker /

Safety Switch when operating this item (electrical items only).

3. Personal safety

a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a

power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of

drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may

result in serious personal injury.

b. Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection

used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before

connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools that have

the switch on invites accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or

a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better

control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing

and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be

caught in moving parts.

g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can

reduce dust-related hazards.

4. Power tool use and care

a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The

correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Preparation

HVLP – High Volume Low Pressure

Traditional spray guns require a compressor to spray with a constant pressure. Normal HVLP

Multi-Purpose Spray Stations have an electromagnetic plunger to spray paint; the disadvantage

of this is that there is no constant spray. The spray is actually pulsating. The HVLP HVLP Multi-

Purpose Spray Station has a powerful fan rather than a compressor. The fan provides a high

volume of air with low pressure, resulting in a constant spray without the assistance of a

compressor.

Explanation of the System

The device works according to low-pressure spraying technique. A high volume of air surround

the spray jet being ejected under low pressure. The air cap provides a very fine atomization with

the lowest of spray mist .The coating material is applied to the object quickly and exactly. The air

flow shortens the drying time for the coating material this gives perfect spraying result with a

saving of coating material and is therefore good for the environment.

Function Description

The motor blower produces a flow of air which flows through the air hose to the spray gun. The

air flow atomizes the coating material at the nozzle and also pressurizes the container. This

pressure pushes the coating material up the ascending pipe to the nozzle. The air and pressure

setting can be adjusted progressively.

NOTE: For obtaining the best results from your spray gun, surface preparation and paint thinning

are the two most important areas with which to be concerned. Ensure all surfaces are free from

dust, dirt and grease. Masking is important to ensure you do not spray those areas you wish to

remain untouched. Make sure paint is thoroughly mixed.

Important – Selecting Paint

Although a large number of paints and materials can be sprayed, some cannot. Please check

manufacturer’s recommendation before purchasing paint. If the paint can refers to brush

application only it cannot be sprayed.

Materials Which Can Be Used

Suitable for a range of oil and water based products recommended for spray application,

including paint, varnish, stains and wood preservatives.

Materials Which Cannot Be Used

THE SPRAY GUN CANNOT BE USED FOR PAINTS SUCH AS EXTERIOR TEXTURED WALL

PAINTS, MATERIALS CONTAINING ABRASIVE SUBSTANCES, GLAZES, DISPERSION

PAINTS, CAUSTIC AND ALKALINE SUBSTANCES OR TEXTURED COATINGS. TO OBTAIN

THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR SPRAY GUN, PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS

CAREFULLY BEFORE USE.

Thinning

Thinning is particularly important when spraying. Most paints are supplied ready for brush

application and need to be diluted sufficiently for spraying purposes.

Follow the manufacturers guide for thinning in conjunction with a spray gun. If in doubt please

consult the manufacturer of the paint. A viscosity cup will help you determine the correct

thickness of the paint. As some paints, wood preservatives and other sprayable materials contain

particles and have different qualities, please ensure that when filling the paint pot on your spray

gun, the paint is filtered through either a funnel with a filter on it, or through nylon tights or

stockings. This will ensure no large particles enter the paint pot, therefore preventing blockages

and providing you with trouble free spraying. Ensure that a face mask, gloves, goggles and ear

protectors are worn at all times when spraying.

Floetrol

is an acrylic paint conditioner that you can add to the paint pot which is for easy,

trouble-free spraying. It helps thin your paint however also reduces wear and replacement cost of

parts within the spray gun. It also reduces tip clogging avoiding freeze up in the trigger which

gives you a professional finish.

Inadequate Thinning:

•

Paint must be thinned by approx. 15% when using a paint sprayer.

•

Use water to thin water-based paint.

•

Use turps to thin oil-based paint.

•

For 1 litre of paint, add 150ml of water/turps.

•

For 5 litres of paint, add 750ml of water/turps.

•

Be sure to stir the paint well after the water/turps has been added.

•

If the spray is still not fine enough or the flow is inadequate, try thinning the paint a little more.

•

Do not thin bulk amounts of paint until you have determined the ideal amount and tested it

through the sprayer.

Determining Viscosity

Information regarding dilution is normally found on the

material tin. Use the viscosity table to determine the

thickness of the coating material.

First stir the spraying material thoroughly then to

determine the viscosity, dip the viscosity cup into the

material below the rim level and fill up. Lift the cup out of

the tin and start timing as soon as the cup is above the

surface. Time how long it takes the viscosity cup to empty

(Fig. 1). Use the chart below as a guide to determine if the

material requires further thinning and thin accordingly,

within the material manufacturer’s recommendations.

Viscosity vs. Material

This runout time is called DIN seconds (DIN-s). Use this table as a guide only.

B = horizontal fan - for vertical

surfaces

C = round fan - for corners, edges and

other hard to access places.

Adjusting the required spray pattern

(Fig. 8): With the air cap nut loosened,

turn air cap (1) to the required spray

pattern.

CAUTION: Never open trigger (12) when making adjustments on the air cap.

Spraying Technique

The spraying result depends considerably on now smooth and clean the surface is before

spraying is begun. For this reason the surface should be carefully prepared and kept free of dust.

Surfaces and parts not to be sprayed should be masked by covering with sticky tape and

newspaper. It is advisable to carry out a trial spraying onto cardboard or a similar surface to find

the most suitable spray gun adjustments.

NOTE: Start spraying outside the surface to be sprayed and avoid stopping in the middle of the

surface being sprayed.

Always hold the spray gun at an even

distance from the object to be sprayed.

The distance will vary with the type of

paint being sprayed, 20cm is

suggested to start with and adjust if

necessary. Move the spray gun evenly

across or up and down, depending on

the adjusted spraying effect (Fig. 9).

The movement of the spray gun should

be by the arm rather than the wrist to

ensure that the space between the

spray gun and surface remains the

same throughout the operation.

Uneven movement of the spray gun will

give an uneven surface quality (Fig.10).

An even movement of the spray gun

will give a uniform surface quality.

If coating material builds up on the

nozzle (2) and air cap (1) (Fig.11).

Remove the air cap nut and air cap (1).

Clean both parts and around nozzle (2)

with solvent or water using a stiff brush.

If the nozzle (2) becomes blocked it

can be removed by using a 9mm open

ended spanner, carefully unscrew from

the paint head. Clean the nozzle (2)

and remove any paint build up. Be

careful not to damage the nozzle (2) as

this will affect the spray gun

performance.

Helpful Hints

1. Do not spray outdoors on a windy day as the results may be unsatisfactory.

2. Evenly control the speed of movement of the spray gun. A fast speed will give a thin coat and

a slow speed will give a heavy coat.

3. Only apply one coat at a time. If a further coat is required follow the paint manufacturer’s

instructions for re-coating and drying times.

4. If spraying small areas or objects keep the output setting low as this will avoid excessive use

of paint and will minimise overspray.

5. When spraying large areas or objects,

it is best to use a crisscross pattern,

either from left to right then up or down

or vice-versa. This will ensure

maximum coverage (Fig. 12).

6. Avoid stopping and starting when

spraying as this can lead to too much

or not enough paint on a surface.

7. To ensure edges are covered,

commence spraying just to the side of

an area being sprayed, continue and

do not stop until the spray has gone

Cleaning

Clean After Every Use

After every use it is essential that you clean the gun thoroughly. This will prevent any blockages

occurring and provide reliable performance when you next come to use it.

1. Turn off device. Open trigger so that

the coating material in spray gun runs

back into the container.

2. Unscrew the container. Return

remaining material into the material

can.

3. Clean the container. Remove the

suction tube by turning counter-

clockwise and pull gently to

disassemble from the paint head.

Disassemble the suction tube (Fig.13)

for further cleaning by turning

clockwise then pull to disassemble.

NOTE: Only use solvent with a flash

point of over 21°C

4. Take note of the 3 holes on the suction

tube, if blocked clean using the

provided cleaning needle (Fig. 14).

The 3 holes are used to pressurize the

paint pot (11) for the paint pickup. If

these holes are partially blocked it will

result in uneven and inconsistent

spraying.

5. Thoroughly clean the suction tube

using clear solvent or water before

reassembling.

6. Re-fit suction tube and fill container with solvent or water.

7. Screw container back in place. Turn on device and spray the solvent or water into a

container.

8. Repeat the above procedure until clear solvent or water comes out of the nozzle.

9. Turn off device.

10. Then completely empty the container. Always keep the container seal free of coating material

and check for damage.

11. If the housing of the gun requires cleaning dip a cloth in the solvent or water, ensuring the

cloth is not dripping, wipe the exterior of the spray gun.

12. Unscrew the air cap nut. Remove air cap. Clean the air cap and nozzle with brush and

solvent or water.

13. Prior to storing the mobile paint station, ensure it is completely dry. This will minimise residue

build-up for the next use.

of the tool by an unauthorised person or by mishandling of the tool.

Clean-Up

It is extremely important to thoroughly flush the sprayer immediately after use.

1. Use water to flush out water-based paint.

2. Use turps to flush out oil-based paint.

3. Spray oil/turps through the sprayer in exactly the same way you use paint.

4. You must run enough water/turps through the sprayer to ensure absolutely all paint has been

removed from the system. Keep spraying until there's absolutely no paint coming out - the

oil/turps should be completely clear.

5. Then complete clean-up by thoroughly removing all paint residue from the spray nozzle, the

paint inlet and the rest of the machine.

6. Any trace of paint left in the unit or around the inlet or nozzle will prevent the sprayer from

working properly.

7. Simply let our team know the unit is blocked and they will advise the easiest solution for un-

blocking.

Maintenance

If required the spray gun plunger can be

removed and cleaned. This is a

maintenance task and should not be

required on a frequent basis. If the paint

has been allowed to dry in the paint head

or the spray gun has had a lot of use then

removing and cleaning or replacing the

plunger may restore the original spray gun

performance.

1. If attached remove the air hose (10)

from the spray gun. Using an 8mm

socket (not provided) carefully

unscrew and remove the spray gun

plunger assemble from the rear of the

spray gun (Fig. 15).

2. Clean the spray gun plunger assembly

and spray gun, remove any paint

using clear solvent or water.

3. After cleaning reassemble the plunger

assembly in the correct order (Fig. 16)

and refit to the rear of the spray gun.

NOTE: Do not use abrasive material to

clean the plunger as this may affect the

performance of the spray gun.

Problem Cause Remedy

My paint sprayer will not

spray.

My paint sprayer sprays

unevenly.

Paint will not come out of my

paint sprayer when I try to use

it.

The paint comes out

unevenly.

The paint is not a fine spray

when it comes out.

The paint is blotchy or messy

when it sprays out.

The paint sprayer is blocked.

Inadequate thinning or

blockage.

Inadequate Thinning:



Paint must be thinned by approx.

15% when using a paint sprayer.



Use water to thin water-based

paint.



Use turps to thin oil-based paint.



For 1 litre of paint, add 150ml of

water/turps.



For 5 litres of paint, add 750ml of

water/turps.



Be sure to stir the paint well after

the water/turps has been added.



If the spray is still not fine enough

or the flow is inadequate, try

thinning the paint a little more.



Do not thin bulk amounts of paint

until you have determined the ideal

amount and tested it through the

sprayer.

Blockage:



As outlined in the product manual

it is extremely important to

thoroughly flush the sprayer

immediately after use.



Use water to flush out water-based

paint.



Use turps to flush out oil based

paint.



Spray oil/turps through the sprayer

in exactly the same way you use

paint.



paint coming out - the oil/turps

should be completely clear.



Then complete clean-up by

thoroughly removing all paint

residue from the spray nozzle, the

paint inlet and the rest of the

machine.



Any trace of paint left in the unit or

around the inlet or nozzle will

prevent the sprayer from working
