INFORMATION ABOUT OUR HVLP SPRAY GUN TECHNICAL DATA
EXTENSION CODE
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. If an
extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-A after the cord type
designation. For example, a designation of SJTW -A would indicate that the cord w
ould be appropriate
for outdoor use.

Aligning the pickup tube (Suction tube)
Note: By pointing the pickup tube in the proper direction, you will not have to refill the canister as often.
If you are going to be spraying in a downward direction, the angled end of the pickup tube should be pointing
toward the front of gun.
If you are going to be spraying in an upward direction. The angled end of the pickup tube should be
pointing to
ward the rear of the gun as below left photo shown.
If you are going to be spraying in a downward direction, the angled end of the pickup tube should be pointing
toward the front of gun as above right photo shown.
MATERIAL PREPARATION
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).
A viscosity test cup is provided to determine the “runout time” of the material being used.
Warning! Some spray materials contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. To reduce your exposure, wear appropriate safety equipment such as
face masks, gloves, and other appropriate protective equipment. Please review and follow the safety
precautions on the paint container.
7
1. Before measuring for the proper viscosity, stir the material thoroughly.
2. Dip the viscosity cup into the material being sprayed and fill the cup completely.
3. With the cup held over the material container, measure the amount of time it takes for the stream of
material flowing out to “break” or stop being a constant stream out of the bottom of the cup ( 150 seconds
or less). This is the “runout 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.
4. It is possible to spray latex paint with this unit, however, the required thinning may exceed material
manufacturer’s recommendation. Thin latex paint so that it runs through viscosity cup within150 sec
onds.
The operator should consider the type of application and final location of the project when spraying a
material that requires more than 150 seconds to
run through the viscosity cup.
Thinning Table
OPERATION
<BEFORE SPRAYING>
Preparation tips
Always stir and strain the material thoroughly before use. If need, please use the included paper filter to filter
out the impurities.
With any spraying job you should always ensure that you have properly prepared the surface to get the best
finish. That is, all surfaces are free from dust, dirt, rust and grease.
Lightly pressure wash decks or exterior
surfaces and ensure that they
are dry before spraying.
Even though HVLP sprayers have very little overspray, it is recommended that you mask all edges and
other areas and use drop cloths to protect your floors and anything else in the spraying area that you
wish to remain untouched.

Filing the Canister
1.Unscrew the Canister.
Stand the canister on a smooth and horizontal surface.
2.Pour the prop erly th
inned and strained material to be sprayed i
nto 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.
<SPRAYING>
Adjust Spray Pattern
The spray pattern shape is adjusted by turni
ng the ears of the air cap to either the vertical, horizontal, or
diagonal position. The position o
f the air cap and the corresponding spray pattern shape are shown below.
Material Flow Adjustment
Set the material volume by turning the regulator on the trigger of the spray gun.
Turn to “+” mark direction increases the flow of liquid and turn to “- “direction decrease the flow of liquid.
For thicker m
aterials, it is recommended that you start with the highest material flow setting and then gradually
decrease the flow to suit your particular spraying needs.
For thinner materials, it is recommended that you start with a low material flow setting and then gradually
increase the flow to suit your particular spraying needs.
Always test the spray pattern on scrap cardboard or similar material first, Beg
in with flow control
knob on highest flow setting. If less flow is desired, dial the flow control knob to decease the flow of liquid.
Heavier, thicker material should be sprayed with the flow control knob on high flow setting. Thinner material
9
should be sprayed with the flow control knob on low flow setting.
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 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
The spray area must be clean and free of dust in order to avoid blowing dust onto your freshly sprayed surface.
Nozzle size pickup
Select right size of nozzle based 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 q
uality of the coating

HOW TO SPRAY PROPERLY
Position the spray gun perpendicular to and 2 or more inches from the spray surface, depending on the spray
pattern size desired
Spray parallel to the surface with smooth passes at a consistent speed as shown below, doing this will avoid
irregularities in the fi
nish. (.i e runs and sags)
Always apply a thin coat of materi
al on the first pass and allow to dry befo re applying a second, slightly heavier
coat.
Keep stroke smooth and at an even speed
Always spray area from a minimum of 50mm (2 inches) to a maximum of 300mm (12 inches). To get an even
spray distribution. Always keep your arm at the same distance from the surface you are spraying and avoid flex
wrist
while spraying
Light coat Heavy coat Light coat
10
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.
When you quit spraying for any length of time, turn the power unit OFF and place the spray gun into the built-in
dock on the power unit.
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.
Avoid spraying too heavily in any one area. Several lighter coats are better than one heavy coat which can
lead to running and dripping. Remember that the flow control knob regulates the amount of liquid that can be
sprayed. If r
uns or drips do occur, have a dry paint brush on hand to smooth them out.
