INTRODUCTION HVLP stands for High Volume, Low Pressure. This is a type of spraying that allows you to spray extremely accurately but without all the overspray that occurs with the high pressure tank type equipment. In fact, in some parts of the world the high pressure systems are banned by law on environmental grounds and HVLP type systems are the only alternative for professional type spraying. This gun is extremely easy to use, very safe and reduces the amount of paint used. PLEASE NOTE We hav

PREPARATION Preparation of the surface and thinning of the paint are the two most important areas to be concerned with to obtain the best results from your spray kit. Ensure all surfaces are free from dust, dirt, rust and grease. If necessary rub down with sandpaper, or similar. Masking of areas is important to ensure you do not spray those areas you wish to remain untouched. THINNING Your spray kit is supplied with a viscosity cup. Viscosity is a technical term used to indicate if a product is

Follow the manufacturers guide for thinning in conjunction with a spray gun. If in doubt please contact the manufacturers of the paint. The viscosity cup supplied will help you determine the correct thickness of the paint. Paint is “thinned” by adding the substance which the paint is based upon. If a water based paint then water is added, if oil based then white spirit, if cellulose then a cellulose thinner is added. As some paints, wood preservatives and other sprayable materials contain partic

SPRAY PATTERNS Fig.2 Vertical Jet Horizontal Jet Round Jet The gun has 3 different spray patterns – Horizontal, Vertical and Round (Fig.2) The horizontal and vertical are recommended for large surfaces. The round spray is used for small objects or for areas - such as corners – that are difficult to reach. To adjust the spray pattern, loosen the adjustment ring (9), adjust the position of the air cap (8) to obtain either a vertical, horizontal or round pattern then re-tighten the adjustment ring.

PAINT VOLUME The volume of paint sprayed is easily adjustable. (Fig.3) Fig.3 Completely close adjustment screw (4) by turning this clockwise as far as it will go. Whilst pulling the trigger, begin turning the adjustment screw anti-clockwise until the volume of paint you require is obtained. If the paint spray is too wide or contains too much paint turn the adjustment screw clockwise again. Once the correct spray pattern is obtained you are able to commence spraying. 13

SPRAYING TECHNIQUE 1. To obtain the best results always keep your spray gun level and spray equally from side to side or up or down 25-30cm (10”-12”) from the surface. Avoid spraying at an angle as this will lead to runs on the surface (Fig.4). 2. Let your arm control the left to right movement rather than your wrist as this will aid even paint distribution over the whole area (Fig.4). o 3. Do not tip the sprayer to more than 45 angle. 14

HELPFUL HINTS 1. 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. 2. Only apply one coat at a time. If a further coat is required follow the paint manufacturer’s instructions for drying times. 3. If spraying small areas or objects keep the output setting low as this will avoid excessive use of paints and will minimise overspray. 4. When spraying large areas or objects, it is best to use a criss-cross pattern,

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS THE SPRAY GUN MUST BE THOROUGHLY CLEANED IMMEDIATELY AFTER USE. IF THE PAINT DRIES INSIDE THE GUN, CLEANING WILL BECOME MUCH MORE DIFFICULT AND MAY RENDER THE GUN INOPERABLE. THIS IS NOT COVERED BY GUARANTEE. The spray gun is the same as a paintbrush, if it is not cleaned it will go hard and can become useless. You must therefore clean this out after use.
