Please read these instructions carefully
before using the equipment
EARTHING
This appliance must be earthed. If it should malfunction or break down, earthing
provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. This appliance is equipped with a cord having an equipment- earthing
conductor and earthed plug. The plug must be inserted into an appropriate outlet that
is properly installed and earthed in accordance with all local codes and legislation.
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Improper connection of the equipment grounding conductor can result in the
risk of electric shock.
+ Check with a qualied electrician or service person if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded.
+ Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade earthing plug and a
3-slot receptacle that accepts the plug on the product.
+ An undersized cord results in a drop in line voltage and loss of power
and overheating.
+ Do not modify the plug provided with the appliance. If it will not t the outlet,
have a proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.
+ To reduce the risk of electric shock or injury, do not expose to rain.
+ Never allow unit to freeze.
+ Always store the unit inside in a dry location. Store on the oor if in a
basement setting.
+ The operator must wear shoes and the oor must not be wet.

FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD
This QTech HVLP Turbine must not be used in an area contaminated by volatile
or flammable materials since sparking can be expected in the normal operation
of the motor. This could ignite the contaminants causing a dangerous explosion.
+ Do not spray ammable or combustible materials near an open ame or
sources of ignition such as cigarettes, motors, and electrical equipment.
+ Keep spray area well-ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving
through the area. Keep turbine in a well ventilated area.
+ Do not spray turbine.
+ Turn off and disconnect power cord before servicing equipment.
+ Do not smoke in the spray area.
+ Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products
in the spray area.
+ Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other
ammable materials.
+ Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.
+ Sprayer generates sparks. When ammable liquid is used in or near the sprayer
or for ushing or cleaning, keep sprayer at least 6 m away from explosive
vapours or spraying area.
+ Ensure ground prongs are intact on sprayer and extension cords.
+ Always disconnect unit from main supply when lling the paint container.
+ Never use 1,1,1-trichloroethane, methylene chloride, other halogenated
hydrocarbon solvents or uids containing such solvents in equipment with
aluminum wetted parts. Such use could result in a serious chemical reaction,
with the possibility of explosion. Consult your uid suppliers to ensure that the
uids being used are compatible with aluminum parts.

TOXIC FLUID OR FUMES HAZARD
Toxic uids or fumes can cause serious injury or death if splashed in the eyes or
on skin, inhaled, or swallowed.
+ Read MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) to know the specic hazards of the
uids you are using.
+ Always wear appropriate gloves and eye protection
+ Always wear a respirator or mask. Read all instructions of the respirator or
mask to ensure that it will provide the necessary protection against the
inhalation of harmful vapors. Please also check with the local jurisdiction.
+ Paint, solvents, insecticides and other materials may be harmful if inhaled.
+ Store hazardous uid in approved containers, and dispose of it according
to applicable guideline.
+ Do not stop or deect uid leaks with your hand or body.

GETTING STARTED
NOTE
Throughout this manual we have used the generic word ‘Paint’ to describe all and
any coatings. Please substitute the word ‘Paint’ for whatever nish or coating you
are spraying.
Your QTech HVLP Gun has been adjusted at the factory and is ready for spraying.
To clean out any impurities that may have accumulated during assembly or
shipping, we recommend spraying a small quantity of clean paint thinner through
the gun. Before tackling any serious spraying, experiment with the gun on a scrap
piece of wood until you become familiar with all the controls.
HOSE CONNECTION
Connect the hex nut at the end of the hose (female connector) to the turbine air
outlet. Tighten this nut lightly. Overturning could cause the internal manifold to
rotate and break the internal seal to the motor. A Male Quick Connect Coupling
10-2010 is available as an accessory for the connection to the turbine.
AIR CONTROL VALVE
The Air Control Valve 10-2003 is located on the hose next to the brass quick-connect.
It provides you with a means of controlling the air flow through the gun. It offers
fingertip control when needed to reduce bounce back and overspray. It is important to
remember that the air control valve - is the ‘last in the chain’ of operations after:
1Thinning the paint
2Adjusting the shape and size of the spray pattern
3Adjusting the ow of paint through the gun
After performing these operations, you should spray a few passes onto a scrap
piece of plywood or cardboard. This will allow you to determine if the paint levels
nicely. Once the Gun is producing a perfect nish with full air, you may then
experiment with turning the air down until bounce back is reduced to a minimum.
However, if orange-peel results, you have no option but to turn the air up again a
slight amount.
PLASTIC DIAPHRAGM
The 1 litre pressurised suction cup has a Plastic Diaphragm 10-2005 (not found in
the gravity spray gun). This diaphragm prevents paint from entering the Pressure
Tube 10-2000. The small air hole in the diaphragm should not be placed directly
below the air hole in the nipple. Position the diaphragm hole to the rear of the cup.
The spray gun can be turned to different angles when spraying but never beyond
horizontal.

CHANGING THE SHAPE OF THE FAN
1Loosen the Collar 10-2080. Turn the Air Cap to the horizontal position then
re-tighten the collar to lock it into place. This setting produces a vertical spray
pattern. This pattern is used more than any other by experienced spray painters.
2Setting the air cap in a vertical position produces a horizontal spray pattern.
To lock it in position, tighten the collar. The horizontal fan pattern is the most
useful for painting vertically such as a doorframe.
CHANGING THE SIZE OF THE FAN
To produce a smaller fan pattern, turn the Pattern Control Knob counter clockwise.
Because the spray pattern size is now much smaller, you must turn down the
amount of paint spraying through the nozzle at the Fluid Adjusting Knob 10-2093
(rear of gun). If you do not do this, you will get runs.
To set the uid output, simply turn the uid adjusting knob counter-clockwise for
more ‘paint’ and clockwise for less. Once you set the uid to your liking, you can
leave it in this position - unless of course, you change the size of the fan pattern.
For the very smallest pattern (less than 1”), you must move the gun closer to the
workpiece - but don’t forget to reduce the amount of paint at the uid
adjusting knob.

SPRAYING TECHNIQUES
The spray gun should be held perpendicular to the surface at all times. HOLD THE
GUN NO MORE THAN 8” (20cm) AWAY FROM THE SURFACE TO BE PAINTED.
CORRECT METHOD
Start off the piece. Pull the trigger and move the spray gun in the direction you
want to spray. Continue off the edge of the piece on the other end before releasing
the trigger. Between each successive pass, overlap by about a half.
INCORRECT METHOD
CAUTION | Never, for any reason, point the spray gun directly at the face,
or head of a person.

VISCOSITY GUIDE
A Viscosity Cup (Ford #4 Standard) is included with your QTech system. To test
the viscosity of the paint material, ll the viscosity cup to the brim and time how
long it takes for the liquid to empty out through the hole. We recommend you
experiment to nd the ideal viscosity for your application and record the
information for the next time.
Always check with the manufacturer of the coating for assistance in thinning
for spraying. If their product is only designed to be brushed, they may not be too
helpful. But remember that any type of coating can be sprayed if it is thinned
correctly (with the appropriate solvent) and you have installed the ideal aircap set.
The chart below illustrates how many SECONDS it should take for the
material to ow out of the viscosity cup. This is only an approximate guide.
We suggest thinning around 25% to begin with but this may contravene the air
quality control laws for your location. The solvent used for thinning is usually the
solvent mentioned on the can (instructions for ‘cleaning the brushes’). However,
please check with the coatings manufacturer. The aim is to thin as little as possible.
HVLP spraying is more friendly to the environment than most methods of spraying.
It reduces appreciably the amount of unnecessary misting and fogging (overspray)
associated with high-pressure spraying. Spraying with Nitrocellulose lacquer can be
hazardous. The lacquer, fumes and overspray are toxic, ammable and
explosive. If spraying must be done inside an enclosed area, ventilate well.
Spray close to an open window or door and situate a fan to draw out the fumes
(an explosion-proof motor and explosion-proof lighting will be necessary).
Please check with the Local Authority having jurisdiction on this matter.

A WORD ABOUT LATEX
Although Latex Paint was never originally intended to be sprayed, a professional
nish can be achieved by following a few simple rules. (Please do not confuse latex
with the newer water-based coatings). For work such as cabinetry or trim, our
equipment can be used successfully with latex paint. The latex will have to be
thinned with WATER - approximately 10-30% depending on the brand of
paint. And to improve the nish even more, you can use an additive that will slow
down the drying process so that the paint levels out nicely. One product available
is Floetrol from the Flood Company in Ohio. Call 0845-0618899 for further
information.
The recommended air cap size setup is either the 1.5mm or 1.8mm for household
trim, louver doors etc. The latex paint should be ‘nish-quality’ and not a
cheaper grade.
When spraying latex, please adjust the Fluid Knob 10-2093 to limit the paint to a
ner spray. This will increase the ratio of air to paint and result in better
atomization and a beautiful nish. (Factually speaking, it doesn’t increase the ratio
of air to paint but does the opposite - it allows the air atomizing power to work on
less paint thereby improving the quality of atomization). Also, it is usually helpful
to remove the air control valve so that more air passes through the spray gun.
Finally, adjust the pattern to a maximum size of 8” - 9” (20cm) - smaller is ok.
Apply a wet coating (wet like a lake).
Although it is possible to use our equipment for house painting (walls), and many
end users do, we feel that an airless gun or power roller is better suited for that kind
of job. However, if you decide to do this kind of work, you will need the 2.0mm or
2.5mm air cap set.
Remember, when you buy a can of paint, lacquer, polyurethane, varnish etc. over
the counter, it will most likely be formulated for brushing. That means, it will be too
viscous (thick) and will require thinning to spray successfully. This is true even
when spraying is mentioned on the label of the can. Check with the manufacturer
of the coating to obtain advice on thinning their product. Unfortunately, sometimes
you may encounter Technical Sales Personnel that have very little experience or
knowledge about HVLP Turbine spraying.

GENERAL CLEANING
To clean the gun after each use, empty all paint from the cup. Use a solvent-soaked
rag to clean the residue in the cup. Then, spray some clean solvent through the gun
into a clean rag (to avoid lling the room with unnecessary spray) or a bucket.
Repeat until the inside of the uid passages in the gun, metal uid tube etc are
clean. Use the wet rag to wipe off the air cap and tip of the uid nozzle.
The air cap can be soaked in thinner.
If this type of cleaning is done while the paint is still wet in the gun, it should be
all that is necessary to keep the gun clean enough for next time. Do not leave
liquids in the cup overnight or for long periods.
Do not restrict the uid nozzle when cleaning (by putting your nger over the
nozzle orice) - this will drive thinned paint up the pressure tube and into the spray
gun which is undesirable.
PLEASE DO NOT USE A WIRE BRUSH OR ANYTHING METAL TO CLEAN THE
GUN OR CUP AS THIS WILL CAUSE DAMAGE.
DO NOT disassemble the cup assembly - threads in your cup have been sealed
at the factory to prevent leakage under pressure.
The standard 1 quart (1000cc) cup can be used with most coatings (including
water-based). Also available as an accessory is our Teon Coated Cup 10-2008.
CAUTION | Never soak the complete spray gun in solvent as this removes the
grease from the parts and distributes thinned paints throughout the air passages.
It could also damage internal parts such as the spindle valve or valve seals.
It may sometimes be necessary to soak the air cap, nozzle, needle, air diffuser and
air divider. You may soak only the metal parts in solvent and clean with a soft
bristle cleaning brush. To reassemble, first oil or grease all moving and threaded
parts.
CAUTION | Do not lay the gun down on its side with liquid material in it.
When not in use the cup lid should not be clamped down hard as this will
cause the gasket to atten out.

CLEANING FLUID PASSAGES
To clean, ush solvent through the spray gun while the paint is still wet inside
the gun. If this type of quick cleaning is performed frequently, the spray gun will
function well for many years. 99% of problems with a spray gun stem from clogs in
the uid passages and (perhaps more important), the pressure tube air passages.
See page 16 - NO PAINT (OR VERY LITTLE PAINT).
CLEANING BEHIND THE FLUID NOZZLE
Remove the Collar 10-2080 and Aircap . Using the supplied wrench, remove the
Fluid Nozzle. Once the uid nozzle is removed please be careful that the Air
Diffuser 10-2081 does not fall out of the gun. Use the cleaning brush and
appropriate solvent to clean behind the uid nozzle. The air cap, uid nozzle,
needle, air diffuser and air divider may be soaked in solvent. To remove the needle,
remove the Fluid Knob 10-2093, Spring 10-2092 from the rear of the gun.
The needle can then be soaked and later wiped clean.
When reinstalling the air diffuser, note that there is a locating pin on the back side.
This pin must be located into the matching hole in the Air Divider 10-2084.
PLEASE DO NOT SOAK THE WHOLE GUN IN ANY LIQUID.
THIS IS NEVER NECESSARY OR ADVISABLE.
CLOGGED GUN - THE FLUID COUPLER
If the Fluid Coupler is clogged with dried paint it must be cleaned while in place in
the gun. The uid coupler should not be removed. Remove the cup assembly by
loosening the nut. Use the supplied cleaning brush to unclog the inside of the uid
coupler using solvent. Replace the cup. Before tightening, position the cup to the
preferred position and tighten the nut.
QTech HVLP Turbine
14
ACHIEVING THE DESIRED FINISH
ORANGE PEEL
If the nish is rough and resembles orange peel then the material is too thick.
(Or perhaps you have the air control valve turned down - please check that it is
fully open). The ‘paint’ will not atomize properly and the surface will be spotty.
To remedy this, add more thinner (or appropriate solvent). For fast drying products
such as lacquers, you may also want to add a lacquer retarder. This will slow the
drying time allowing the material to ow out and level nicely.
Retarders are available for other coatings too, such as Penetrol for oil-based paints
or Floetrol for latex house paints. These products go under different names such as
ow-out additives etc. Please check with the coatings manufacturer.
NOTE
With the newer water-based materials ‘orange peel’ is usually a result of spraying
on too thick a lm. Try spraying an extremely THIN FILM, but still WET coat.
With most other coatings, orange peel is caused by material being too thick or not
enough atomizing power. This is why we suggest leaving the air control valve fully
open when experimenting with a new coating material, otherwise it will cause
confusion. If the air control valve is fully open (or perhaps removed for latex spraying)
then orange peel can only be one cause - the material is too thick and must be thinned.
GRITTY FINISH
If the material is too thin, it is likely to run or be over-atomized, producing a rough
gritty nish. Try thinning the product less and spraying a wetter coat.
FISH EYES
If you are renishing furniture or pianos, sh eyes could become a problem. The
cause is usually silicone or oil from polish which has been liqueed by the paint
stripper that has now soaked into the bare wood. This silicone prevents the lacquer
from adhering to the wood. One way to sometimes correct this is to seal in the
silicone by misting on two or three light coats of lacquer. Then spray on a regular
wet coat. We do not recommend the use of a product known as ‘Fish-Eye Drops’
which is essentially liquid silicone. Silicone will only contaminate the gun even
further. Anything that comes into contact with the silicone becomes contaminated
- such as; rags, aprons, bench tops, gloves.

SPRAY GUN USER GUIDE
NO PAINT (OR VERY LITTLE PAINT)
The air passing through the Pressure Tube 10-2000/10-2001 to pressurize the cup
is blocked. This means that either the tube itself, the check valve, or one of the two
nipples are blocked. A pipe cleaner can be used for cleaning the hole in the nipple.
+Pressurizing tube and/or nipples are blocked - COMMON
+The cup is not tightened down sufciently or the cup lid gasket is worn and
leaking air
+The cup is empty
+The metal uid tube is blocked with paint - RARE
+The uid coupler is blocked with paint - RARE
UNEVEN SPRAY PATTERN
One of the holes in the air cap may be blocked. Or, the paint could be dirty and
is partially blocking the uid nozzle. Remove the air cap and clean by soaking in
solvent and using the soft bristle brush or a rag. NEVER use metal objects to clean
holes in the air cap.
LEAKAGE
If paint material comes out of the uid nozzle without pulling the trigger.
+The needle is not seating in the uid nozzle properly
+The needle packing may be too tight preventing the needle from moving -
see page 18 needle packing
+Foreign matter trapped between needle and uid nozzle
+The needle or uid nozzle could be damaged or worn
+Loose uid nozzle
+Wrong uid nozzle size installed
CUP LEAKS
+Oil above and below the lever to smooth the lever action
+Change gasket/diaphragm
+Leak around nipple - use Loctite to seal
+Leak around side pins - use Loctite to seal
+Leak through lid - remove nut under lid - use Loctite

LEAKAGE FROM THE NOZZLE
This occurs when the Needle Packing Nut 10-2086 is too tight compressing the
Needle Packing 10-2085 too tightly around the needle.
Half ll the cup with water. Attach the gun to the hose and turn on the turbine
blower to pressurize the cup. Pull the trigger and release. Check the nozzle for
water spurting out.
Use the supplied wrench to GENTLY loosen the nut (1 or 2 degrees only at a time).
This is a very sensitive adjustment. Again pull the trigger and release. Wipe away
the water in between adjustments. Repeat until no water is seen at the nozzle hole.
LEAKAGE FROM THE NEEDLE PACKING NUT
This occurs when the needle packing nut is too loose.
Half ll the cup with water. Attach the gun to the hose and turn on the turbine
blower to pressurize the cup. Use the supplied wrench to GENTLY tighten the
needle packing nut 1 or 2 degrees only. This is a very sensitive adjustment. Wipe
away the water in between adjustments. Repeat until no water is seen where the
needle passes through the Needle Packing Nut 10-2086.
It is a good idea to apply light machine oil or Vaseline to the needle shaft where
it passes through the needle packing nut and work it in and out by pulling the
trigger back and forth. This will lubricate the Needle Packing 10-2085.

TURBINE CARE & MAINTENANCE
FILTERS
It is important to clean or replace the lters regularly. Operating the turbine unit
with clogged or dirty lters will cause the turbine to overheat and result in premature
failure. QTech HVLP Turbines have either one or two lters. To remove, simply pull
the lters out from lter enclosure. Wash in warm soapy water and dry before
replacing.
All QTech lters are a friction t. The lter must ll the entire lter enclosure.
Cleaning your lters regularly is essential to maintaining your QTech HVLP
Turbine. It is always a good idea to have a spare pair of lters on hand.
Re-order number for lter: 10-2049 (pack 2)
IMPORTANT NOTE
All QTech HVLP Turbines are designed for intermittent use. When taking a
break between coats or stepping aside to rell your cup, it’s good practice to turn the
machine off during this time. This allows it to cool off.
When spraying, always ensure that the turbine unit is at least 5.0m (15 feet)
away from spray project and in a well ventilated area. This will prevent any
overspray or debris being ingested into the turbine. Failure to do this may cause
the lters to clog, resulting in damage to the internal motor.
It is a good idea to make use of the Turbine Wireless Remote 10-2018 (110 volt
only). This device allows you to turn the turbine unit on/off at your convenience
without having to walk back and forth to the turbine.
If you experience a problem with your turbine unit, please DO NOT try to open
and service the turbine yourself. Contact your approved dealer or Aristospray for
technical assistance. If it is an issue of no power, check your power outlet. Also,

GUN HOLDER & HANDLE BAR
GUN HOLDER INSTALLATION
The two holes on the top of the holder require the two machine screws and
washers. These screws t into threaded inserts in the metal case.
Do not over tighten - snug is ne.
The single silver-colored screw must be installed to the single hole on the
side of the gun holder. Once again, please do not over tighten this screw -
snug is ne.
If you do not intend on using the gun holder you may insert the appropriate
screws (as mentioned above) to block the holes.
TURBINE HANDLE BAR INSTALLATION
Included in the box is an Allen key with four black screws and handle bar.
Carefully position and align the handle bar over the four holes - two on each side
of the turbine case. Using the Allen key, secure the screws through the handle bar
onto the turbine case.
GUN HOLDER USE
Place the Hose Connector (base of the gun handle) over the shaft of the gun holder
as shown in above illustration. Please ensure it is fully set down to the base of the
shaft. The spray gun will now sit stationary. The gun can be left on the holder for
any length of time. It is a convenient resting place between spraying and ideal for
lling the gravity cup.
