ELECTRICAL SAFETY
This tool is double insulated; therefore
no earth wire is required. Always check
that the power supply corresponds to the voltage
on the rating plate.
►If the supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or an
authorized Service Centre in order to avoid a
hazad.
►When using the tool outdoors, only use
extension cables intended for outdoor use. A
suitable rated extension cable of up to 30
metres can be used without loss of power
►Electric safety can be further improved by
using a high sensitivity.
EXTENSION CORD
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 would be appropriate for outdoor use.
For proper size cords see chart guide for
extension cord usage.

MATERIAL PREPARATION
Liquid material preparation tips
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.
►Before measuring for the proper
viscosity, stir the material thoroughly.
►Dip the viscosity cup into the material being
sprayed andfill the cup completely.
►With the cup held over the material
container, measure the amount of time it
takes for the 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 for information on the
thinning required for different materials.

Latex paint
Follow manufacture’s
recommendations

►If material needs thinning, add the appropriate
liquid thinning material recommended by the
manufacturer.
►It is possible to spray latex paint with this unit,
however, the required thinning may exceed
material manufacturer’s recommendation. Thin
latex paint sothat it runsthrough viscosity cup
within 150 seconds. 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.
OPERATION
Preparation tips
►Always stir and strain the material thoroughly
before use.
►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.
►Skin that forms on the top of paint can clog the
sprayer. Remove skin before mixing. Strain
with a funnel with a filter attached or through
hosiery to remove any impurities that could
clog system.
►Before starting have gloves, paper towels, rags
etc. available for unexpected spills.
FILLING THE CONTAINER
►Unscrew the Container
►Stand the container on a smooth and horizontal
surface.
►Pour the properly thinned and strained material
to be sprayed into the container
►Clean any residual liquid from the threads or
sides of the container and sprayer.
►Starting the threads evenly, screw the lid,
completely onto the top fill container. Check the
lid to make sure it is threaded on squarely and
completely before picking up the sprayer.
ADJUST SPRAY PATTERN
The spray pattern shape is adjusted by turning
the ears of the air cap to either the vertical,
horizontal, or diagonal position. The position of
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 increase the flow of
liquid and turn to “-“ direction decrease the flow
of liquid.
Tips:
Always test the spray pattern on scrap
cardboard or similar material first, Begin
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 should be sprayed with the
flow control knob on low flow setting.
For beginners, in order to get consistent paint
flow, It’s better practice to pull trigger all the
way till material flow adjustable knob rest
against housing.
PRESSURE CONTROL DIAL
The pressure control dial adjusts the level of
air pressure produced by the power unit. For
thinner materials, (low viscosity), use lower
pressure setting. For thicker materials (higher
viscosity), use a higher pressure setting.
If you have too much overspray, decrease the
pressure 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.
HOW TO SPRAY PROPERLY
1. Position the spray gun perpendicular to and 2
or more inches from the spray surface.
depending on the spray pattern size desired
2. Spray parallel to the surface with smooth
passes at a consistent speed as shown
below. Doing this will avoid irregularities in
the finish. (.i.e runs and sags)
3. Always apply a thin coat of material on the
first pass and allow to dry before applying a
second. Slightly heavier coat.
Keep stroke smooth and at an even speed.
4. 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
5. 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.
6. A commonly used methodfor 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 runs or
drips do occur, have a dry paint brush on hand
to smooth them out.
CLEANUP
Before you begin:
When cleaning, use the appropriate cleaning
solution (warm, soapy water for latex materials;
mineral sprits for oil-based material).
