WARNING! Read all instructions Failure to follow all instructions
listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
The term “power tool” in all of the warnings listed below refers
to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
1) Work area
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas
invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a
power tool. Distractions can 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.
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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in
accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from
intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5) Battery tool use and care
a) Ensure the switch is in the off position before inserting
battery pack. Inserting the battery pack into power tools that
have the switch on invites accidents.
b) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
c) Use power tools only with specifically designated battery
packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a risk of
injury and fire.
d) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from other
metal objects like paper clips, keys, nails, screws, or
other metal objects that can make a connection from one
terminal to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fire.
e) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from the
battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, flush
with water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally seek
medical help. Liquid ejected from the battery may cause
irritation or burns.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
c) Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off-position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in 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 these devices can
reduce dust-related hazards.

Warning!
Be sure to use appropriate protective gear and unplug unit.
Warning!
Make sure area is well ventilated andfree of flammable vapors.
Aligning the pickup tube (Fig. 1)
The pickup tube (15) needs to be aligned in the direction toward the
front of the canister ( Fig. 1).
This will ensure you spray as much material as possible before you
need to refill.
Make sure the pickup tube is assembled tight in place.
Attaching spray unit to spray gun handle (Fig.2)
Align the marking line on the spray unit with the icon of unlock, then
rotate the spray gun handle clockwise until stop. Rotate the quick
release lock (19) and snap onto the hook on the edge of canister lid.
Liquid material preparation (Fig. 4)
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 higher tan 60°C (140°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 and fill the cup
completely.
• 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 ( 70
seconds or less) . This is the “runout time”. Refer to the thinning
table for information on the thinning required for different materials.
• If material needs thinning, add the appropriate liquid, thinning
material recommended by the manufacturer (Fig. 4).
• It is possible to spray latex paint with this unit, however, the
required thinning may exceed material manufacturer’s recommen-
dation. Thin latex paint so that it runs through viscosity cup within
70 seconds . The operator should consider the type of application
and final location of the project when spraying a material that
requires more than 70 seconds to run through the viscosity cup.
• Unscrew the quick refill lid (12)
CAUTION! Danger of injury! Never point the spray gun at
yourself or other persons or animals.
EXPLANATION OF THE SYSTEM
The device works according to low pressure spraying technique.
A high volume of air surrounds 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. Moreover, the air flow shortens the
drying time for the coating material. This gives perfect spraying
result with a respective saving of coating material and is
therefore good for the environment.

OPERATION SMART SELECT NOZZLE SELECTION (Fig. 7)
There are three spray patterns to choose from:
- Vertical Flat Jet
- Horizontal Flat Jet
- Circular Jet
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 CANISTER (FIG. 5)
• Check to make sure that the canister is completely screwed
onto the sprayer.
• Unscrew the quick refill lid (12)
• Stand the sprayer firmly on an smooth and
horizontal surface
• Pour the properly thinned and strained
material to be sprayed into the canister (Fig. 5).
• Clean any residual liquid from the threads or
sides of the canister and sprayer.
• 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.

DEVELOPING THE PROPER SPRAYING
TECHNIQUE
• Practice spraying on a piece of scrap material such as cardboard to
test your spray pattern and become familiar with the flow control
feature of the sprayer.
• Ensure surface to be sprayed is free of dust, dirt, and grease.
• Ensure spray area is clean and free of dust that could be blown
onto newly sprayed surfaces.
• Cover any areas not intended to be sprayed.
• Always spray from a minimum of 50mm to a maximum of 300mm
(Fig. 9).
• 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 (Fig. 11).
• To get an even spray distribution, always keep your arm at the
same distance (Fig. 9) from the surface you are spraying and avoid
moving your wrist (Fig. 10).
• Maintain smooth and consistent speed which will help avoid
inconsistencies. Begin spraying after the pass has begun and
release trigger before stopping the pass.
• 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. Turning the flow knob
clockwise increases the flow of liquid. Turning the knob
counterclockwise decreases the flow of liquid. If runs or drips do
occur, have a dry paint brush on hand to smooth them out.
• Turn the power unit off and unlpug the cord when not spraying for
any length of time.
MAINTENANCE
Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the power unit. Never let
any liquid get inside the power unit; never immerse any part of the
power unit into a liquid.
Important! To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs,
maintenance and adjustment (other than those listed in this manual)
should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified
service personnel, always using identical replacement parts.
The power unit contains A washable / reusable flter (22). Check the
flter before and after each use. If dirty, wash with warm water
and allow to air dry before re-installing or replace if necessary. (Fig.
20)
• To check the filter, Unscrew the screws on back of the filter cover
(23) and remove the filter cover(23).
Remove the filter as shown in Fig.20 and inspect. Reassemble the
flter and flter cover.
Important! Never operate the power unit without the filter in place.
Debris could be sucked in and interfere with the function of the power
unit.
DEVELOPING THE PROPER SPRAYING
TECHNIQUE
• Do not use materials with a flashpoint higher than 60°C ( 140°F) .
Flashpoint is the temperature that a fluid can produce enough
vapors to ignite (see coating supplier).
• Make sure clean up area is well ventilated and free of flammable
vapors.
• Always spray outdoors when spraying cleaning solution through
sprayer.
• Do not submerse power unit.
• 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.
• To begin cleaning:
• Turn the power unit off, unplug the cord and disconnect air hose
from sprayer.
• Unscrew the canister from the sprayer and pour any remaining
liquid back into the original container (Fig. 12).
• Pour a small amount of the appropriate cleaning solution into the
canister (Fig. 13).
- Warm soapy water for water based materials
- Manufacturers recommended cleaning solution for oil based
materials
• Screw on the canister back to the sprayer securely and vigorously
shake the sprayer.
• Unscrew the canister and properly dispose ofcleaning solution.
• Refill the canister with a small amount of new cleaning solution
(Fig. 13). Screw on the canister back the sprayer.Reattach the
spray gun unit to the power unit, plug in the cord and turn on the
power unit.
• Spray the cleaning solution through the sprayer onto scrap material
for 2 to 3 seconds (Fig. 14).
• Turn the power unit off, and unplug the cord.
• Unscrew the canister from the sprayer.
• Remove the o-ring (14), pickup tube (15), check valve (16), and
quick refill lid (12) from the sprayer. Clean the parts with the
cleaning brush in the appropriate cleaning solution (Fig. 15).
Note: When removing the check valve, twist the check valve
clockwise and then pull it out.(Fig. 15)
• Unscrew the tip collar (4) and remove all the parts of the spray
nozzle(3,4,5,6,7,8) from the sprayer.
Remove the spray tip(9) from the sprayer ( Fig. 16). Clean all parts
with the cleaning brush in the appropriate cleaning solution (Fig. 16).
Be sure to clean around check valve with brush (Fig. 16 insert).
• If using water based material, clean the sprayer by running water
through pickup tube inlet as shown in Fig. 17. If using oil based
materials, clean pickup tube inlet with the appropriate cleaning
solution.
Repeat until sprayer is completely clean.
• Dry all parts thoroughly.
• Properly dispose of cleaning solution.
• Place a drop of household oil into the inside of the sprayer from the
hole for assembling the spray tip (Fig. 18).
• Reassemble sprayer (Fig. 19).
Note: Spray nozzle can only be assembled in one direction that the
notch of the nozzle(6) must align with the skirt on spray unit
housing(10). Refer to Fig. 19 for proper assembly.
Note: The spray tip must be assembled in the sprayer with the
bumps on the spray tip in vertical direction
Note: Assemble the pickup tube(15) and check valve (16) by firmly
pushing them onto the inlet on the sprayer.

FLOW CONTROL KNOB (Fig. 8)
The flow control knob (18 ) regulates the amount of liquid that
can be sprayed. Turning the flow knob clockwise increases the
flow of liquid. Turning the knob counter anti-clockwise
decreases the flow of liquid.
Tip: Always test the spray pattern on scrap cardboard or similar
material first. Begin with flow control knob on the highest flow
setting. If less flow is desired, dial the flow control knob
anticlockwise to decrease the flow of liquid. Heavier, thicker
materials should be sprayed with the flow control knob on high
flow setting. Thinner materials should be sprayed with the flow
control knob on low flow setting.
