•Filling agent 10 - 20 no dilution
•Organic paint 15 - 35 no dilution
•Two- component paint, oil based paint 20 - 35
see the manufacturer instructions
•
•Paint manufactures usually specify the dilute ratio in %: it is usually true for brush and roll-on painting jobs.
paint must be diluted (before diluting the entire paint container, test the dilute ratio with small amount of paint).
Viscosity
•Viscosity is a technical term, telling you how thin or how thick the paint consistency is. In the first case the
viscosity is low and in the other case the viscosity is high.
•Viscosity is measured in seconds.
•Fill the supplied viscosity meter (6) with the paint, as seen on pic. 1 and observe and record how long it
will take for the paint to run out.
•The measured value is the viscosity value expressed in DIN-S.
Paint preparation
•Shake well.

•We recommend to assemble the inner nozzle (81) first, and THEN the needle (85).
•Lubricate the lid nut (76) with small amount of grease. Tighten the loose nut carefully. The needle must
move freely.
7
•Dilute the paint according to the manufacturer instructions.
•If needed, add more paint thinner AND PERFORM TESTING ON A PIECE OF CARDBOARD OR WOOD.
Once you find out the correct consistency of the paint, dilute the entire container accordingly.
Surface preparation for painting
•The best results will be achieved if you CLEAN the surface of the work piece thoroughly before applying
any paint.
•Remove any residue of old paint, rust and dirt from the surface. Use suitable sanding paper.
•Cover dents or scratches with potty compound or sand it with sanding paper if needed.
•Remove dust, dirt and other imperfections from the surface.
•Make sure that no oil or grease stains are present on the surface.
Spraying pistol HVLP
•Place the paint tank (92) on the pistol and secure it in place.
•Connect the hose (2) to the pistol handle (7) as seen on the picture 5.
•To select the required paint spray shape (pic. 6), release the adjusting ring (84) and set the nozzle
position (83): HH = horizontal spraying, VV = vertical spraying, CC = round spraying (pic. 6).
•Seal (80) has four position notches that help you to set the position of the chocking nozzle (83).
The position is fixed in place by the clamp that is protruding upwards from the bottom.
•After you choose the spraying shape, tighten the adjusting ring (84).
•Use the horizontal and vertical settings (HH - VV) when painting large areas. The round or circular shape is
used to paint small objects or to paint in hard-to-reach areas such as corners, edges etc.
Function and use of the multistage centrifugal compressor
•The compressor supplies the compressed air that is necessary to operate your tool.
•The air travels through the chocking nozzle (83). The paint is sprayed out only if you press the trigger (77).

The diffuser may be adjusted easily. See picture 3.
•Close the adjusting screw (71) completely, by turning it to the right.
•Press the trigger (77) and slowly open the paint supply screw (71) until the amount of the paint is correct.
•Move the spray pistol continuously and keep CONSTANT DISTANCE from the painted surface. About
10 - 30 cm based on the paint setting. It is also necessary to move the pistol along the painted area
parallel to each other.
•Warning: Never use circular motion during painting. The quality of the coat is reduced significantly.
(See pic. 7).
•At the end of each spray motion release the trigger (77) and press it again at the beginning of the next
motion. That way the borders of each painted path will melt together and will not be seen. This is very
important when painting large areas. (See pic. 8).
•The spray motion must be horizontal if you use spraying shape VV (pic. 6) and vertical if you use spraying
shape HH. (Also pic. 6).
•If you use the (CC) shape, keep the pistol at greater distance from the painted surface.
ALWAYS PERFORM TEST PAINTING ON A PIECE OF CARDBOARD OR WOOD BEFORE ACTUAL PAINTING.
Additional use of the multistage centrifugal compressor.
