5. SPRAYING
6. CLEANING
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 - outdoor use only
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 (See Fig.F)
• Position the spray gun perpendicular to and one (1) or more inches from the
spray surface, depending upon the spray pattern size desired.
• Spray parallel to the surface with smooth passes at a consistent speed as
illustrated. Doing this will help avoid irregularities in the finish (i. e. runs and sags).
• Always apply a thin coat of material on the first pass and allow to dry before
applying a second, slightly heavier coat.
• The closer your sprayer is to the object being sprayed the lower the overspray.
• 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.
CLEANING
Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable solvents
(must have a flashpoint above 70°F (21°C):
• Always flush spray gun outside.
• Area must be free of flammable vapors.
• Cleaning area must be well-ventilated.
• DO NOT SUBMERGE Air Compressor !
1. Unplug the spray gun, and trigger the spray gun so that the material inside the
spray gun flows back into the container.
2. Unscrew the container. Empty any remaining material back into the material
container.
3. Pour a small amount of the appropriate cleaning solution into the cup (warm,
soapy water for latex materials; mineral spirits for oil-based materials).
Clean cup and properly dispose of cleaning solution.
4. Refill the cup with NEW cleaning solution.

5. Attach the cup to the gun and plug in the sprayer.
6. Spray the solution through the gun for two seconds in a safe area. Spray again
for two seconds. Unplug the spray gun, and trigger the spray gun so that the
material inside the spray gun flows back into the container.
7. Wipe the exterior of the cup and gun until clean.
8. Unscrew the nut and remove the air cap and nozzle (Fig.G - 1).
9. Clean the container, suction tube, air cap and nozzle with a cleaning brush and
the appropriate cleaning solution.
Never clean nozzle or air holes in the spray gun with sharp metal objects.
Do not use solvents or lubricants containing silicone.
10. Turn both knobs on both sides of the air compressor assembly to the "Unlock"
position, pull and separate the spray gun from the air compressor assembly
(Fig.G - 2).
11. Clean the rear of the spray gun with the appropriate cleaning solution.
Turn the suction tube anti-clockwise and pull the suction tube downward to
disassemble it from the spray gun. Then clean the suction tube with the
appropriate cleaning solution (Fig.G - 3).
Attention! The seal ring between suction tube (part1) and Suction tube (part 2)
must be put back into place after cleaning.
Otherwise, some paint in the container will be sucked into the air duct and
interfere with the function of the unit.
MAINTENANCE
You should inspect the air filter in the air compressor assembly to see if it
is excessively dirty. If it is dirty, follow the steps (See Fig. H) to replace it.
1. Unplug the spray gun. Move off the external filter cover (1) with a tool
(such as a flat screw driver).
2. Move off the inner filter cover (2)
3. Remove the dirty filters (3) and replace with new ones.
