to power this tool. do not use
oxygen, carbon dioxide,
combustible gases, or any
other bottled gas as a power
source for this tool.
note: Air flow, and therefore tool perfor-
mance, can be hindered by under-
sized air supply components.
3. The air hose must be long enough
to reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement
while working.
4. Make sure the tool’s trigger is in the
off position; refer to Operation section
for description of controls.
5. Close the in-line safety valve be-
tween the compressor and the tool.
6. Turn on the air compressor according
to the manufacturer’s directions and
allow it to build up pressure until it
cycles off.
7. Adjust the air compressor’s output
regulator so that the air output is
enough to properly power the tool,
but the output will not exceed the
tool’s maximum air pressure at any
time. Adjust the pressure gradually,
while checking the air output gauge
to set the right pressure range.
1. Incorporate a shut-off valve, regula-
tor with pressure gauge, and filter
for best service, as shown in the
diagram above. an in-line shutoff
valve is an important safety device
because it controls the air supply
even if the air hose is ruptured.
8. Inspect the air connections for leaks.
Repair any leaks found.
2. Attach an air hose to the compres-
sor’s air outlet. Connect the air hose
to the air inlet of the tool. Other com-
ponents, such as a connector and
quick coupler, will make operation
more efficient, but are not required.
9. If the tool will not be used at this
time, turn off and detach the air sup-
ply, safely discharge any residual air
pressure, and release the throttle
and/or turn the trigger to its off posi-
tion to prevent accidental operation.

spray guns differ from airless spray-
ers that are fluid powered.
5. Airless sprayers use a fluid pump to
force the paint through the gun to the
spray cap. The fluid pressure at the
cap atomizes the paint causing the
spray.
OPeratinG inStructiOnS
6. Airless sprayers do not require an air
compressor to operate as do HVLP
and conventional sprayers. However,
since the paint is pumped under pres-
sure through the gun, airless spray-
ers are more difficult to clean and
maintain than HVLP sprayers.

are found, do not use tool until

7. If you have compressed air available,
HVLP spray guns will provide a better
finish with less paint waste and less
required maintenance that conven-
tional or airless sprayers.
understanding HVLP
1. HVLP Spray Guns are different from
conventional spray guns and airless
sprayers.
2. HVLP stands for High Volume Low
Pressure. This means that HVLP
guns will spray a larger amount of
paint at lower Cap Pressure than
conventional air powered spray guns.
3. Cap Pressure is the amount of air
pressure present at the Spray Cap
(1). Lower pressure results in less
paint being air dried between the
gun and the work surface, and less
bounce back from the work surface.
You will achieve a smoother painted
surface with less waste and over-
spray than with a conventional air
powered spray gun.

do not adjust or tamper with
any control or component in a
way not specifically explained
within this manual. improper
adjustment can result in
tool failure or other serious
hazards.
Prepare the paint
1. Due to the high viscosity of latex and
most water based paints, they are not
generally recommended for HVLP
painting. Check with the paint manu-
facturer for specifics.
1. This tool is treated with anti-corrosive
compounds at the factory. Flush it out
thoroughly with paint thinner before
first use.
2. In most cases, the paint must be
thinned for spraying. Only use the
thinner recommended by the paint
manufacturer. If the paint is too thick,
you will get a thick, orange-peel fin-
ish, and the sprayer may clog. If the
paint is too thin, you will get poor cov-
erage, drips and runs, and excessive
drying of the paint in the air.
2. Before using check all fasteners and
air connections to be sure they are
tight.
3. To avoid contamination, blow out
the air line before connecting to the
Spray Gun.
Work Piece and
Work area Set up
3. Proper thinning varies with the mate-
rial being used and local temperature
and humidity. In most cases, thinning
will be approximately 10% and not
more than 30%.
1. Designate a work area that is clean
and well-lit. The work area must not
allow access by children or pets to
prevent injury and distraction.

to have a vertical fan. When spraying
up and down, have the Air Cap turned
vertically to have a horizontal fan.
2. Air pressure can be fine adjusted us-
ing the Air Adjustment Valve (31). Air
pressure too high will cause splatter-
ing, too low will cause drizzling.

by turning the Spray Regulator (20).
Turning the knob counterclockwise
will open and flatten the pattern.
Turning it clockwise will close the pat-
tern making it more round.

6. While the paint is wet, before it has
dried, you can thin or clean away the
paint using a thinner.
understanding
Paint thinners and Solvents
1. Understand the difference between a
paint “thinner” and a paint “solvent”. A
thinner is used to thin the paint while
it is wet. A solvent is used to dissolve
the paint after it has dried.
7. Once the paint has dried, in most
cases the thinner can no longer be
used. You must then use a solvent to
remove the paint.
8. Cleaning the paint before it dries,
using a thinner, is much easier than
cleaning the paint after it dries using
a solvent.

Painting technique
with this HPLV Sprayer
Alcohol
Alcohol
1. Your goal in painting with this sprayer
is to get good coverage of the work
piece. You want an even coat with-
out drips or runs and with a smooth
surface.
2. There are basically three types of
paint: evaporative, chemical and
coagulating.
3. Evaporative paints cure when the
solvent evaporates. These are quick
drying paints, including lacquer and
shellac.
2. To get an even coat, hold the spray
gun 6 to 8 inches away from the work
surface. Keep the distance of your
gun from the project, as consistent as
possible.
4. Chemical paints cure when there is
a chemical reaction solidifying the
paint, as the solvent evaporates. Oil-
based paint and varnish are of this
type. They are relatively slow drying,
and may cure over months or years.
3. Start spraying slightly off the edge
of the work piece, move the spray
across and end slightly off the work
piece. Overlap each pass across the
work piece. While this method does
create over-spray at the edges, it will
give you an even coat without heavier
or lighter layers at the edge.
5. Coagulating paint such as latex and
water based finishes are composed
of bits of paint suspended in water.
As the water evaporates the bits of
paint adhere to each other and form

5. Put on a ventilator and other safety
equipment recommended in the
Safety Section of this manual.
5. Hold the Spray Gun vertically. Hold-
ing the gun at an angle will affect the
spray pattern.
6. Point the Sprayer toward the work
material and squeeze the Trigger
(36). Paint will spray.
7. Move the spray across the work
piece as needed.
8. When done painting, release the Trig-
ger (36). The gun will stop spraying.
9. The Gun Body (8) has a hook built
into the top for convent hanging dur-
ing pauses in operation.
6. Do not spray too heavily. Heavy spray
will cause drips, sags and runs. Build
up the paint surface with several light
coats. Apply each coat when the
previous one is tacky but not yet dry.
This will allow the over coat to adhere
to the previous layer, but will not be
so heavy as to cause sags, runs or
drips.
10. When done painting, pour remaining
paint from the Cup (28) into an appro-
priate container.
11. clean the Sprayer thoroughly be-
fore putting it away.
12. To prevent accidents, turn off the
tool, detach the air supply, safely
discharge any residual air pressure
in the tool, and release the throttle
and/or turn the trigger to its off posi-
tion after use.
7. You must also avoid thick, clumpy
paint surface called “orange peel”.
Prevent orange peel by thinning the
paint properly before spraying. Then
spray successive light, even coats.
13. Then store the tool indoors in a safe
place out of children’s reach.
Operating the HVLP Sprayer
1. Cover all items you do not want
painted, using painters plastic or a
drop cloth (not included).
2. Connect your air supply hose to the
