Note: Residual air pressure should not be present after the tool is disconnected from the air supply. However, it is a good safety measure to attempt to discharge the tool in a safe fashion after disconnecting to ensure that the tool is disconnected and unpowered.

Operating Instructions

Read the entire Important Safety Information section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Inspect tool before use, looking for damaged, loose, and missing parts. If any problems are found, do not use tool until repaired.

4.Air powered HVLP and conventional 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.

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.

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.
