Tool Set Up

To prevent serious injury from

accidental operation: 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 position before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.

To prevent serious injury:

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.

1.This tool is treated with anti-corrosive compounds at the factory. Flush it out thoroughly with paint thinner before first use.

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

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.

2.Route the air hose along a safe route to reach the work area without creat- ing a tripping hazard or exposing the air hose to possible damage. The air hose must be long enough to reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.

3.Secure loose work pieces using a vise or clamps (not included) to pre- vent movement while working.

4.There must not be hazardous ob- jects (such as utility lines or foreign objects) nearby that will present a hazard while working.

5.Prepare a well ventilated work space. Use a ventilator designed to prevent inhalation of paint and volatile fluids and gasses.

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.

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.

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%.
