ELECTRICAL SAFETY

This tool is double insulated; therefore no earthwire is required. Always check that the powersupply corresponds to the voltage on the ratingplate.

• If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorized Service Centre in order to avoid a hazard.
• When using the tool outdoors, only use extensioncables intended for outdoor use. A suitable ratedextension cable of up to 30m can be used without loss of power.
• Electric safety can be further improved by using a highsensitivity.3-bladegrounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept theplug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in goodcondition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use oneheavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. Anundersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting inloss of power and overheating. If an extension cord is to beused outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-A after thecord type designation. For example, a designation of SJTW-Awould indicate that the cord would be appropriate for outdooruse. For proper size cords see chart.

Guide for extension cord usage:

Type of cable	Up to	5 metres	from 5 to 10 metres

Make sure area is well ventilated and free off lammable vapors.

Aligning the pickup tube (Fig. B)

The pickup tube(#15)needs to be aligned in the direction toward the front of the canister (Fig. B). This will ensure you spray as much material as possible before you need to refill.

Attaching spray unit to spray gun handle (Fig. B1)

Align the marking line on the spray unit with the icon of unlock, then rotate the spray gun handle clockwise until stop. Rotate the quick release lock (#20) and snap onto the hook on the edge of canister lid.

Attaching the air hose (Fig.C, Fig. D)

Insert one end of the air hose into the hose connector of the back of the prayer. A slight twisting action when inserting thehose will help insure a snug fit.(Fig. C) Insert the other end of the air hose into the hose connector of the front of the power unit. A slight twisting action when inserting thehose will help insure a snug fit. (Fig. D)

Liquid material preparation (Fig. E and E1)

Tip: Make sure the type of material you use can be cleaned with either mineral spirits or paint thinner (for oil-based paints) or a warm water and soap solution (for watersoluble paints like latex). Use drop cloths during pouring, mixing, and viscosity testing of materials to be sprayed to protect your floors and anything else in the spraying area that you wish to remain untouched. The liquid being sprayed may need to be thinned (diluted) before starting. When thinning, use the proper liquid thinner recommended on the container by the material manufacturer.

Warning!

Do not use materials with a flashpoint higher than 60^ (140°F). A viscosity test cup is provided to determine the "runout time" of the material being used.

Before measuring for the proper viscosity, stir thematerial thoroughly.
Dip the viscosity cup into the material being sprayed and fill the cup completely.
- With the cup held over the material container, measure the amount of time it takes for the streamof material flowing out to "break" or stop being aconstant stream out of the bottom of the cup (100 seconds or less) (Fig. E). This is the "runout time". Refer to the thinning table for information on the thinning required for different materials.
If material needs thinning, add the appropriate liquid, thinning material recommended by the manufacturer(Fig. E1).
It is possible to spray latex paint with this unit, however, the required thinning may exceed material manufacturer's recommendation. Thin latex paint so that it runs through viscosity cup within 10 seconds. The operator should consider the type of application and final location of the project when spraying a material that requires more than 110 secondsto run through the viscosity cup.

OPERATION

THINNING TABLE
SPRAY MATERIAL	RUNOUT TIME
Clear and semi-transparent stains and sealers Oil based primers, varnishes and polyurethane	No thinning required (Less than110 seconds runout)
Solid color water basedstains	May require thinning(More
Water based or latexpaints	than110 seconds runout)
Note: Not recommended for textured paint

PREPARATION TIPS

Always stir and strain the material thoroughly before use
- With any spraying job you should always ensure that you have properly prepared the surface to get the best finish. That is, all surfaces are free from dust, dirt, rust and grease. Lightly pressure wash decks or exterior surfaces and ensure that they are dry before spraying.
- Even though HVLP sprayers have very little overspray, it is recommended that you mask all edges and other areas and use drop cloths to protect your floors and anything else in the spraying area that you wish to remain untouched.
Skin that forms on the top of paint can clog thesprayer. Remove skin before mixing. Strain with
- afunnel with a filter attached or through hosiery remove any impurities that could clog system. Before starting have gloves, paper towels, rags etc. available for unexpected spills.

FILLING THE CANISTER (FIG. F)

• Check to make sure that the canister is completely screwed onto the sprayer.
  Unscrew the quick refill lid (#17).
  Stand the sprayer firmly on an smooth and horizontal surface
  Pour the properly thinned and strained material to besprayed into the canister (Fig. F).
  Clean any residual liquid from the threads or sides ofthe canister and sprayer.
  Starting the threads evenly, screw the lid completely onto the top fill canister. Check the lid to make sure it is threaded on squarely and completely before picking up the sprayer.

ON/OFF SWITCH (Fig. G)

The on/off switch is located on the top of the power unit. Press the switch button to turn on or turn off the power unit.

SMART SELECT NOZZLE SELECTION (Fig. H, Fig. H1)

There are three spray patterns to choose from:

• Vertical Flat Jet
• Horizontal Flat Jet
• Circular Jet

To select Vertical Flat Jet, turn the air cap (#5) to horizontal direction by turning the smart nozzle selector (#3) clockwise until stop.

To select Circular Jet, turn the Spray Width Lever (#8) to the

of Minimum.Note: Spray nozzle can only be assembled in onedirection that the notch of the nozzle(#6) must align with the skirt on spray unit housing(#10). Refer toFig. T1 for properassembly

Warning!

Risk of injury. Never point the sprayer at anypart of the body. Never pull the trigger while adjusting the spray setting.

ADJUSTING WIDTH OF SPRAY PATTERN (Fig.H1)

By turning the Spray Width Lever (#8) between the Minimum marking and Maximum marking, the width of the spray patterns can be adjusted accordingly.

FIG. H

Application	Spray Width Lever #8	Air Cap #3 S	Spray Jet Pattern
Initial coatings, corners, edges, and hard to reach locations			Small circular jet
Small-medium size surface			Vertical narrow jet for horizontal coating direction Horizontal narrow jet
			for horizontal coating direction Horizontal narrow jet for vertical coating direction
			Vertical wide jet for horizontal coating direction
Large size surface top coating			Horizontal wide jet for vertical coating direction

FLOW CONTROL KNOB (Fig. 1)

The flow control knob(#19) regulates the amount of liquid that can be sprayed. Turning the flow knob clockwise increases the flow of liquid. Turning the knob counter anti-clock wise decreases the flow of liquid.

Tip: Always test the spray pattern on scrap cardboard or similar material first. Begin with flow control knob onthe highest flow setting. If less flow is desired, dial the flow control knob anti-clockwise to decrease the flow of liquid. Heavier, thicker materials should besprayed with the flow control knob on high flow setting. Thinner materials should be sprayed with the flow control knob on low flow setting

DEVELOPING THE PROPER SPRAYING TECHNIQUE

• Practice spraying on a piece of scrap material such as cardboard to test your spray pattern and become familiar with the flow control feature of the sprayer.
  Ensure surface to be sprayed is free of dust, dirt, and grease.
• Ensure spray area is clean and free of dust that could be blown onto newly sprayed surfaces.
  Cover any areas not intended to be sprayed.
  Always spray from a minimum of 50mm to amaximum of 300mm (Fig. J).
  A commonly used method for spraying a largesurface is the "crisscross" pattern. This is done by spraying in horizontal strips and then crossing over these strips with vertical strips.(Fig. L)
  To get an even spray distribution, always keep your arm at the same distance (Fig. J) from the surface you are spraying and avoid moving your wrist (Fig. K).
• Maintain smooth and consistent speed which will help avoid inconsistencies. Begin spraying after the pass has begun and release trigger before stopping the pass.
• Avoid spraying too heavily in any one area. Severallighter coats are better than one heavy coat which can lead to running and dripping. Remember that the flow control knob regulates the amount of liquid that can be sprayed. Turning the flow knob clockwise increases the flow of liquid. Turning the knob counterclockwise decreases the flow of liquid. If runs or drips do occur, have a dry paint brush on handto smooth them out.
• Turn the power unit off and place the sprayer in the built-in dock of the power unit when not spraying for any length of time.
