GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD. Improper installation of the

grounding plug is able to result in a risk of electric shock. When repair or replacement of the cord or plug is required, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.

This product is for use on a nominal 120-V circuit and has a grounding plug similar to the plug illustrated in sketch A. Only connect the product to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this product.

Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman when the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or when in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if it does not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

EXTENSION CORDS

Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the suffix W-A after the cord type designation. For example, a designation of SJTW-A would indicate that the cord would be appropriate for outdoor use. For proper size cords see chart below.

ALIGNING THE PICKUP TUBE -

FIGURES BAND B1)

(

he pickup tube can be aligned in the

irection that you will be doing the most

d spraying to help minimize the amount of times that you will have to refill the canister.

• If you are spraying at an upward angle or straight on, position the pickup tube (figure B) toward the back of the canister.

• If you are spraying at a downward angle, position the pickup tube (figure B1) toward the front of the canister.

This will ensure you spray as much material as possible before you need to refill.

ATTACHING THEAIR HOSE - (FIGURES C AND C1)

• Insert one end of the air hose into the back of the sprayer. A slight twisting action when inserting the hose will help insure a snug fit.

• Insert the other end of the air hose into the back of the power unit. A slight twisting action when inserting the hose will help insure a snug fit.

SET-UP

LIQUID MATERIAL PREPARATION (FIGURES D, D1 AND D2)

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 water soluble 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°C (140°F) .

A 2-

/4 quart mixing bucket is provided

to use when transferring spray material from the original container into the bucket for thinning and measuring

purposes (figure D). A viscosity test cup is provided to determine the “runout time” of the material being used.

• Before measuring for the proper viscosity, stir the material throughly.

• 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 stream of material flowing out to “break” or stop being a constant stream out of the bottom of the cup (2 minutes or less) (figure D1). 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

ecommended by the manufacturer (figure D2).

• It is possible to spray latex paint with this unit, however, the required thinning

may exceed material manufacturerʼs recommendation. Thin latex paint so that it runs through viscosity cup in under 2 minutes. The operator should consider the type of application and final location of the project when spraying a material that requires more than 2 minutes to run through the viscosity cup,

THINNING TABLE

SPRAY MATERIAL RUNOUT TIME

Clear and semi-transparent stains and sealers No thinning required Oil based primers, varnishes and polyurethane (Less than 2 minute runout) Solid color water based stains May require thinning Water based or latex paints (More than 2 minute runout) Note: Not recommended for textured paint

PREPARATION TIPS

• Always stir and strain the material throughly 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 the sprayer. Remove skin before mixing. Strain with a funnel with a filter

attached or through hosiery to remove any impurities that could clog system.

• Before starting have gloves, paper towels, rags etc. available for unexpected spills.

FILLING THE CANISTER - (FIGURE E)

• Check to make sure that the canister is completely screwed onto the sprayer.

• Lay the sprayer on its side with the canister side lid facing up.

• Unscrew the lid on the side of the canister.

• Pour the properly thinned and strained material to be sprayed into the side fill

canister (figure E). TIP: Use the mixing bucket provided to pour material

from the original material container into the side fill canister.

• Clean any residual liquid from the threads or sides of the canister and sprayer.

• Starting the threads evenly, screw the lid completely onto the side fill canister.

Check the lid to make sure it is threaded on squarely and completely before picking up the sprayer.

OPERATION

ON / OFF SWITCH - (FIGURE F)

The on/off switch is located on the handle of the power unit.

• To turn the power unit on, press the top of

switch (I).

• To turn the power unit off, press the bottom

of switch (0).

SMART SELECT NOZZLE SELECTION - (FIGURE G)

There are three spray patterns to choose from. They are marked as 1, 2 and 3 on the Smart Select label located on the top of the sprayer (figure G). To select pattern number 1, turn the spray nozzle and align the green indicator on the spray nozzle with the number 1 on the label (figure G1).

NOTE: Spray nozzle can only be assembled in one direction. Refer to figure S for proper assembly.

Pattern number 1 -

• Horizontal Flat Jet - Apply up and down a surface.

• Pattern number 2 - Circular Jet - for corners, edges and narrow surfaces.

TIP: Position number 2 has a detent that you can feel when you turn the spray nozzle. Make sure it locates in the detent.

• Pattern number 3 - Vertical Flat Jet. Apply side to side.

WARNING: Risk of injury. Never point the sprayer at any part of the body. Never pull the

trigger while adjusting the spray setting.

FLOW CONTROL KNOB - (FIGURE H, H1)

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. The flow indicator on the top of the sprayer moves forward (minimal liquid flow) and backward (maximum liquid flow) as the knob is turned.

TIP: Always test the spray pattern on scrap cardboard or similar material first. Begin with flow control knob on the highest flow setting. If less flow is desired, dial the flow control knob in. Heavier, thicker materials should be sprayed with the indicater close to the (+) icon. Thinner materials should be sprayed with the indicater close to the (-) icon.

NOTE: If the flow control setting is set completely to the minimum side, as shown in figure H1, the trigger will have limited or no travel. Back the flow control knob off (clockwise) to allow for more trigger travel.

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 1 inch (25mm) to a maximum of

14 inches (355mm) (figure I).

• A commonly used method for spraying a large surface is the

“crisscross” pattern. This is done by spraying in horizontal strips and then crossing over these strips with vertical strips.

• To get an even spray distribution, always keep your arm at the

same distance (figure I) from the surface you are spraying and avoid moving your wrist (figure J).

• 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. Several lighter 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 hand to 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.

CLEANING

WARNING: Be sure to use appropriate protective gear.

• Do not use materials with a flashpoint higher than 60°C ( 140°F) . Flashpoint is the temperature that a fluid can

produce enough vapors to ignite (see coating supplier).

• Make sure clean up area is well ventilated and free of flammable vapors.

• Always spray outdoors when spraying cleaning solution through sprayer.

• Do not submerse power unit.

• 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.

To begin cleaning:

• Turn the power unit off, unplug the cord and

disconnect air hose from sprayer.

• Unscrew the lid from the side of the canister

and pour any remaining liquid back into the original container (figure K).

• Pour a small amount of the appropriate

cleaning solution into the canister (figure L).

• Warm soapy water for water based materials

• Manufacturers recommended cleaning solution for oil based materials

• Replace the lid on the canister securely and

vigorously shake the sprayer.

• Unscrew the lid from the side of the canister

and properly dispose of cleaning solution.

• Refill the canister with a small amount of new

cleaning solution (figure L). Screw lid securely on canister.

• Reattach the air hose to the sprayer, plug in

the cord and turn on the power unit.

• Spray the cleaning solution through the

sprayer onto scrap material for 2 to 3 seconds (figure M).

• Turn the power unit off, unplug the cord and

disconnect air hose from sprayer.

• Remove the canister and unscrew the side lid.

Remove the check valve, pickup tube and o-ring from the sprayer. Clean the parts with the cleaning brush in the appropriate cleaning solution (figure N).

• Unscrew the tip collar and remove the spray

nozzle and spray tip. Clean all parts with the cleaning brush in the appropriate cleaning solution (figure O).

• If using water based material, clean the

sprayer by running water through pickup tube inlet as shown in figure P. If using oil based materials, clean pickup tube inlet with the appropriate cleaning solution. Repeat until sprayer is completely clean.

• Dry all parts throughly.

• Properly dispose of cleaning solution.

• Place a drop of household oil onto the metal

ball in the check valve (figure Q).

IMPORTANT: Lubricating the ball in check valve, after cleanup, will help to prevent it from sticking which can clog the valve and prevent adequate flow of spray material. NOTE: When reassembling, place metal ball end of check valve into sprayer.

• Reassemble sprayer (figure R). NOTE: The spray tip can only go in one way. The notch on the spray tip,

shown in figure S must align with the recess in the threads of the sprayer.

Use only mild soap and damp cloth to clean the power unit. Never let any liquid get inside the power unit; never immerse any part of the power unit into a liquid. IMPORTANT: To assure product SAFETY and RELIABILITY, repairs, maintenance and adjustment (other than those listed in this manual) should be performed by authorized service centers or other qualified service organizations, always using identical replacement parts.

The power unit contains a washable/reuseable filter (figure T). Check the filter before and after each use. If dirty, wash with warm water and allow to air dry before re-installing or replace if necessary.

• To check the filter, remove the filter cover by pressing

in on the sides of the filter cover and pulling the cover off the power unit. Remove the filter as shown in figure T and inspect. Replace filter and filter cover. Never operate the power unit without the filter in place. Debris could be sucked in and interfere with the function of the power unit.
