Product Description
Electric HVLP Paint Sprayer is the perfect system for precision painting. It is very easy to use and absolutely
safe, since the maximum operating pressure is 0.15 bar. Reduced paint atomisation makes the work healthier
and saves paint.
All these advantages are guaranteed by using the "HVLP high-volume low-pressure air system to paint at
constant air pressure and volume.

6. Persons less than 16 years old are prohibited from using the paint sprayer.
The Electric HVLP Paint Sprayer has been designed to be used mainly with cold-water paints. Other products
(paint, thinner, etc.) may contain hazardous, harmful, explosive or corrosive materials.
Carefully read the label of the product (paint) being used.
It is recommended to wear a protective mask while painting and to wear gloves when using and cleaning the
machine.
Use the machine in well-ventilated rooms.
Carefully follow the suggestions indicated on the label of the product being used. Use only products with a
flashpoint higher than 22°C.
Do not smoke and do not use objects that may generate sparks given that the solvents used may be
inflammable.
Installation
1. Make sure that the power supply voltage is the same as the value indicated on the machine technical data
plate.
2. Make sure that the switch is in position “O.”
3. Connect the machine plug to an extension (minimum 1,200W).
4. Connect the hose to the multistage centrifugal blower.
5. Fit the support belt.
Paint and Materials Used
Paint manufacturers often specify the percentage for thinning the products, in general this refers to brush or
roller applications. In fact, with the paint sprayer the percentage will be higher.
Tell your paint supplier that the product will be applied using a HVLP (high-volume and low-pressure) paint
sprayer.
Generally, in such case, the product must be thinned (try thinning a small amount of paint before thinning all of
it).
Viscosity
"Viscosity" is the technical term used to indicate if a liquid product is very thin or very thick: in the former the
viscosity is low, while in the latter it is considered to be high. The viscosity measurement is expressed in
seconds. To measure viscosity, fill the viscosity meter supplier with the machine with paint, and note how long it
takes for the paint to pass through the hole at the bottom of the viscosity meter. The time measured is the
viscosity value and is expressed in DIN-s.

Generality
This machine can use products with a viscosity ranging from 10 to a maximum of 35 (35 DIN-s).
A paint with a much higher viscosity can be used only for water-soluble products for outdoor and indoor wall
applications. The quantity and type of paint are very important.
The main viscosity values for the most commonly used products are:
The product manufacturer's instructions for the type of thinner and the quantity, in percentage to be added (this
may vary from 5 to 50%).
Preparations
Preparing the Surface
To obtain good results, the objects or surface to be treated must be cleaned.
Remove any traces of rust or scaling from the old paint and, if necessary, rub it using sandpaper.
Stucco or rub with sandpaper, where necessary, to make the surface smooth.
Carefully read the instructions indicated on the paint can. Manufacturers usually suggest to apply a fixative
before painting to obtain the best results and, above all, to save paint.
Preparing the Work Piece for Painting
Shake well. Pour paint inside the paint sprayer reservoir, without filling it to the top (maximum ¾). Use a stick to
mix and stir the product.
Thin the product following the manufacturer's instructions. If necessary GRADUALLY ADD THINNER AFTER
MAKING TESTS ON A PIECE OF CARDBOARD OR WOOD.
After checking that the product has been correctly thinned, the entire work piece can now be thinned. For more
specific information about viscosity, refer to the Viscosity section.

WARNING!
Never use a circular movement; this might damage the quality of the finish. Release the
trigger at the end of each forward movement and pull it again when the return movement has
started.
This will avoid any joining marks caused by a second coat, especially for large surfaces.
The movement must be horizontal if the spray is vertically aligned or vertical if the spray is
horizontally aligned.
The round spray (CC) requires a greater distance from the object to be painted. In any case,
make tests on a pieces of cardboard or wood before painting.
HVPL Paint Sprayer
Mount the paint sprayer container and tighten it fully.
Connect the hose to the paint sprayer grip.
To select the type of spray required, loosen the adjustment ring, adjust the position, orienting the nozzle to
obtain:
HH Horizontal spray
VV Vertical spray
CC Round spray
The gasket includes 4 orientation notches that help position the butterfly nozzle. The position is fixed by a tab
that protrudes from the bottom.
After selecting the type of spray, tighten the adjustment ring. The horizontal or vertical sprays (HH -VV) are
recommended for large surfaces. The round spray (CC) is used for small objects or for areas that are difficult to
reach (comers, angles, etc.).
Paint Sprayer Operation and Use
The atomiser supplies the compressed air needed to operate the machine.
Air flows from the butterfly nozzle and paint is sprayed only when the trigger is pulled.
Start-Up
Tum the switch ON/OFF to start the machine.
Adjustments
The spray can be adjusted very easily as follows:
Completely close the adjustment screw by turning it to the right.
Keep pulling the trigger and slowly open the paint screw until the correct amount of paint is obtained.
The paint sprayer should be moved with a regular motion and always kept at the same distance (from 10 to
30 cm) depending on the adjustment and type of paint used), and should always be parallel to the surface of
the object being treated.
