Important Safety Information

Grounded Outlet

Grounding Pin

Cover for grounded outlet box

Read all safety information before operating the equipment. Save these instructions.

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

To reduce the risks of re or explosion, electrical shock and the injury to persons, read and understand all instructions included in this manual. Be familiar with the controls and proper usage of the equipment.

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 - Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock.

If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the green grounding wire to either at blade terminal. The wire with insulation having a green outer surface with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire and must be connected to the grounding pin.

Check with a qualied electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided. If the plug will not t the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualied electrician.

This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated below. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same conguration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of re or explosion:

1. Do not spray ammable or combustible materials near an open ame, pilot lights or sources of ignition such as hot objects, cigarettes, motors, electrical equipment and electrical appliances. Avoid creating sparks from connecting and disconnecting power cords.

2. For use with only water-based or mineral spirit-type materials with a minimum ash point of 38ºC (100º F) — Do not spray or clean with liquids having a ash point of less than 38ºC (100º F). Flash point is the temperature at which a uid can produce enough vapor to ignite.

3. Verify that all containers and collection systems are grounded to prevent static discharge.

4. Connect to a grounded outlet and use grounded extension cords (electric models only). Do not use a 3 to 2 adapter.

5. Keep spray area well ventilated. Keep a good supply of fresh air moving through the area to keep the air within the spray area free from accumulation of ammable vapors.

6. Do not smoke in the spray area.

7. Do not operate light switches, engines, or similar spark producing products in the spray area.

8. Keep area clean and free of paint or solvent containers, rags, and other ammable materials.

9. Know the contents of the paint and solvents being sprayed. Read all Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and container labels provided with the paints and solvents. Follow the paint and solvent manufacture’s safety instructions.

10. Fire extinguisher equipment shall be present and working.

Important Electrical Information

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. A 14 gauge or 12 gauge cord is recommended. If an extension cord is to be used outdoors, it must be marked with the sux 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.

IMPORTANT: for outdoor use ONLY with materials having ashpoint above 100ºF (38ºC).

Household use only. Intended

Spray Area Preparation - outdoor use only

The spray area must be clean and free of dust in order to avoid blowing dust onto your freshly sprayed surface.

How to Spray Properly

Partially pulling the trigger will start the turbine, but no material will spray

STOP

until the trigger is pulled fully. It is recommended that the trigger rst be pulled partially in order to start the turbine before a spray pass is made.

• Position the spray gun perpendicular to and one (1) or more inches from the spray surface, depending upon the spray pattern size desired.

• Spray parallel to the surface with smooth passes at a consistent speed as illustrated below. Doing this will help avoid irregularities in the nish (i. e. runs and sags).

• Always apply a thin coat of material on the rst pass and allow to dry before applying a second, slightly heavier coat.

• The closer your sprayer is to the object being sprayed the lower the overspray.

6 to 12 inches

Correct

Material Flow Adjustment

Set the material volume by turning the regulator on the trigger of the spray gun.

Proper Spraying Technique

If spraying with an HVLP spray system is new or unfamiliar to you, it is advisable to practice on a piece of scrap wood or cardboard before beginning on your intended workpiece.

• When spraying, always trigger the spray gun after spray pass has begun and release trigger before stopping the pass. Always keep the gun pointed squarely at the spray surface and overlap passes slightly to obtain the most consistent and professional nish possible.

Incorrect

Surface Preparation

All objects to be sprayed should be thoroughly cleaned before spraying material on them. Areas not to be sprayed may, in certain cases, need to be masked or covered.

Cleanup

Flushing the unit

Before you begin:

When cleaning, use the appropriate cleaning solution (warm, soapy water for latex materials; mineral spirits for oil-based materials)

IMPORTANT: Never clean air cap or air holes in the nozzle with sharp metal objects. Do not use solvents or lubricants containing silicone.

Special cleanup instructions for use with flammable solvents (must have a flashpoint above 100ºF (38ºC):

 • Alwaysushspraygunoutside.  • Areamustbefreeofammablevapors.  • Cleaningareamustbewell-ventilated.  • Donotsubmergeturbine!

To Flush the Unit:

1. Unplug the power cord. Loosen the material container by 1/2 turn, but do not remove it. This will relieve any pressure left over in the system.

Pull the trigger so that the material inside the spray

nozzle drains back into the container.

2. Unscrew the container and remove. Empty any remaining material back into the material container.

3. Pour a small amount of the appropriate cleaning solution into the cup (Water=1/2 full. Mineral spirits=1/4 full).

4. Attach the cup to the nozzle and plug in the sprayer.

5. Spray the cleaning solution into a safe area.

While spraying, gently shake the spray gun. This slight

agitation will help break up smaller particles of spray material.

6. Unplug the power cord. Loosen the material container by 1/2 turn, but do not remove it. This will relieve any pressure left over in the system.

Pull the trigger so that the material inside the spray

nozzle drains back into the container.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Filters:

IMPORTANT: You should inspect the air lters in the turbine to see if it is excessively dirty. If it is dirty, follow these steps to replace it.

IMPORTANT: Never operate your unit without the air lters. Dirt could be sucked in and interfere with the function of the unit.

1. Unplug the spray gun. Remove the lter cover from the turbine by removing the two screws holding it in place.

2. Remove the dirty lters and replace with new ones. The smooth side of the air lter must be placed toward the turbine.

3. Secure the cover back onto the turbine.

Cleaning the Air Tube:

Note: If material has entered the air tube, proceed as follows.

1. Pull the air tube (a) at the top from the nozzle. Screw o the valve cover (b). Remove the valve seal (c). Clean all the parts carefully. Make sure to remove any material from valve seal housing area (d).

IMPORTANT: The air tube and valve seal (c) are only solvent-resistant to a limited extent. Do not immerse in solvent, only wipe.

2. Place the valve seal (c) in the valve cover (b) with the pin facing into the tube.

Note: Installing the valve seal into the valve cover will be much easier if the valve cover is inverted.

3. Turn the nozzle upside down and screw on the valve cover (with valve seal inside) from underneath.

Note: Turning the nozzle upside down will prevent the valve seal from falling out of the valve cover during reinstallation.

4. Place the air tube on the valve cover and on the nipple at the nozzle.
