500W HVLP Paint Sprayer

• Hold the Spray Gun so that the Air Cap (14) is 250 to 300mm from the surface
to be sprayed, depending on the required width of the spray jet
• Start the spray movement first, then squeeze the Trigger
Note:
The spray movement should come from the arm, not just the wrist. This
helps to maintain a uniform distance between Spray Gun and surface being
sprayed.
Note:
An uneven distance between Spray Gun and surface will result in uneven
paint application.
• Move the Spray Gun evenly across the surface and avoid interruptions. See
Fig. A below.
Note:
An even movement of the Spray Gun will achieve an even surface quality.
• If coating material builds up on the Nozzle (16) and Air Cap, cease spraying,
turn off power, disassemble and clean both parts with solvent or water as
appropriate
• Clean Spray Gun thoroughly as soon as you have finished spraying
Tips
• The most effective way to spray a vertical surface is to use a ‘cross-coat’
method, spraying in a zigzag pattern first in horizontal bands, then in vertical
bands. Use a flowing, serpentine motion as opposed to stopping and starting.
See Fig. B below.
• Move a flat section of cardboard parallel to the paint jet to mask edges
• When using strong colour shades, or painting over strong shades with a lighter
colour, apply at least two coats, allowing each coat to dry before applying the
next. This will ensure good coverage
• You can also use a cut-out stencil technique to paint shapes on the wall
WARNING:
Immediately after use the Spray Gun must be cleaned to prevent paint
drying within the Spray Gun. If you wish to mix or dilute another batch of paint
only do so without cleaning if there is no risk of the paint drying.
