f 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.
f 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.
f 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.
f Before starting have gloves, paper towels, rags etc.
available for unexpected spills.
FILLING THE CANISTER (FIG. D)
f Check to make sure that the canister is completely
screwed onto the sprayer.
f Lay the sprayer on its side with the canister side lid
facing up.
f Unscrew the lid on the side of the canister.
f Pour the properly thinned and strained material to
be sprayed into the side fill canister (Figure D). TIP:
Use the mixing bucket provided to pour material
from the original material container into the side
fill canister.
f Clean any residual liquid from the threads or sides of
the canister and sprayer.
f 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 completery before picking
up the sprayer.
OPERATION
MATERIAL FLOW ADJUSTMENT
Set the material volume by turning the material adjustment
knob on the trigger of the sprayer.
f For maximum material flow, thread knob all the way in
as shown in Figure E.
f For minimum material flow, thread knob all the way
out as shown in Figure E1.
The flow indicator on the side of the sprayer moves
forward (minimal liquid flow) and backward (maximum
liquid flow) as the trigg
TIP: Always test the spray pattern on scrap cardboard or
similar material first. Begin with the material adjustment
knob on the highest flow setting (threaded all the way
in). If less flow is desired, dial the material adjustment
knob out. Heavier, thicker materials should be sprayed
with the knob dialed farther in. Thinner materials should
be sprayed with the knob dialed farther out.
SMART SELECT NOZZLE SELECTION (FIG.F)
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 F). 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 F1).
Note: Spray nozzle can only be assembled in one
direction. Refer to figure S for proper assembly.

Warning! Risk of injury. Never point the sprayer ay
any part of the body. Never pull the trigger while adjusting
the spray setting.
DEVELOPING THE PROPER SPRAYING
TECHNIQUE
f 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.
f Ensure surface to be sprayed is free of dust, dirt, and
grease.
f Ensure spray area is clean and free of dust that could
be blown onto newly sprayed surfaces.
f Cover any areas not intended to be sprayed.
f Always spray from a minimum of 1 inch (25mm) to a
maximum of 14 inches (355mm) (Figure G).
f 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.
f To get an even spray distribution, always keep your arm
at the same distance (Figure G) from the surface you
are spraying and avoid moving your wrist (Figure H).
f Maintain smooth and consistent speed which will help
avoid inconsistencies. Begin spraying after the pass has
