► If material needs thinning, add the appropriate
liquid thinning material recommended by the
manufacturer.
► It is possible to spray latex paint with this unit,
however, the required thinning may exceed
material manufacturer’s recommendation. Thin
latex paint so that it runs through viscosity cup
within 150 seconds. The operator should
consider the type of application and final
location of the project when spraying a material
that requires more than 150 seconds to run
through the viscosity cup.
OPERATION
Preparation tips
► Always stir and strain the material thoroughly
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 ot
her 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.
