See FIGURE 1. 2. Fill the Cup on the Viscosity Meter (4) to the top. See FIGURE 1. 3. While holding the Viscosity Meter (4) over the material source can, let go of the output hole and count the number of seconds it takes for it to empty completely. The number of seconds is the viscosity rating. Cup Place finger over hole in the bottom.

REV 10/04 SKU 47274 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 4 Operation 1. Before loading the Container (17) with material, check the viscosity of the material. 2. Dip the Viscosity Cup into the material, and time how long it takes for the material to completely run out of the cup (See FIGURE 1). The longer it takes, the higher the viscosity. 3. In

Operation Warning! Never allow the Spray Gun and Cup (#19) to lay on it’s side when the Cup (#19) is full of paint. Spray Gun For best service, you should incorporate an oiler, a regulator, and an inline air filter, as shown above. All are available at Harbor Freight Tools. Note: It is recommended that you test the Spray Gun on scrap material, to become familiar with the available adjustments, prior to use. 1. Remove the Lid (#23) on the Cup (#19) and add no more than 10 ounces of paint. Replace

Paint and Materials Preparation Verify with the paint or materials supplier the percentage of thinning required for use with a High Volume-Low Pressure (HVLP) Sprayer. Try thinning a small amount and testing the spray action. Thoroughly mix material before testing. Rev 04/01 SKU 43430 Page 5 Rev 10/00 Viscosity Viscosity is the technical term used to indicate the liquidity (thickness or thinness) of the material to be sprayed. Viscosity is measured in the number of seconds required for the mater

Do not use latex paints with this Spray Gun. 2. Carefully strain the paint/material through a paint strainer or piece of cheese cloth. 3. Swing the Cup Locking Lever (39) out of the locked position to remove the Cup (43) from the Unit. Fill the Cup (43) to approximately 3/4 full. Place the Cup (43) back on the unit and swing the Cup Locking Lever (39) to the locked position. 4. Start the air compressor. 5. To adjust the spray pattern, set up a piece of scrap material to practice on. While practi

risk of Fire or explosion from Materials incompatible with aluminum. Certain solvents, including 1,1,1-Trichloroethane and Methylene Chloride can chemically react with the Aluminum used in this spray equipment. This can cause an explosion which may result in death or serious personal or property injury. Other chemicals ,when mixed, may cause unpredictable results. Inform yourself by reading the information provided with each solvent before introducing to the sprayer. Never spray the solvents nam

Let the layers dry in between coats. As with any manual process, practice leads to perfection. The following are a few general rules that may be of help in perfecting your process: • Use the lowest pressure setting recommended by the paint manufacturer. • Keep the gun perpendicular to the ground. • Maintain a distance of about 8” from the work as shown in Figure 5. • Make smooth, thin and even strokes across the work. • Overlap each stroke by about 50%. (See Figure 6) • Let each coat dry before

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION: Do not install a female quick coupler on the tool. Such a coupler contains an air valve that will allow the air tool to retain pressure and operate accidentally after the air supply is disconnected. Note: Air flow, and therefore tool performance, can be hindered by undersized air supply components. 2. The air hose must be long enough to reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working. 3. Make sure the
