Techniques Note: Before spraying, mask all objects you do not want sprayed and lay cloths (not included) on the floors. 1. Always keep the gun at right angles to the workpiece (See FIGURE 6). Pull the Trigger (38) slowly and move the Spray Gun in parallel strokes to the object being painted. Keep the distance f

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

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

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

30° Double Spray Head (54): Designed for wider spray areas on short crops and the spraying of herbicides and pesticides. Move in a parallel manner on one side while spraying. B. Fan Style Spray Head (55): Sprays evenly. Suitable for spray ing herbicides on short stalked crops. Always spray in the same direction as the wind. C. Adjustable Spray Head (56): Designed for spraying tall crops and fruit trees and the spraying of pesticides. However, the adjustable spray head may result in significant o

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

If the paint is too thin, you will get poor coverage, drips and runs, and excessive drying of the paint in the air. Proper thinning varies with the mate3. rial being used and local temperature and humidity. In most cases, thinning will be approximately 10% and not more than 30%. Test the paint viscosity by dipping 4. a stick into the paint, then observing the rate paint drips from the end. Properly thinned paint will drip about 1 per second. Follow paint manufacturer’s recom5. mendations. Experi

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
