INTRODUCTION
HVLP stands for High Volume, Low Pressure. This is
a type of spraying that allows you to spray extremely
accurately but without all the overspray that occurs
with the high pressure tank type equipment. In fact, in
some parts of the world the high pressure systems
are banned by law on environmental grounds and
HVLP type systems are the only alternative for
professional type spraying. This gun is extremely
easy to use, very safe and reduces the amount of
paint used.
PLEASE NOTE
We have done all we can to ensure that used correctly and
according to these instructions, this spray gun will give long
and trouble free life. We accept no responsibility for damage
caused by the use of incorrect or unsuitable substances,
paints or fluids which have not been thinned correctly or are
unsuitable for the surfaces to which they are applied, health
hazards arising from lack of ventilation when working in
confined spaces or failure of the equipment due to
inadequate cleaning of the components after use. If in doubt,
always test a small inconspicuous area first. Always read the
paint manufacturer’s instructions first. Neither our guarantee
nor the above statement affects your statutory rights.

IMPORTANT
SELECTING PAINT
This is a highly versatile spray kit that can be used
with several different spray mediums including
varnishes, wood preservatives, enamels, oil and
water based paints and cellulose. However some
materials cannot be sprayed so please check the
recommendation of the manufacturer before buying
the paint. If a material refers to brush application only
then it usually cannot be sprayed.
THIS UNIT CANNOT BE USED FOR TEXTURED
PAINTS. USE OF THESE MATERIALS WILL
CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR, WHICH WILL VOID
THE GUARANTEE.
TO OBTAIN THE BEST RESULTS FROM YOUR
SPRAY KIT PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS
CAREFULLY BEFORE USE.

PREPARATION
Preparation of the surface and thinning of the paint are
the two most important areas to be concerned with to
obtain the best results from your spray kit.
Ensure all surfaces are free from dust, dirt, rust and
grease. If necessary rub down with sandpaper, or
similar.
Masking of areas is important to ensure you do not
spray those areas you wish to remain untouched.
THINNING
Your spray kit is supplied with a viscosity cup. Viscosity
is a technical term used to indicate if a product is very
thin or very thick. If thin, the viscosity is said to be low,
while if very thick the viscosity is said to be high.
Viscosity is measured in seconds. In order to spray
some materials they need to be “thinned” (diluted).
Thinning is very important when spraying. Most paints
etc are supplied ready for brush application and may
need to be thinned (diluted) for spraying purposes.
8
Follow the manufacturers guide for thinning in
conjunction with a spray gun. If in doubt please
contact the manufacturers of the paint. The viscosity
cup supplied will help you determine the correct
thickness of the paint. Paint is “thinned” by adding the
substance which the paint is based upon. If a water
based paint then water is added, if oil based then
white spirit, if cellulose then a cellulose thinner is
added.
As some paints, wood preservatives and other
sprayable materials contain particles that have
differing qualities, please ensure that when filling the
paint container of the spray gun, that the paint is
filtered through either a funnel with a filter on it or
through nylon tights or stockings. This will ensure that
no large particles enter the paint container, so
preventing blockages and providing you with trouble
free spraying. Ensure that a face mask, gloves and
goggles are worn at all times when spraying.

IDEAL VISCOSITY
This gun can be used with products having a
viscosity ranging from 10 to a maximum of 60
seconds. Dip the viscosity cup into the material and
fill up. Time how long it takes for the viscosity cup to
empty (Fig.1).
Using the above chart (or manufacturer’s
instructions) as a guide determine if the material
requires further thinning, if so then thin accordingly.
