6. Persons less than 16 years old are prohibited from using the paint sprayer.
WARNING!
Carefully comply with the following safety rules.
The Electric HVLP Paint Sprayer has been designed to be used mainly with cold-water paints. Other products
(paint, thinner, etc.) may contain hazardous, harmful, explosive or corrosive materials.

plate.
2. Make sure that the switch is in position "O."

Paint and Materials Used

Paint manufacturers often specify the percentage for thinning the products, in general this refers to brush or
roller applications. In fact, with the paint sprayer the percentage will be higher.
Tell your paint supplier that the product will be applied using a HVLP (high-volume and low-pressure) paint
sprayer.
Generally, in such case, the product must be thinned (try thinning a small amount of paint before thinning all of
it).

Viscosity

"Viscosity" is the technical term used to indicate if a liquid product is very thin or very thick: in the former the
viscosity is low, while in the latter it is considered to be high. The viscosity measurement is expressed in
seconds. To measure viscosity, fill the viscosity meter supplier with the machine with paint, and note how long it
takes for the paint to pass through the hole at the bottom of the viscosity meter. The time measured is the
viscosity value and is expressed in DIN-s.
