Using an HVLP Spray Gun

Preparing to Spray

1. Release the cup locking lever and remove the cup.
2. Make sure that the cup and the cup gasket is clean and in
position. Fill the cup with the desired painting material.
3. Place the cup on the spray gun and tighten the cup locking
lever.
4. Attach the air supply hose to the air inlet fitting at the bottom
of the gun handle.
5. Turn on the air supply.

Selecting a Spray Pattern

The spray pattern is adjusted by turning the air cap into either a
vertical, horizontal, or diagonal position. To turn the air cap, grasp
the two front tabs and twist. Never trigger the gun while adjusting
the spray pattern.

Spray Pattern Size

To change the spray pattern size without changing the spray pattern
shape, turn the air cap ring.
NOTE: An ideal starting point is when the triangle mark on
the air cap ring (a) is aligned with the triangle mark
on the gun head (b).
Turning the ring clockwise will make the pattern bigger. Turning the
ring counterclockwise will make the pattern smaller. As you reduce
the spray pattern size, you will need to move closer to the surface.

Adjusting the Material and Air Flow

Each individual job and material may require slight adjustments in
the material flow and air flow.
Turn the material flow adjustment knob clockwise for less fluid and
counterclockwise for more fluid.
