2.
Route the air hose along a safe route
to reach the work area without creat-
ing a tripping hazard or exposing the
air hose to possible damage. The air
hose must be long enough to reach
the work area with enough extra
length to allow free movement while
working.
3.
Secure loose work pieces using a
vise or clamps (not included) to pre-
vent movement while working.
4.
There must not be hazardous ob-
jects (such as utility lines or foreign
objects) nearby that will present a
hazard while working.
5.
Prepare a well ventilated work space.
Use a ventilator designed to prevent
inhalation of paint and volatile fluids
and gasses.
Prepare the paint
1.
Due to the high viscosity of latex and
most water based paints, they are not
generally recommended for HVLP
painting. Check with the paint manu-
facturer for specifics.
2.
In most cases, the paint must be
thinned for spraying. Only use the
thinner recommended by the paint
manufacturer. If the paint is too thick,
you will get a thick, orange-peel fin-
ish, and the sprayer may clog. If the
paint is too thin, you will get poor cov-
erage, drips and runs, and excessive
drying of the paint in the air.
3.
Proper thinning varies with the mate-
rial being used and local temperature
and humidity. In most cases, thinning
will be approximately 10% and not
more than 30%.
