Page 8: Overview
OVERVIEW The High Volume/Low Pressure (HVLP) spray gun reduces the spray mist associated with compressed air spraying and therefore both reduces paint loss and masking requirements. The gun may be used with various spray mediums, including varnishes, wood preservatives, masonry paints, enamel paints, and oil and water based paints. -

Page 12: Spraying Technique
SPRAYING TECHNIQUE The quality of the finished work depends on the smoothness and cleanliness of the surface to be sprayed. Therefore the surface should be carefully prepared and kept free from dust. Carefully mask all areas not to be painted and cover all surrounding areas. - Page 13 To obtain the best results, keep your spray gun level and parallel to the surface at all times. Keep the nozzle 25 - 30 cm from the surface and spray evenly from side to side or up and down. Do not spray at an angle as this will lead to paint runs on the surface.

Page 14: Cleaning & Maintenance
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE CLEANING Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper care and regular cleaning. It is essential that the spray gun is cleaned thoroughly after every use. Failure to clean it will almost certainly result in blockages and it may not operate correctly when you next come to use it. -
Page 15: Maiintenance
A worn nozzle may eventually develop a larger hole and scratches on the surface, which will cause a poor spray pattern. Replacements are available from your dealer or the Clarke International Parts Department. STORAGE For long term storage, always store in a well ventilated area and keep the product dry and dust free. -
