Filter Part Code V0007 V0011 L0682 V0012 V0014 L0896 L0290 The concept INTRODUCTION A motor feeds out a high volume of air (HV) and enables products to be sprayed at a low pressure (LP). The Hose feeds the air produced by the motor to the Spray Gun. The solution is released from the Fluid Tip of the Spray Gun at a very low pressure (0.14 bar) and is enclosed in a high volume of air. The powerful motor can spray a wide range of solutions with or without dilution. However, there will always be some which will not be suitable for the Spray Gun. Good quality paint contains a high percentage of solids which make the dilution easier. The users must keep in mind that low temperatures make the paint thicker, that's why we recommend spraying with the Spray Gun at a 15°C minimum temperature. 4 hv2900 06-09 A4:Layout 1 18/8/09 14:23 Page 5 PREPARATION · Carefully cover areas which are not to be painted with a plastic cover and protective tape. · Wear a suitable mask when spraying products (and make sure there is adequate ventilation in the room when working indoors). · Clean the surface you are going to paint. As well as being clean, it must also be dry and smooth. · Practice first on some old wooden planks to make sure you are holding the Spray Gun correctly. · We recommend you wear protective clothing. · Stir the paint well using a mixer where possible. · Make sure there are no solid particles in the paint. · Many products can be sprayed without being thinned. However, if the application is not good, thin the product progressively in stages of 5%. · Most paints can be sprayed by being thinned just a little, e.g. by 5% or 10%. · Some thick paints such as outer wall paints and certain undercoats will need to be thinned by 20% or 25%. · Use water to thin a water-based product. · Use appropriate thinner to thin solvent-based products. · Certain manufacturers will indicate on the can whether a specific thinner is to be used. · Certain paint manufacturers have specific paints available for HVLP application. · The smaller Needle and Fluid Tip is the most commonly used size for decorative paints. Your Spray Station, is a powerful and versatile solution, and comes with two sizes of Needle and Fluid Tip: There are other optional Needle and Fluid Tip sizes available to purchase for more specific applications. · The larger Needle and Fluid Tip, which can be easily assembled to the Spray Gun (with the Needle and Fluid Tip Tool (1)), is for thick paints such as undercoats and smooth masonry paints. · Fill the Paint Container (12) with the product to be sprayed. Stir well (as mentioned previously) and strain to remove any bits which will interfere with a smooth consistent spray. · Make sure the Paint Container Seal (10) and Pick-up Tube (11) are firmly fitted into the base of the Spray Gun. · Screw the Paint Container (12) to the base of the Spray Gun and tighten accordingly. · Start with the Paint Flow Adjuster (9) at its minimum setting so the Trigger can not be pulled. Do not forget that the Paint Flow Adjuster controls the quantity of paint sprayed (Fig.4). · Uncoil the air Hose and attach it to the back of the Spray Gun and the other end to the Spray Station. · Uncoil the power cable and attach the plug to the mains supply. · Switch the Spray Station on. This will immediately cause some air to be produced, which is quite NORMAL. However, none of the product will be sprayed until the Spray Gun Trigger is pulled. · Very important: when spraying for the first time, we recommend that you always leave the motor unit to run for 1 to 2 minutes before applying the product. Do not forget that the Paint Flow Adjuster controls the quantity of paint sprayed (Fig.4). ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE MOTOR UNIT IS ON A RIGID SURFACE AND FREE FROM DUST. SET UP Horizontal and Vertical Spray with varying widths Vertical and Horizontal for normal sized jobs 3 spray patterns Round Spray Round for small and precise jobs The most commonly used technique for painting a large surface is the `crisscross' technique, i.e. you apply the product in a horizontal strips and then cross over these strips by applying the product in a vertical strips (Fig. 3). 1) To achieve a horizontal strip adjust the Spray Direction Plate to the vertical position then pull the Trigger and move your arm across to the right. (Fig.2) 3) Next, to achieve a vertical strip adjust the Spray Direction Plate to the horizontal position then pull the Trigger and move your arm up and down over the horizontal strips you just have sprayed. 2) When you get to the end of the line, release the Trigger for a moment and then apply the product in the opposite direction just beneath the line you have sprayed. (Fig.2) Through gradual movement of the Spray Direction Plate (4) between Horizontal, Vertical and Round spray pattern you can vary the width of the pattern (Fig.3) HINT: To obtain the best results always keep your Spray Gun level and at an equal distance from the object you are spraying, ideally 25-30cm (10"-12") (Fig.5/6). Let your arm control the movement rather than your wrist (Fig.5/6). This will help give you an even paint distribution. HINT: HVLP technology produces warm air through the Air Cap allowing the paint to dry quicker which can enhance the final effect. HINT: For ceilings and floors make sure the Pick-up Tube is properly oriented towards the handle of the Spray Gun. 5 hv2900 06-09 A4:Layout 1 18/8/09 14:23 Page 6 CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS SPRAY GUN Water based paint Oiled based paint Type of paint Clean with water HINT: When done immediately the cleaning operation can take you less than 5 minutes. If taking a break, leave the Spray Gun in a plastic bag to prevent the paint from drying. HINT: Before removing or re-inserting the Needle and Fluid Tip ensure the Spray Gun has been flushed through with water or the appropriate thinner so the inner tube is clean. Clean with appropriate thinner e.g. White Spirit Cleaning · Remove the Paint Container (12). · Pour any leftover paint into its container so that it can be used for the future. Pull the Trigger to allow paint to run out of the Pick-up Tube (11). · Pour a quantity of the respective thinner into container, shake the Spray Gun lightly, reassemble the Spray Gun, then spray this liquid though the Spray Gun. Repeat this until the thinner being sprayed is coming through with no traces of paint. · Clean any traces of paint off the outside of the Spray Gun. · Clean the Paint Container Seal (10). · · · · · · · · · · · Unscrew Air Cap Ring (2). Remove the Air Cap (3). Remove the Spray Direction Plate (4). It is recommended that you push the Trigger forward to help release the Fluid Tip (5). Using the Needle and Fluid Tip Tool - pincer end A (1) remove the Fluid Tip (5). Insert the Needle and Fluid Tip end B (1) into the inner tube and unscrew the Needle anticlockwise, then pull to release the Needle. Place all of these items into a container and clean, then using a brush and the respective thinners. Clean the inside of the body of the Spray Gun. Thoroughly dry all parts before reassembling. Reassemble parts in reverse order. Ensure the Air Cap Ring (2) is fully tightened and the Fluid Tip is pushed into place so that the Spray Gun Needle will shut off. NB: Ensure the Spray Direction Plate is free to move. If necessary loosen the Air Cap Ring (2) slightly. · NEVER DISPOSE OF PAINT ...
