Spraying
ON / OFF switch
The ON/OFF switch is
located on top of the
carrying handle of the
turbine.
Pressure Control Dial
The pressure control
dial adjusts the level of
air pressure produced
by the turbine. For
thinner materials, (low
viscosity), use a lower
pressure setting. For
thicker materials (higher
viscosity), use a higher
pressure setting.
If you have too much
overspray, decrease the
pressure setting.

Adjust Spray Pattern

The spray pattern shape is adjusted by turning the
ears of the air cap to either the vertical, horizontal, or
diagonal positions. The positions of the air cap and the
corresponding spray pattern shapes are illustrated to
the right.
Test each pattern and use whichever pattern is suitable
for your application.
nEvER trigger the gun while adjusting the
ears on the air cap. nEvER point the spray
gun at any part of the body.

Proper Spraying Technique
If spraying with an HVLP spray system is new or
unfamiliar to you, it is advisable to practice on a piece
of scrap wood or cardboard before beginning on your
intended workpiece.
Surface Preparation
All objects to be sprayed should be thoroughly cleaned
before spraying material on them. Areas not to be
sprayed may, in certain cases, need to be masked or
covered.
Spray Area Preparation
The spray area must be clean and free of dust in order
to avoid blowing dust onto your freshly sprayed surface.
How to Spray Properly
• Position the spray gun perpendicular to and one (1)
Nut
or more inches from the spray surface, depending
upon the spray pattern size desired.
Air cap
• Spray parallel to the surface with smooth passes at a
consistent speed as illustrated below. Doing this will
help avoid irregularities in the finish (i. e. runs and
sags).
• Always apply a thin coat of material on the first pass
and allow to dry before applying a second, slightly
heavier coat.
Keep stroke smooth and at an even speed
• When spraying, always trigger the spray gun
after spray pass has begun and release trigger
before stopping the pass. Always keep the gun
pointed squarely at the spray surface and overlap
passes slightly to obtain the most consistent and
professional finish possible.
Light coat
When you quit spraying for any length of time, turn the
turbine OFF and place the spray gun into the spray gun
holder on the turbine.
