SPRAYING

i 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.

SPRAYING TECHNIQUE

•
Plug in the power cord to turn on the turbine. No material will
spray until the trigger is activated.
•
Position the spray gun perpendicular to the spray surface.
•
Spray parallel to the surface with straight and full passes at a
consistent speed as illustrated, right.
•
Always apply a thin coat of material on the first pass and allow to
dry before applying a second, slightly heavier coat.
•
When spraying, always trigger the spray gun after the spray
pass has begun and release the trigger before stopping the
pass. Always keep the gun pointed squarely at the spray surface
and overlap passes by 50% to obtain the most consistent and
professional finish possible.
i Frequently wipe the nozzle tip with a damp
rag when spraying to remove dried material.
HOW TO SPRAY PROPERLY
Practice your technique:
•
Get closer. The spray gun should be 6-12 inches away from the
spray object.
•
Full passes. Spray the material in straight and full passes, not
short waves.
•
Light coats. For a finer finish, coat lightly during first pass, then
cover completely on second pass. .
i DO NOT pull the trigger when the turbine is
unplugged. Spray material will leak from the
nozzle.
i If after following the guidelines on these
two pages you are still not getting the
spray performance you need, refer to the
'Troubleshooting' section on page 11.
