Cleaning Instructions; Spray Gun - Earlex HV2900 Instrucciones De Funcionamiento

HELPFUL HINTS
1. Evenly control the speed of movement of the Spray Gun. A fast speed will give a thin coat and a
slow speed will give a heavy coat.
2. Only apply one coat at a time. If a further coat is required follow the paint manufacturer's
instructions for drying times.
3. If spraying small areas or objects keep the adjusting screw setting
low as this will avoid excessive use of paints and will minimize
overspray.
4. When spraying large areas or objects, it is best to use a criss-cross
pattern, either from left to right then up or down or vice versa. This
will ensure maximum coverage (Fig.7).
5. Avoid stopping and starting when spraying as this can lead to too
much or not enough material on a surface.
6. To ensure edges are covered, commence spraying just to the side of
area being sprayed.
7. CLEAN SPRAY GUN AFTER EVERY USE (SEE CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS).

LUBRICATED, IMMEDIATELY AFTER EACH USE. IF THE PAINT DRIES INSIDE THE GUN
CLEANING WILL BE MUCH MORE DIFFICULT AND MAY RENDER THE GUN INOPERABLE.
THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE GUARANTEE.
