KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• High Material Transfer Efficiency: The HVLP technology allows for greater atomization and less overspray, meaning more material reaches the surface and less is wasted, saving you money on coatings.
• Versatile Application: The 1.5mm nozzle is a versatile choice, making this gun suitable for a broad spectrum of materials, from base coats to high-viscosity clear coats, making it a valuable tool for various projects.
• Ergonomic and Lightweight Design: At just 1.1 lb, the gun is well-balanced and comfortable to hold, which reduces user fatigue during extended use.
• Reduced Maintenance: With 29% fewer parts than previous models, the gun is easier to disassemble, clean, and maintain, ensuring it stays in optimal working condition.
• Gravity-Fed System: The gravity-fed design provides a consistent flow of material, which is ideal for a variety of paint consistencies and helps prevent clogging.

HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Before use, ensure the gun is clean. Secure the 20 oz aluminum cup to the gun body and fill it with your prepared paint or coating.
2. Air Connection: Connect the air hose to the air inlet at the base of the gun. Set your air compressor to provide 29 psi at the gun's inlet.
3. Adjustments: Use the fluid adjustment knob to control the amount of paint flow and the fan pattern knob to adjust the width of the spray pattern. A wider pattern is good for large, flat surfaces, while a narrower pattern works for smaller areas.
4. Testing: Before spraying your final surface, test the spray pattern on a scrap piece of cardboard or wood. Make any necessary adjustments to the air pressure or fluid controls.
5. Spraying: Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface, maintaining a consistent distance of about 6 to 8 inches. Pull the trigger to begin spraying and move the gun in smooth, overlapping passes to ensure even coverage. Release the trigger at the end of each pass.
6. Cleaning: After each use, disconnect the air supply, empty any remaining material from the cup, and flush the gun with the appropriate cleaning solvent until it runs clear.
