Hvlp spray gun инструкция по применению

Knowing how to use HVLP spray gun models and clean them when you are done using them is important.

These tools need the proper care to operate as they were designed to, and you need to be aware of the best practices for using them. 

Knowing what an HVLP spray gun is and how it works can significantly improve the results of the work that you do with them. Find out more below!

How To Best Paint With A HVLP Spray Gun

HVLP spray gun setup is a straightforward kind of spraying gun to set up, use, and maintain. You will have a few challenges when you pick this spray gun model, no matter who makes it. 

You will love that you can use and care for this gun so readily since you are not making money while you are doing clean-up processes or dealing with issues with your machine. 

Preparations for Using Paint Sprayer

Setting Up

You will need to add your product of choice to the hopper, and then you will want to attach your spraying gun of choice to the hopper. You will need to make sure that your product has been prepared correctly before you add it to the hopper for the best results. 

Since these guns are gravity fed, preparing this way will help the gun thin down and spray the product evenly. 

Make sure that you connect the air hoses correctly per your instruction manual. You will then want to check that the spray pattern is right for your needs.

You might need to switch to a bigger tip if there are issues with the spray not being thin enough. This can be common with viscous paints or primer products. 

Make sure that you use the adjustment wheel to angle the spray width correctly and provide the right coverage for your needs.

You will also want to be sure that you have not used too much product in the hopper to allow you to keep your hand steady. This can impact your overall painting results, so be realistic here with a weight you are comfortable holding. 

Adjusting The HVLP Spray Gun

These guns are meant to be adjusted through two means. You can change the angle and pattern of the spray that you are applying to surfaces by turning the wheel adjustment that is usually at the back of the gun.

You can also change out the tip to make spraying more reliable with thicker paints and varnishes or sealants. Be sure that you have various size tips available for this reason.

You will experience clogs and other issues if you try to force your spraying gun to work with the wrong size tip in place. 

Spraying 

When you need to spray on varnishes and thick paints with this spray gun, you will need to be sure that you are using the right tip and that you have the correct spray pattern in place.

This might take some trial and error if you have not used a product before, but it is usually really simple to sort out what is needed to get the right spray pattern. 

Always start out with the spray needle wide open so that you do not clog the gun right away. You will then want to do some test sprays and see if your airflow, your nozzle size, and the flow pattern are correct.

It is easy to make adjustments after your test sprays so that you will get the right flow of product. 

Once you have the product flowing correctly, you will need to spray with even pressure and even strokes to prevent streaking and other issues.

Move quickly enough that you are not spraying too long in any one spot. This is easy to do when you are using either the hopper-fed or siphon-fed models of this gun since the handsets are quite light. 

Cleaning Up 

To thoroughly clean your HVLP spray gun, you will need to remove the hopper and rinse it out with water or a solvent. You can then add water to the hopper and attach the sprayer again. Rinse all this water through the spraying gun by operating it just as you did when you had paint in it. 

Once the water is running clear, you will need to put some solvent into a small bucket and disassemble all the parts of your handset.

Set the filter to the side because it is already clean. You will need to use a toothbrush or a rag to clean off the small parts that go inside the handset and remove paint from them. 

After this process is done, you can reassemble the sprayer and reattach it to the cleaned hopper. Your spraying gun will be ready for the next time that you need it. 

How To Determine The Correct Tip Size For HVLP Spray Gun

You need to be sure that you use the correct size tip for your paint spraying needs.[1]

It can ruin or clog your gun to use the wrong tip, and you might experience runs in your paint as well as overspray and other issues if you are using the wrong size tip for the job at hand. 

This is a critical part of getting good results from this style gun, no matter if you are using a hopper-fed model or a siphon-fed style gun.

Intended Use

Atomising gravity feed spray gun, powered by filtered compressed air from a compressor, for spraying of medium viscosity paint and coatings at low pressures

Compared to conventional spray guns, HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spray guns use a higher volume of air to atomise the paint at much lower air pressures. As a result, a higher proportion of paint reaches the workpiece surface, and overspray, material consumption as well as air pollution, are greatly reduced.

Unpacking Your Tool

Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and functions

Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool

Before Use

Fitting the quick connector

Note: This tool is supplied with two different male airline quick connectors:

EQ-4 – commonly used in Europe

EN-6 – mainly used in the UK

Please choose the connector that is compatible with the airline system you are using, and install as outlined below:

1.Apply PTFE tape (not included) to the screw threads of the Quick Connector (7). This will help to maintain an air tight seal

Note: Apply PTFE tape tightly and in a clockwise direction, so it does not come off when the thread is screwed into the tool.

2.Remove the protective plug from the air inlet

3.Using a spanner (not included) screw the quick connector into the air inlet located at the base of the handle

4.Connect to airline, pressurise carefully and carry out a leak check (e.g. by spraying small amounts of soapy water on to the outside of the connectors)

Air lines fitted with matching female quick connectors will now be a push fit to the tool

Fitting the paint container

Before fitting the gravity feed Paint Container (2), pull out the plastic filter element that sits inside the paint container connection of the spray gun, clean if necessary (see ‘Maintenance’) and inspect for damage

Fit the paint container by screwing it in to the opening on top of the spray gun. Tighten by hand

Note: Always inspect the O-ring on the paint container thread, and ensure it is in good condition. Change if required.

Air line

• This tool should be connected to a clean, dry air supply with water separator and filter

WARNING: Under no circumstances can the spray gun be used in a compressed air system with integrated oiler.

Note: Achieving a fine spray finish without the use of a high quality separator filter is virtually impossible.

Do not allow supply pressure to exceed the maximum stated (see ‘Specifications’)

Ensure that water is drained from air system daily

Ensure that all parts of the system (hoses, couplers, etc.) are correctly rated for the air pressure to be used

Do not use non-conductive tubing to help prevent build-up of electrostatic charge

Setting the air pressure

Spray pressure must be set properly to allow for the drop in air pressure between the regulator and the spray gun

Use recommended hose diameter to minimise pressure drop and adjust supply air pressure according to ‘Specifications’

IMPORTANT: To reduce overspray and in order to obtain maximum efficiency, always spray with the lowest possible air pressure.

Paint preparation

WARNING: Ensure the type of paint, solvent used and the viscosity is suitable for the material and type of this spray gun.

Mix, condition and filter the material to be sprayed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations

Refer to the manufacturer’s guidelines for storing and disposal of prepared material

Filling the paint container

1.Ensure the spray gun is disconnected from the air supply

2.Unscrew the Paint Container Lid (1)

3.Fill the paint container to the required level

Note: The outside of the paint container features a scale in ml. Never overfill (see ‘Specifications’ for max. paint container capacity).

4. Re-fit the lid of the paint container. Close tightly by hand

Note: The lid features a small hole for pressure equalisation and is therefore not completely sealed. Take care not to spill material through this hole. Always ensure the hole remains clean and unblocked.

Adjusting the spray gun

Bring the spray gun into the default position:

1.Carefully screw the Knurled Needle Adjustment Screw (4) clockwise until it stops

Note: The needle adjustment screw features a separate knurled locking ring that needs to be loosened before adjustment is possible. Tighten this ring to lock the needle adjustment.

Spray technique

• To achieve a smooth even coat the material must be prepared and thinned in accordance to the manufacturer’s guidelines

• The gun must be clean and correctly loaded, the spray pattern adjusted and the compressor set at the correct pressure

• Always carry out a test spray and follow the procedures described in ‘Adjusting the spray gun’, to establish the best settings

• Hold the spray gun approximately 200-250mm away from the workpiece

• Spray workpiece edges first. Overlap approximately 50% of each applied spray beam

• Spray in continuous, even motion. Keep your hand as steady as possible and move the spray in a straight pass across the workpiece (see Fig. B)

• Do not operate in an arc motion. Arcing will lead to an uneven finish (see Fig. B)

• Avoid intensive waving, as it will cause the air jacket to become unstable, allowing clouds of atomised spray material to escape

• Before spraying it is good practice to visualise the entire spraying process. Start with the least visible areas and work towards the parts that will be seen. This will create an even finish, allow you to identify problematic areas of the workpiece, and let you work around spots that may already have been covered

Gravity Feed HVLP Spray Gun

• After use, immediately disconnect the spray gun from the air supply

WARNING: Be aware that air tools may hold residual pressure after use. Always bleed air pressure from the tool after shutting off air supply.

Maintenance

WARNING: Always disconnect from the air supply and depressurise before disassembling or carrying out any maintenance.

WARNING: Always wear suitable protective equipment including eye and respiratory protection, as well as gloves, when carrying out cleaning or maintenance procedures.

WARNING: The majority of solvents used for painting applications are toxic and highly flammable. Comply with local laws and regulations with regards to handling, storage and disposal of solvents and other harmful and potentially dangerous substances.

Note: Your spray gun is a fine precision instrument and must be treated and maintained accordingly, in order to achieve consistent, professional-looking, uniform results.

The most common problems with spray guns are caused by paint being allowed to dry inside the tip, nozzle or internal air/fluid passages

Clean the entire spray gun thoroughly after each project, and when changing the type of material being sprayed

Always use the same solvent for cleaning that was used to thin the paint

General cleaning after every use

1.Unscrew Paint Container Lid (1), empty remaining material into a suitable sealed container, unscrew the Paint Container (2) from the spray gun and clean thoroughly with the appropriate solvent and clean cloths

2.Pull the plastic filter element out of the spray gun body (it sits inside the paint container connection) and clean thoroughly with solvent

3.Clean the nozzle assembly of the gun, lid and gasket of the paint container

4.Refit the filter element and paint container, fill with a small amount of solvent and close the lid

5.Connect the gun to the air supply

6.Direct the gun towards an empty container and spray the solvent through the gun into the container, until the spray is clear of any paint

7.Turn off the air supply and disconnect the gun

8.Open the paint container, empty remaining solvent into the disposal container, and allow all components to dry thoroughly

WARNING: In order to prevent solvents and other harmful substances from entering the atmosphere, open solvent cleaning is not permitted in some territories, and special

cleaning procedures apply (e.g. cleaning inside special closed bags and containers, etc.). Make yourself familiar with local regulations, and apply the recommended procedures.

Special cleaning procedures for air and fluid nozzles and needles

WARNING: All nozzles and needles are precision made. They must be handled with the utmost care. Damage and alterations will cause decreased performance or faulty spray.

WARNING: Needles have sharp points. Handle with care to avoid puncture wounds and other injuries.

1.Referring to the ‘Assembly Diagram’, carefully disassemble the spray gun, remove the nozzle assembly and fluid needle

2.To clean, soak nozzles and needle in a suitable solvent that dissolves any dried material and clean with a suitable soft brush

Note: Never soak the entire spray gun in solvent, as this will damage the packings and remove lubrication.

3. Carefully blow all components clean with filtered, compressed air

WARNING: Do not probe any of the holes in the nozzles with metal instruments. If mechanical cleaning becomes necessary, use only implements from materials softer than brass, such as specialised nozzle cleaning aids.

Lubrication

Even though the air and material passages of the spray gun must remain free of oil and other contaminants, some components require frequent lubrication

Slightly lubricate all packings, bearings and dynamic O-rings with a specialised spray gun lube, and apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to springs

Remarque : Régler la molette de réglage de pulvérisation (9) empêche d’appuyer plus qu’il ne faut sur la gâchette.

• Pour obtenir une couche régulière, la peinture ou la substance de revêtement doit être préparée et diluée selon les instructions du fabricant.

• Le pistolet doit être propre et correctement rempli, le jet de pulvérisation réglé et le compresseur réglé à la pression requise

• Effectuez toujours un test pour le jet comme indiqué dans le ‘Réglage du pistolet’ pour obtenir le meilleur réglage

• Gardez le pistolet à environ 20-25 cm de la pièce de travail.

• Pulvérisez d’abord la peinture sur les bords. Repassez sur à peu près de la moitié de la bande peinte pour peindre la prochaine bande.

• Pulvérisez en continue avec un geste régulier. Maintenez le pistolet fermement et restez bien parallèle le long de la pièce de travail

• N’effectuez pas de mouvement en arrondi car la finition ne sera pas régulière (voir Fig.B)

Evitez de trop secouer, car cela pourrait entrainer une circulation d’air instable et provoquer l’émanation de nuages de pulvérisation de peinture.

Avant de commencer la pulvérisation, il est recommandé de bien visualiser la pièce à peindre. Commencez par les endroits les moins visibles vers les plus visibles. Cela vous permettra d’obtenir une meilleure finition, en vous permettant d’identifier les endroits les plus problématiques et de travailler autour des endroits déjà peints.

Après utilisation, débranchez immédiatement le pistolet de la source en air comprimé.

ATTENTION : De l’air comprimé résiduel peut rester dans l’appareil après utilisation. Purgez toujours l’air de l’appareil après avoir éteint l’alimentation en air.

Entretien

ATTENTION : Débranchez toujours l’appareil de sa source d’alimentation et purgez l’air avant de démonter ou effectuer son entretien.

ATTENTION : Portez toujours les équipements de sécurité comme les protections oculaires et respiratoires, ainsi que des gants avant d’effectuer les opérations de nettoyages et d’entretien.

ATTENTION : La plupart des solvants utilisés pour la peinture sont toxiques et hautement inflammables. Référez-vous aux lois et régulations locales en ce qui concerne la manipulation, entrepôt et le rejet des solvants et d’autres substances nocives et potentiellement dangereuses.

Remarque : Le pistolet est un outil de précision et doit donc être traité et maintenu en conséquence, afin d’obtenir des résultats performants et constants.

Le problème le plus commun des pistolets est causé par de la peinture qui a séché à l’intérieur de la pointe, la buse ou dans la conduite.

Nettoyez le pistolet entièrement après chaque utilisation, et lorsque le type de substance à pulvériser change.

Utilisez toujours le même solvant qui a été utilisé pour diluer la peinture.

Nettoyage après chaque utilisation

1.Enlevez le réservoir, videz le reste de peinture ou autre substance dans un récipient hermétique adéquat et nettoyez avec le solvant approprié et un chiffon propre.

2.Nettoyez la buse, le couvercle et le joint d’étanchéité du réservoir

3.Versez une petite quantité de solvant dans le réservoir propre et remontez-le sur le pistolet.

4.Branchez le pistolet sur la source d’air

5.Dirigez le pistolet vers un récipient vide et pulvérisez le solvant dans le récipient jusqu’à le jet ne présente plus de trace de peinture

6.Coupez l’alimentation en air et débranchez le pistolet

7.Retirez le réservoir, et videz le reste de solvant dans un récipient adéquat pour être rejeté, et laissez sécher toutes les parties du pistolet.

8.Remontez le réservoir pour ranger le pistolet.

ATTENTION : Afin de ne pas relâcher des solvants ou autres substances nocives dans l’atmosphère, ouvrir des solvants de nettoyage dans certains endroits n’est pas permis, et des procédures spéciales de nettoyage doivent être suivies (par exemple utilisation de sacs fermés ou récipients, etc.). Familiarisez-vous avec les régulations locales et suivez les instructions recommandées.

Nettoyage spécial pour les buses et les aiguilles

Attention : Toutes les buses et aiguilles sont fabriquées avec précision. Elles doivent être manipulées avec grandes précautions. Tout endommagement ou modification réduira la performance de l’appareil ou provoquera un mauvais jet de pulvérisation.

Attention : Les aiguilles ont une extrémité pointue. Manipulez avec précaution pour éviter les blessures.

1.Référez-vous au schéma éclaté pour démonter le pistolet et enlevez la buse et l’aiguille

2.Pour nettoyer, trempez les buses et l’aiguille dans un solvant capable d’enlever les résidus secs et nettoyez avec une brosse adéquate souple.

Remarque : Ne trempez jamais entièrement le pistolet dans un solvant, car cela abimera le corps du pistolet et enlèvera la lubrification.

3. Soufflez avec précaution toutes les parties nettoyées avec de l’air comprimé filtré.

ATTENTION : N’essayez pas de nettoyer l’intérieur des buses avec des instruments métalliques. Si un nettoyage mécanique est nécessaire, utilisez uniquement des outils en matériau plus doux que le laiton, comme des agents de nettoyage spécifiques aux buses.

Mastering the art of spray paint can be gratifying, especially when it shows off a finished product that has been completed by your own hand.

Whether you’re someone who is a professional artist or perhaps a hobbyist with an eye for detail.

Setting up and creating a work of art that is worthy of showing off is easier than ever thanks to HVLP spray paint gun technology.

In this post of mine, I will teach you guys “how to use an HVLP spray gun” properly so that you people out there.

Who can be an amateur in this profession don’t mess up stuff and getting disappointed?

Don’t worry I will try my best to teach you guys the best use of an HVLP spray gun in my post.

On the other hand, I have to admit that HVLP gun sprayers may seem a bit more difficult to use at first. However, you will discover that they are basically pretty similar to other sprayers out there.

In fact, if you’re familiar with HVLP sprayer parts, you will no doubt find it easier to use one of these particular machines.

What is an HVLP sprayer?

In short, an HVLP spray gun is a spray gun that uses much less paint than a regular paint gun. One of the main benefits of an HVLP spray gun is that it reduces paint waste.

Although the price tag may be much higher than a traditional spray gun some are affordable in the market also.

And the lower amount of paint consumed per project can actually save you money in the long run, which is great news for many DIY enthusiasts.

These spray guns are also much less messy than traditional paint guns.

Parts of HVLP sprayer

Since they are more precise, they are able to completely cover all areas without running or dripping.

HVLP spray guns also provide you with excellent control over your spray pattern, which means you are better able to spray a fine pattern, unlike with a traditional paint gun.

This helps you get a more detailed finish. These spray guns are also excellent at laying paint down extremely smoothly, and they produce a superior finish that is long-lasting.

Types of HVLP sprayers out there:

In fact, there are types of HVLP spray guns out there. However, they can be divided into two categories: air-powered and electric.

Air-powered HVLP spray guns use air pressure to deliver paint to the surface.

The air comes from a compressor, which also supplies air for the paint cups. Air needs to be filtered, so it does not blow any debris or other foreign particles into the paint.

The other type of HVLP spray gun uses electricity to produce pressure. The electricity goes to the high-pressure pump, which in turn creates pressure that pushes the paint out of the tip.

Some electric HVLP guns are corded, while others are cordless. However, they both have the same advantages.

Electric HVLP guns are quieter and produce less vibration, which is why many people like them.

They are smaller, easier to handle and a lot easier to use. However, some people dislike them because.

They can be a bit too complicated but they are not if they read the manual which the company sends with the product.

Things you will need to get the job done (My suggestions)

Make sure before starting with the project you have these things with you to make your work easy and with satisfactory results

  • Paint sprayer which suits you
  • The compressor can be needed sometimes
  • Nozzle
  • Coating
  • Cardboard piece to check the sprayer
  • Protection is a must like goggles, face masks, gloves, etc.

The process to set up the HVLP spray gun

When learning how to set up an HVLP spray gun, it very much depends on whether you’re using a pneumatic or turbine-powered unit.

But as the fundamentals are the same, I will keep it to four simple sections — preparation and how to properly adjust your HVLP spray gun.

Preparation of sprayer

First of all, the preparation of the sprayer is a must before doing anything.

When DIYing, preparation is key. The first step is to read your owner’s manual for any specific details.

From this, you can determine the exact air requirements for your device and have the correct-sized compressor at hand (in the case of a pneumatic spray gun).

The way I started painting my house was very simple. I wanted to remove the weathered finish, so I decided to prime the surface.

Doing so would provide an even base layer in preparation for repainting it with a fresh coat.

Selecting the appropriate type of paint spray tip is all part of the how-to choose a spray gun process — it’s not a case of one size fits all.

For example, if you’re planning on using a dense coating on an expansive surface area, you’ll need a larger-sized tip to the size.

Which your spray tip can atomize and project your fan pattern is going to determine the coverage you ultimately get for your body material.

This is where a sprayer such as the Wagner FLEXiO 5000 could be a great bit of kit — there are two different tips included with this high-quality HVLP gun.

The first is an x-large .50 mm wide pattern that offers great coverage over large surface areas while being a super fine finish;

And second, there’s also a .60 mm wide ultra & extra fine pattern option with this model, which should suit those looking to do more intricate detailing work!

Adjustment and testing of the HVLP sprayer

Before you start to work on a project, it is important to test out your equipment.

You want to make sure that everything is calibrated correctly so that when you actually begin working it will roll out right away.

To do this simply place some pieces of scrap cardboard or paper onto the top of the motor drive tray, and create a two-inch border of space around all sides.

Next set both the volume and angle controls accordingly – make sure that they are not too far apart, but also not setting controls too close together as this will give off an inconsistent coating.

HVLP sprayer patterns

To get the best out of your sprayer, keep the sprayer six inches away from the surface and gently pull on the trigger for a split second, then release it to deliver a quick burst of coating.

Once you see that even pattern with each such burst, that’s when you’ve got your pattern length set just right.

And unless you want a new design every time you open up your paint can don’t touch any more dials!

Now, hold your spray gun at a distance of around nine inches from the surface and spray another short burst of coating.

This time, there should be one pattern that is between nine and ten inches long. The pattern should provide total coverage in the center with an even fade away toward the edges.

You might find that the spray gun you’re using isn’t performing well at low RPMs. If you’re using a pneumatic gun with an air regulator, slightly reduce the pressure output on the regulator.

You can then begin the test again to fine-tune your settings and retry it until you achieve good results from all angles.

Once you finish this test and feel that you don’t need to make any further adjustments while working, then you’re ready to paint!

Some sprayer techniques I use

These are some of the techniques which I often use with HVLP spray guns for my projects.

I am gonna share these so that you guys get help with these while doing your projects with the HVLP sprayer.

I hope these techniques or some of these might help you out in some way or the other.

Let me know in the comments section if any one of these techniques helped you out while painting the surface or object

Uplift your project

If you’re working with a smaller-medium-sized object (think hobby-project sized rather than full-scale project)

It can help to raise your work so that you can use the HVLP system at a comfortable height to keep your posture safe and sound.

If you work in an area with a workbench, cover it with something to avoid damage and wear – like an old drop cloth shall we say? – and place your object on top.

If you don’t have a permanent workspace of your own just yet then don’t worry. You could use an old cardboard box or similar to hold up the object (carefully!) while you spray away.

Keeping the arm straight

You don’t need to walk a line between a tight, uncomfortable grip and a loose/limp hand.

Just keep your arm in a straight line with the HVLP spray gun nozzle while spraying on basecoats and stains — this will ensure even coverage of your favorite coatings.

Apply thinner coats

When you’re painting you should be aware that the thinner your coats, the easier it will be to get a smooth finished surface.

It’s easy to see when the paint is applied in an uneven manner and you’ll end up with drips, which not only looks unprofessional but is also a time-waster for sanding it down after as well.

Going with the Grain

When staining or painting a wood-based project, go with the grain. Much like music, this directly follows the lead of a headliner act as well-known and widely regarded as Wood Grain.

By following what naturally comes to you once exposed to it through an HVLP paint sprayer.

You’ll achieve a finish that won’t soon be forgotten by anyone that might happen to lay eyes on your masterpiece of DIY!

Check the weather before starting

At one of my friend’s places there’s always raining so he also checks that if the weather is clear a little bit then he is good to go or he covers the stuff if he had to paint while in little rain.

Not all work days are made equal. It’s a good idea to choose a non-breezy day when working outdoors.

Because you don’t want your project to end up looking like a Jackson Pollock painting in the end.

Trade-offs can be made of course, if the time crunch is real but we recommend coming prepared so that the choice is not yours to make.

Protect yourself

I’d like to point out that it’s vital to wear a face mask, eye goggles, and coveralls while spraying.

Not only will this protect your clothes and avoid getting the coating on yourself, but you can also prevent any irritation to your skin.

How do you use an HVLP sprayer?

  • Prepare the surface to be sprayed by cleaning and sanding it.
  • Mix the paint or stain according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
