INTRODUCTION
HVLP stands for High Volume, Low Pressure. This is a type of spraying that allows you to spray extremely
accurately but without all the overspray that occurs with the high pressure tank type equipment. In fact, in some
parts of the world the high pressure systems are banned by law on environmental grounds and HVLP type
systems are the only alternative for professional type spraying. This gun is extremely easy to use, very safe
and reduces the amount of paint used.
PLEASE NOTE
We have done all we can to ensure that used correctly and according to these instructions, this Spray Gun will

IMPORTANT: SELECTING PAINT
This is a highly versatile spray kit that can be used with several different spray mediums including varnishes,
wood preservatives, enamels, oil and water based paints and automotive paints. However some materials
