Dip the viscosity cup into the material
and fill up. Time how long it takes for
the viscosity cup to empty (Fig 1).
Using the above chart (or manufactur-
er’s instructions) as a guide determine
if the material requires further thinning,
if so then thin accordingly.
OPERATION
Fill the paint container with the material
to be sprayed. DO NOT OVERFILL.
Screw the container onto the
body
tight-
ly.
The spray gun is supplied with a hose.
This is designed to fit into the hose
supplied with the Combivac to give you
sufficient length of hose to be able to
spray most objects without limiting the
spraying action.
The Combivac hose needs to be fitted
to the “Blower” outlet (Fig.2) – this is
the outlet at the top of the machine.
Connect the additional hose, supplied
with the Spray Gun into the end of the
Combivac hose and the other end into
the back of the Spray Gun.
ALWAYS KEEP THE COMBIVAC UNIT
AS FAR AWAY FROM THE SPRAYING
AREA AS POSSIBLE TO PREVENT
PAINT CONTAMINATING THE
MOTOR.
MASK ANY AREA YOU DO NOT WISH
TO BE SPRAYED
Once you have set up ready to spray,
switch on the Combivac. No paint will
be sprayed from the gun until the trig-
ger on the Spray Gun is pulled. Before
starting any work on spraying actual
objects we suggest you spend a small
amount of time practicing on cardboard
or newspaper until you have got used
to how the gun works.
Position the fluid tube in the paint con-
tainer to provide the best angle to pick
up all the paint in the container
SPRAY PATTERNS
The gun has both adjustable volume
control and 3 different spray patterns –
Horizontal, Vertical and Round (Fig.3)
The horizontal and vertical are recom-
mended for large surfaces. The round
spray is used for small objects or for
areas - such as corners – that are diffi-
cult to reach.
To adjust the spray pattern, loosen the
adjustment ring (9), adjust the position
of the nozzle (8) to obtain either a verti-
cal, horizontal or round pattern then re-
tighten the adjustment ring.
