User manual EARLEX WDACC18

[. . . ] 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 give long and trouble free life. We accept no responsibility for damage caused by the use of incorrect or unsuitable substances, paints or fluids which have not been thinned correctly or are unsuitable for the surfaces to which they are applied, health hazards arising from lack of ventilation when working in confined spaces or failure of the equipment due to inadequate cleaning of the components after use. [. . . ] Paint is "thinned" by adding the substance which the paint is based upon. If a water based paint then water is added, if oil based then white spirit, if cellulose then a cellulose thinner is added. As some paints, wood preservatives and other sprayable materials contain particles that have differing qualities, please ensure that when filling the paint container of the spray gun, that the paint is filtered through either a funnel with a filter on it or through nylon tights or stockings. This will ensure that no large particles enter the paint container, so preventing blockages and provide you with trouble free spraying. Ensure that a face mask, gloves and goggles are worn at all times when spraying.

Using the above chart (or manufacturer's instructions) as a guide determine if the material requires further thinning, if so then thin accordingly. 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 trigger 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 container to provide the best angle to pick up all the paint in the container SPRAY PATTERNS Fig. 3 Fig. 1 OPERATION Fill the paint container with the material to be sprayed. 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. Vertical Jet Horizontal Jet Round Jet The gun has both adjustable volume control and 3 different spray patterns ­ Horizontal, Vertical and Round (Fig. 3) The horizontal and vertical are recommended for large surfaces. The round spray is used for small objects or for areas - such as corners ­ that are difficult to reach. To adjust the spray pattern, loosen the adjustment ring (9), adjust the position of the nozzle (8) to obtain either a vertical, horizontal or round pattern then retighten the adjustment ring. 5 Fig. 2 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 final. qxd 22/02/00 11:05 Page 6 PAINT VOLUME The volume of paint sprayed is easily adjustable. (Fig. 4) Fig. 4 Completely close adjustment screw (4) by turning this clockwise as far as it will go. Whilst pulling the trigger, begin turning the adjustment screw anti-clockwise until the volume of paint you require is obtained. If the paint spray is too wide or contains too much paint turn the adjustment screw clockwise again. Once the correct spray pattern is obtained you are able to commence spraying. SPRAYING TECHNIQUE 1. To obtain the best results always keep your spray gun level and spray equally from side to side or up or down 25-30cm (10"-12") from the surface. Avoid spraying at an angle as this will lead to runs on the surface (fig. 5). Let your arm control the left to right movement rather than your wrist as this will aid even paint distribution over the whole area (fig. 5). A fast speed will give a thin coat and a slow speed will give a heavy coat. [. . . ] Clean the gasket (11) inside the gun body NEVER DISPOSE OF PAINTS OR SOLVENTS INTO DRAINS.
