Technical Description

SIMALFA G1
The spraying pressure is 0.7 bar with an input pressure of 3.3 bar.
When operating the trigger (item 44), preliminary air is opened first and then the
material needle (item 27) is pulled back. This allows the spraying material to flow
through the nozzle. Closing is performed in reverse order. The material flow rate
is dependent on the diameter of the nozzle and the mount height of the free flow-
ing system container. In addition, the material flow rate can be controlled by scre-
wing the adjusting screw (item 29) in or out. For further adjustment possibilities,
see "5.4 Adjusting the Spray Pattern".

WARNING – during the spraying of flammable materials (e.g. solvent-containing
adhesives, cleaning agents, etc.), there is an increased risk to health as well as an
increased risk of explosion and fire.
Before carrying out maintenance or servicing work, always ensure that the air and
material feed to the spray gun have been depressurised. Risk of injury!
When spraying materials, do not place your hands or other parts of the body in front
of the pressurised nozzle or the spray gun. Risk of injury!
Never point the spray gun at persons or animals. Risk of injury!
Always observe the spraying and safety instructions given by the manufacturers of
the spraying material and the cleaning agent. Aggressive and corrosive materials in
particular can be harmful to health.
Exhaust air containing particles (overspray) must be kept away from the working
area and personnel. In spite of these measures, always wear the regulation brea-
thing masks and protective overalls when using the gun. Airborne particles represent
a serious health hazard!
Always wear hearing protection when using the gun or when in the vicinity of a gun
that is in use. The noise level generated by the spray gun is approx. 84 dB (A).
After carrying out assembly or maintenance work, always ensure that all nuts, bolts
and screw connections have been fully tightened before the gun is used.
Use only original replacement parts, since the manufacturer can only guarantee safe
and fault-free operation for original parts.
For further information on the safe use of the spray gun and the spraying materials,
please contact the manufacturer.
